Apartament Plaza48

Apartament Plaza48 Overview

Apartament Plaza48 sits tucked on ul. Walecznych 14/29 in Brzezno, a quieter slice of Gdańsk that feels like a secret garden just a stone’s throw from the bustling port. I first found it on a rainy Thursday, the kind of day when the city’s cobblestones glisten and the sea smells faintly of salt and fish. The building itself is a modern block of glass and steel, but the lobby feels more like a cozy living room than a corporate hotel. The staff—two young people who know the area like the back of their hand—were instantly friendly, and their check‑in process was a breeze; just a quick scan of your ID and a keycard, no long queue or endless paperwork. They even offered a complimentary bottle of local cider, which I tucked into my bag for the next morning.

The rooms are spacious and surprisingly quiet, even though you’re only a few blocks from the harbor. The windows frame a view of the marina, where sailboats bob lazily in the water and the distant silhouette of the Gdańsk Shipyard looms. Inside, the décor is clean and minimalistic, with a touch of Scandinavian flair that makes the place feel airy and uncluttered. I loved the soft, breathable linens and the surprisingly quiet night—just the hum of the fridge and the faint sea breeze wafting through the slightly ajar window. The bathroom is a highlight: a deep soaking tub that feels like a personal spa, and the shower has a powerful, steady spray that makes you forget any worries. The only critique? The Wi‑Fi can be spotty in the mornings, so if you need a steady connection for work, you might want to grab a coffee at the nearby Apartament Plaza48 café and work from there.

Parking is a real plus; there’s a dedicated lot right behind the building that’s free for guests, which is a lifesaver if you’re driving into Gdańsk. It’s close enough that you can drop your bags in the lobby and stroll over to the street without having to navigate the city’s narrow lanes. And speaking of streets, the next block is ul. 1 Maja, where you’ll find a handful of local bakeries that sell the best pierogi—tender, slightly sweet, and the perfect snack for a quick lunch. A short walk north takes you to the Gdańsk Old Town, but I prefer the quieter, less touristy route along the waterfront, where you can hear the gulls and feel the salty wind. The noise level at night is generally low, though there is a faint hum from the harbor traffic that can be soothing if you’re a fan of ocean sounds. The hotel’s proximity to the airport is actually a plus; you’re only about a 20‑minute drive from the terminal, so early flights or late arrivals are less stressful.

The overall vibe of Apartament Plaza48 is genuinely welcoming, like staying in a friend’s apartment that’s been thoughtfully curated. The staff are always ready to recommend hidden gems—like the little jazz bar on ul. Piaskowa or the art gallery that opens every Friday. The breakfast on the terrace is simple but delicious: fresh fruit, local cheeses, and a selection of teas that smell like chamomile and mint. Honestly, the best part of staying here is the sense of belonging; you’re not just a tourist, you’re part of the community. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, especially during the busy summer season, this place offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and local flavor. And if you’re visiting in the off‑peak months, you’ll find it even more peaceful, with early morning joggers on the promenade and the harbor still in a quiet, almost meditative state. All in all, Apartament Plaza48 is a gem that feels like home, right in the heart of the city’s hidden charm.

• Eva from Czech Republic – 6 August 2024 (10/10)

  Paní, která nám předávala ubytování byla velmi milá, komunikovala s námi ještě před příjezdem a taky po odjezdu. Měli jsme parkovací místo, ubytování blízko moře, kousek jsme měli i obchody a restaurace. V apartmánu byla příjemná teplota, všechny okna měly rolety. Jsme moc spokojení ❤️

  Świetny kontakt z właścicielką, czystość, przydatne wskazówki o okolicy od właścicielki.

• Friedel from Germany – 24 July 2023 (9/10)

  Sehr saubere Wohnung, alles Notwendige weitestgehend vorhanden. Sehr nette Vermieterin, die immer erreichbar war und sehr hilfsbereit (wir haben auf Anfrage extra Geschirr, Besteck und auch einen größeren Topf bekommen; wir waren mit 5 Personen vor Ort)
  
  What could be improved: Leider gibt es keine Spülmaschine und (das ist wirklich meckern auf (sehr) hohem Niveau): die Wohnung liegt im 4. Stock ohne Fahrstuhl – uns war das bei der Buchung nicht bewusst und bei fußlahmen Kindern kann der „Aufstieg“ manchmal sehr beschwerlich sein.

• Łukasz from Poland – 30 June 2023 (10/10)

  Bardzo dobry kontakt z zarządcą mieszkania.
  
  What could be improved: Jeśli coś na siłę mam szukać…to nie podobało mi się spojrzenie mew siedzących na dachu.

• Michał from Poland – 12 September 2022 (9/10)

  Bardzo wygodna lokalizacja. Tuż obok plaży i tramwaju do dworca. W niewielkiej odległości sklepy i możliwość zjedzenia. Może przydałaby się jeszcze w kuchni jakaś prosta mikrofalówka, ale piekarnik też dobrze służy przy podgrzewaniu. Dla nas to nie był problem, ale mało mobilne, czy starsze osoby powinny brać pod uwagę brak windy.
  Właścicielka bardzo miła, a spanie wygodne.

• Asta from Lithuania – 9 July 2022 (9/10)
