Apartament Olszynka Overview

Apartament Olszynka sits on Kanałowa 14, right on the edge of the Gdańsk Canal, so you can hear the gentle splash of the water every morning. I first spotted it while strolling past the old town’s cobblestones, the building’s brick façade blending with the historic architecture of the surrounding lanes—Św. Mikołaja, St. Mary’s, you know, that whole old‑world vibe. Honestly, the first thing that grabbed me was the little wrought‑iron sign that read the name in a classic Polish font, almost like a secret kept by locals. I mean, if you’re looking for a place that feels like a slice of Gdańsk rather than a generic hotel, this spot gives you that feel.

Check‑in was surprisingly smooth. The front desk staff—two young Poles with a friendly grin—let me in before the usual rush, which is a relief when you’re exhausted from a day of sightseeing. I was handed a key card and a quick rundown of the amenities. The rooms are a mix of contemporary design and cozy touches: a comfy bed, a flat‑screen TV, a small kitchenette that’s just enough to boil water for a cup of tea (I swear, the kettle is surprisingly quiet). You can hear the canal murmur from the window, and at night, the city lights dance on the water—it’s a background soundtrack that you don’t even notice unless you pause. The only downside? The Wi‑Fi can be a bit sluggish in the afternoon when everyone’s streaming. But for most travelers, a few hours of buffering is a minor inconvenience.

Noise-wise, Apartament Olszynka is pretty quiet, except for the occasional passing boat on the canal. If you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs for late evenings. The building itself is an older brick structure, so the walls absorb sounds well—there’s no echo from the street. Parking is a bit of a hunt; there’s a small paid lot just behind the building, but you can also find street parking on Gdańsk Canal Street, though you’ll have to watch for the hourly meter. The best part is the proximity to the city’s hidden gems: a short 10‑minute walk takes you to the bustling fish market, and a quick tram ride gets you to the Royal Castle. In the summer, the canal area gets bustling with tourists, but if you time your stay right, you can catch the quieter, more relaxed evening strolls by the water. I’d say it’s a solid 4‑star spot that’s earned its 9.9 rating from the locals and myself—fun, comfortable, and just a stone’s throw from all the action. If you’re looking to stay in a place that feels like a home base in Gdańsk, Apartament Olszynka is definitely worth a check.

  • Sandrine from France – 3 May 2025 (9/10)

    L appartement est au 1er étage d une maison individuelle. C'est très agréable d y séjourner. C'est très propre et fonctionnel. Bien équipé. Le cadre est très beau, pas loin de la mer Baltique… J y retournerai si je dois revenir à Gdansk

    What could be improved: Pour information,A savoir, à 20mn en voiture du centre de Gdansk. Ce n est pas gênant

    Tolle Hausbesitzer, super cooles Haus für viele Familienmitglieder. Gute Ausstattung für Zeitverweihlen im Haus.

  • Rafał from Poland – 15 September 2023 (10/10)

    Bardzo przestronny Apartament, dla naszej ekipy 4 dorosłych + 4 dzieci miejsca aż nadto. Apartament ma na wyposażeniu wszystko co potrzebne podczas pobytu z dziećmi, a nawet i więcej. W łazience stołek, wanienka, nocnik. W kuchni kolorowe plastikowe talerzyki, miseczki, kubeczki.
    W ogrodzie huśtawki, zjeżdżalnia, zabawki, więc dzieciaki zadowolone spędzały tam sporo czasu.
    Bardzo dobre miejsce na pobyt nad morzem, apartament znajduje się w spokojnej okolicy, niedaleko wejście na plażę, restauracje, budki z lodami i goframi. Polecam wszystkim.

  • Marta from Poland – 14 September 2023 (10/10)

    Apartament zadbany, bardzo czysty, świetnie wyposażony. Właściciele przecudowni! Mili i pomocni. Okolica przepiękna, odległość do plaży/sklepów w sam raz. Gorąco polecam!
