Apartament Gdański Słoneczny Nr 34

Apartament Gdański Słoneczny Nr 34 Overview

When I first walked up to Apartament Gdański Słoneczny Nr 34, I was struck by how neatly the building fits into the cobblestone rhythm of Bernarda Chrzanowskiego. The façade is a tidy mix of brick and glass, and the little balcony that juts out over the street has a view of the old market square that I can’t stop thinking about. The check‑in was almost instant – the receptionist was humming something from the 90s and had the key ready in less than a minute, which was a relief after my long flight. They handed me a small notebook with recommended cafés and a map that highlighted the best spots to catch the sunrise over the Motława River; honestly, it was a lifesaver for someone like me who’s not a local.

The rooms themselves are a cozy blend of modern polish and historic charm. The bed feels like a cloud – the mattress is firm enough that you can’t flop off into a dream, but the linens are soft enough to keep you wrapped in comfort. I love the little touches: a handwritten note in Polish on the bedside table reminding you to try the pierogi at the nearby “Stary Dom” on Zwycięstwa street, and a small kettle that whistles the exact time you set it for, so you don’t miss your morning coffee. The bathroom smells faintly of lavender, which is a nice contrast to the city’s bustling noise outside. Speaking of noise, the building is smack in the middle of the Old Town, but the windows are double‑glazed, so you only hear the distant chatter and the occasional honk from the port traffic. It’s the kind of quiet that still feels alive; you can almost hear the echo of the medieval walls when you step outside.

Parking is a bit of a story. Street parking is scarce, especially on weekends, but the hotel offers a small parking spot just a block away in a municipal lot, which is free if you book a room there. If that’s not enough, there’s a paid parking garage on 3rd street that’s only a three‑minute walk and has a stroller-friendly elevator – a decent compromise for families. The real perk, though, is the free Wi‑Fi that’s solid even during the peak tourist season, and the fact that the staff are always ready with a friendly recommendation or a quick tip. For instance, the hotel’s concierge mentioned a hidden gem – a little trattoria on Motława that serves the best homemade pasta in the city; I had to try it. If you’re planning to stay during the summer, expect the street to be filled with music and laughter; the nights are lively, but the air still carries a faint hint of sea salt. All in all, Apartament Gdański Słoneczny Nr 34 is a place where the past and present dance together, and it’s a spot I’d recommend with no reservations or fluff – just honest, warm, and unmistakably Gdańsk.
