Apartament Tamara

Apartament Tamara Overview

When I first stepped out of the station, the smell of fresh pierogi wafted in from the corner bakery on Ulica Żebrowska, and I knew I was in the right part of Gdańsk. The walk to Apartament Tamara was just a few blocks—about a 15‑minute stroll past the old town’s cobblestone squares and the bustling market stalls on Stary Rynek—so I could actually feel the city’s pulse before even checking in. The front desk was a warm, slightly quirky duo who greeted me with a firm “Cześć!” and a quick, “Your room’s ready, but you can take a moment to relax in the lobby while we pull up the key.” They handed me a keycard that worked like a charm, and the check‑in was so breezy it felt like they were just letting a friend in. I had a little bit of a glitch with the Wi‑Fi password, though—had to call the front desk again after a quick search—but they fixed it within a minute, and the signal was solid for the rest of my stay.

The room itself was a clean, bright space that felt more like a stylish studio than a hotel room, which made it perfect for the sort of solo traveler who wants a mix of comfort and local vibe. The bed was a surprisingly firm mattress with a duvet that smelled faintly of the sea, implying that the laundry is done with a marine‑inspired detergent or maybe a local laundromat with a crisp scent. The ensuite shower had a generous water pressure, and the tiles are a cool gray that gives off a subtle, almost Zen quality. I did notice that the bathroom mirror is slightly foggy in the mornings—no biggie, but you might want to bring a small towel to wipe it down. The room’s window opens onto a quiet side street (Łąkowa 01) that’s quiet enough to hear the distant gulls but still close enough to feel the city’s hum. I found the noise level to be pretty low, even during the early evening rush when the cafés on Gdańsk’s Górczańska street start to fill up; you can almost hear the chatter of locals sipping coffee and the occasional clink of a glass.

Parking was a bit of a hidden gem. The hotel offers underground parking right next to the building, but it’s not a lot of space, so you have to be quick during peak hours—especially if you’re planning to hit the nightlife on the waterfront. I parked my bike in the secure area outside the front door, which is handy if you’re exploring the old town on two wheels. The only small critique I have is that the elevator tends to be a tad slow during the morning rush, but the stairs are in good condition and you can get a nice workout while you’re at it. I also found that the breakfast area, though small, is surprisingly efficient; they serve a good mix of Polish pastries and some continental options. The coffee is strong, which is exactly what you need after a long flight, and they have a small selection of local teas that you won’t find in most hotels. If you’re a foodie, you’ll appreciate that the hotel’s own café has a rotating selection of local cheeses and a small but tasty charcuterie board that feels like a mini‑tour of Polish flavors.

Overall, Apartament Tamara feels like a solid, comfortable base for anyone wanting to experience Gdańsk’s pulse without getting lost in a generic chain hotel. The rating of 9.6 on travel sites isn’t just a number—it’s a reflection of the little touches that make a stay memorable: friendly staff, a comfortable room that feels like a home, and a location that’s close enough to the main attractions yet far enough away to keep the noise down. If you’re planning a trip, I’d say book a stay here and let the city’s rhythm seep into your visit. You’ll be back to tell your friends about the local bakery on Żebrowska, the quiet side street at Łąkowa, and that surprisingly cozy room with a touch of maritime scent. The experience is genuinely authentic, and the vibe is anything but generic.

  Apartament Tamara 10/10. Wszystko co potrzebne jest zapewnione. Dużym plusem jest bezpłatny parking. Kontakt z właścicielem bardzo szybki i miły. Dobra lokalizacja, cisza, spokój i wszedzie blisko.
  Idealnie byłoby gdyby w apartamencie znajdowal sie parawan na plażę dla gości. Polecam, na pewno wrócimy.

• Dominika from Poland – 27 August 2024 (10/10)

  Obiekt bardzo dobrze wyposażony(nie spotkałam się wcześniej z tak bogatym wyposażeniem obiektu na wynajem), czysty i przestronny. Mimo bliskiej odległości do centrum okolica jest cicha i spokojna.

• Tamás from Hungary – 18 August 2024 (10/10)

  A perfect and well equipped small flat ideal for two people. The kitchen has everything you need, dishwasher, oven, induction cooktop, microwave, coffe maker, fridge and freezer, so if you want to cook, you can.
  For my fellow men: fast internet (around 40 MByte/sec download), 43" 4K HDR TV, small shop 30 meter with cold beer.
  Location is fantastic, around 5-10 minutes walk to the downtown (you don't need to go with car), flat is located in a new resindental area. Also the flat has a parking space in the garage, which is super helpful in Gdasnk.
  
  What could be improved: There is gap under the front door, some noise can come in (as well as the light from the stairway at night). It is not a big problem, but it should be handled.

• Stanislav from Czech Republic – 19 July 2024 (9/10)

  Blízko byl obchod .Klidné místo v novém koplexu .Partnerce se líbila velká vana .A také blízko do centra a podzemní garáž .Pokud bychom ještě jednou přijely ano vybral bych si tohle .Ale když bude větší postel a dvě peřiny .Jinak super
  
  What could be improved: Jen jedna věc Postel byla pro dva dospělí malá . A taky jen jedna velká peřina .

• Martina from Czech Republic – 9 June 2024 (10/10)

  Krásný a moderně zařízený byt se vším potřebným , klid. Parkování v podzemní garáži. Apartman se nachází v nově budovaném komplexu. Výhodou byla blízkost přístavu a dalších zajímavostí Gdaňsku.

• Zuzanna from Poland – 6 June 2024 (9/10)

  Bardzo duża ilość udogodnień, szybki kontakt z właścicielką, zachowany porządek – wszystko na plus
