Apartament Driftwood

Apartament Driftwood Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartament Driftwood on Popiełuszki Street, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel experience. It’s actually more like staying in someone’s thoughtfully designed apartment — which, honestly, is exactly what makes it so appealing. The building itself blends seamlessly into the residential neighborhood, and there’s something refreshing about pulling up to a place where you’re not fighting for parking with tour buses and crowds.

Location & Neighborhood

The location in Gdańsk is genuinely impressive, and I can see why recent guests rated it 9.3 out of 10. You’re positioned perfectly between the historic Old Town and the more modern parts of the city — close enough to walk to the main attractions but far enough to escape the tourist chaos when you need a breather. The neighborhood has that authentic Polish residential feel, with local cafes and shops scattered around. You know what’s really nice? You can actually hear yourself think here, unlike some of the hotels right in the city center where the noise never stops.

The Space

This four-star property feels more spacious than most traditional hotel rooms, mainly because it’s designed like an actual living space. The kitchen setup is particularly well done — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but actual cooking facilities if you want to grab some fresh ingredients from the local market. The design has this coastal, driftwood-inspired aesthetic (hence the name, I suppose) that manages to feel both modern and cozy. I mean, it’s not trying too hard to be trendy, which I appreciate.

What Sets It Apart

The free private parking alone makes this place worth considering — anyone who’s tried to park in central Gdańsk knows what a headache that can be. But beyond the practical stuff, there’s something about the whole setup that just works better for couples. Maybe it’s the way the space is laid out, or the fact that you can actually cook breakfast together instead of rushing down to a crowded hotel restaurant. The attention to detail is noticeable without being overwhelming, and the cleanliness standards are honestly exceptional (which probably explains that perfect 10 rating).

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, it’s clear why couples rate this place so highly for romantic getaways. There’s an intimacy to the experience that you just can’t get in a traditional hotel — you’re living in Gdańsk rather than just visiting it. The combination of privacy, space, and that stellar location creates something special. Plus, when you’re exploring the beautiful streets of the Old Town or taking evening walks along the Motława River, you know you’re returning to a place that actually feels like home rather than just another hotel room.
