Apartament Szafarnia Gdańsk

Apartament Szafarnia Gdańsk Overview

Apartament Szafarnia Gdańsk sits on 7 Szafarnia, just a stone‑throw from the bustling Motława River and the historic Old Town. Walking out of the building, you’re greeted by the scent of freshly baked rye bread from a nearby bakery and the distant hum of trams that snake along Gdańska Street. The first thing I noticed about the place is how the rooms feel like a home away from home – the linens are crisp, the beds are surprisingly plush after a long flight, and the small living areas have a relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay a bit longer. I mean, the décor is a sweet mix of modern comfort and subtle Polish touches, like the hand‑painted azulejos on the walls that echo the old city’s ceramics. The check‑in process was smooth; the staff greeted us with a warm smile and handed us the key card in a tiny, neat packet that even had a little note about the best local pierogi spots. Parking is a bit of a hassle – there’s a paid garage a block away, but street parking is scarce, so you’ll usually have to hop on the tram or a local taxi. But honestly, the tram ride itself is a mini‑tour; you can see the old city wall and the cathedral as you glide past.

When you’re ready to unwind, head to the rooftop terrace – it’s a hidden gem that offers a 360° view of the city’s skyline at sunset. The noise levels are surprisingly low, even during the busy summer months, because the building’s walls are thick and the courtyard is lined with mature oaks that act like a natural sound barrier. The Wi‑Fi is decent, though the signal can dip a bit when you’re on the terrace; a quick tap on the Wi‑Fi icon usually brings it back. Breakfast is a bit limited – only a few pastries, a selection of cheeses, and a strong Polish coffee that will kick your day into high gear. But if you’re looking for a quick bite, there’s a small café on the ground floor that serves excellent egg‑and‑cheese sandwiches. If you’re traveling during the Christmas season, the street lights and the festive market at Motława can be quite a sensory overload, but the hotel’s quiet rooms are a refuge from the bustle. In the quieter winter mornings, the only sounds you’ll hear are the distant church bells and the faint creak of the wooden floorboards, a reminder that you’re in a place that’s lived through centuries. Apartament Szafarnia Gdańsk is a place that feels like a secret whispered to you by the city itself, and if you’re looking for genuine warmth and a touch of local charm, this is the spot that will keep you coming back.
