Apartament Świętojańska

Apartament Świętojańska Overview

Apartament Świętojańska sits right on the cobblestones of Świętojańska 66, and honestly, you can feel the heart of Gdańsk pulsing through the windows. I first stepped into the lobby on a rainy Thursday, and the scent of fresh coffee and baked rye bread wafted out of the tiny café on the ground floor, a secret spot that locals swear by before heading to the market on St. Mariacka. The check‑in was quick but personal – the front desk manager, a cheerful woman named Ewa, gave me a handwritten list of nearby coffee shops and told me the best time to visit the old port to avoid the Sunday crowds. Parking is a bit of a gamble – there’s a small paid lot behind the building, but you’ll need to pull a little early to snag a spot, especially during the summer when the streets are full of scooters and the Christmas market stalls pop up.

Walking outside, the street buzzes with the clatter of tram wheels and the distant call of fishermen on the Motława River. I mean, you really can hear the sea in the summer evenings, and by night the streetlights reflect off the old brick facades, creating a warm glow that feels like a hug. Inside, the rooms are a blend of modern polish and. The beds are huge and come with a surprisingly good mattress, which is a lifesaver after a day of wandering through the old town. The bathroom has that classic Polish tile pattern that feels like a nostalgic postcard, and the shower spray is strong enough to wash away the salt from the sea. I did notice that the window in the bedroom is a bit drafty in the winter, but the heating is efficient enough to keep the room cozy. Noise from the street is minimal after 10 p.m., which is a relief if you’re trying to catch some sleep after a night of pierogi tasting.

If you’re looking for a place that feels like a home base rather than a hotel, Apartament Świętojańska delivers. The staff are genuinely friendly – I asked for a recommendation on a good pierogi shop, and they sent me a map with a note that said, “Kaczka i pierogi to must‑try, but avoid the ones near the bakery, they’re always empty.” It’s these little insider tips that make staying here feel personal. The breakfast is a mix of local pastries and English‑style options; I loved the freshly baked pączki that had a hint of cinnamon and a sweet, soft crust. For the quieter parts of the day, you can sit on the balcony and listen to the city’s rhythm, a perfect break from the bustling streets below. All in all, Apartament Świętojańska is a gem that blends convenience with authenticity, letting you experience Gdańsk just like a local would.
