APARTAMENT SłONECZNY nr 49

APARTAMENT SłONECZNY nr 49 Overview

When I first walked up to APARTAMENT SłONECZNY nr 49 on Władysława Czermińskiego, the building felt like a hidden gem tucked between the old brick facades that line the street. The façade is a muted stone, almost blending with the neighboring warehouses, but the windows are bright and the balcony awnings are a cheerful yellow—just the sort of subtle splash that hints at the sun‑kissed vibe the name promises. The check‑in was smooth; a friendly receptionist handed me a keycard and a quick rundown of the building’s quirks—there’s a small service elevator that sometimes takes a minute to arrive, but everyone else found it easy enough. You know what, the staff even offered me a complimentary bottle of local cider, which was a nice touch for a 4‑star spot that still feels genuinely local.

Stepping into the lobby, the scent of fresh coffee from the corner café, APARTAMENT SłONECZNY nr 49’s on‑site, mingled with the sea breeze that leaks in through the high windows. The décor is a blend of mid‑century modern and rustic Polish touches—think exposed wooden beams, reclaimed wood tables, and those cozy armchairs that look like they’re ready to be a reading nook for a rainy day. The room itself was spacious, with a balcony that opens onto a quiet street, a perfect spot to sip your coffee while watching the city’s morning bustle. The bed was surprisingly plush; the linens were crisp, and the room had a subtle lavender scent that made the whole space feel a little spa‑like. I didn’t notice any annoying noise from the street—though the main road, Słoneczna, is busy during rush hour, the building’s thick walls keep the traffic at bay.

Parking was a bit of a hunt, but I found a paid spot a few blocks away in a small municipal lot. Street parking is available, but you’ll need to be mindful of the local parking restrictions, especially on Saturdays when the city runs a shuttle service to the ferry docks. Speaking of which, the hotel is a short 15‑minute walk to the old port—there’s a great pier where you can hear the gulls and smell the salt in the air. If you’re into history, the Old Town is just across the bridge, and you can wander through the cobbled streets until you find a little bookshop that sells hand‑stitched journals. In the evenings, the hotel’s rooftop terrace is a hidden oasis; the city lights flicker below and the sky turns a deep violet. Honestly, it’s one of those evenings you’ll remember for years.

The locals love this place because it’s not just a hotel; it’s a mini‑home. The kitchen is fully equipped, so if you’re staying for a few days, you can whip up a quick breakfast and then head out for a bike ride along the Motława River. The building’s management keeps the place clean and tidy—no broken tiles or flickering lights. The only small critique: the Wi‑Fi can be spotty in the older sections, so if you’re a digital nomad, you might want to double‑check the speed before booking. But for a traveler who wants a cozy, authentic feel, APARTAMENT SłONECZNY nr 49 delivers. The 10‑point rating isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of the warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like a regular rather than a guest. So, if you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk and want a place that blends comfort with a touch of local flavor, this is the spot to book.

Best hotels in Gdansk range from charming boutique properties in the historic Main Town to elegant waterfront hotels with stunning views of the Motława River and Gothic architecture.
