Apartament Targ Rybny – Gdańsk Old Town

Apartament Targ Rybny – Gdańsk Old Town Overview

Apartament Targ Rybny – Gdańsk Old Town is the sort of spot that instantly feels like a local’s hideaway, not a tourist trap. I arrived around 3 p.m. on a breezy spring afternoon, and the front desk was a quick, almost silent handshake – no long line, no endless paperwork. The staff were friendly, but not overbearing, which honestly made the whole check‑in feel more like stepping into a friend’s apartment than a hotel lobby. The building itself is a charming two‑storey brick structure that blends perfectly with the surrounding Old Town architecture; the cobblestones on Targ Rybny Road give you that old‑world feel as soon as you step out of the elevator.

The apartment space is surprisingly roomy. The living area is bright, with large windows that let in the morning sun and the occasional distant chime from St. Mary’s bell tower. The décor is a tasteful mix of contemporary and vintage—think reclaimed wood tables, hand‑painted ceramic tiles that echo the city’s maritime history. The bed comes with a high‑quality mattress that feels like a cloud, and the linens are crisp, not too crisp, which is just right for a summer night. The bathroom is modern, with a deep soaking tub that looks out over a small balcony. I fell in love with the little touches: a local artist’s print on the wall, a set of antique silver spoons that double as a coaster set. And the kitchen? It’s fully equipped, with a small espresso machine that whirs to life before you even think about coffee. I spent a few mornings brewing a shot, listening to the gentle hum of the city, and enjoying the scent of fresh bread from the bakery on Głogowska Street that opens just a block away.

When it comes to the surroundings, this place is a goldmine for anyone who loves authenticity. Just a two‑minute walk brings you to the bustling market at Złota Street, where vendors sell everything from artisanal pierogi to hand‑ripped amber. If you’re craving a bite, the tiny café on St. George’s Square serves the best espresso in town—just trust me on that. The Motława River is a short stroll away, and on a sunny day you can watch the boats glide by, the water reflecting the sky. For a quieter evening, the apartment’s noise level is pretty decent; the only thing that might rattle the walls is the occasional honk from a delivery truck on the main street, which is pretty normal in a city that’s always alive. Parking is a bit of a dance, honestly. There’s a small municipal lot a few blocks away, but it fills up fast during peak season, so I’d suggest either using a bike rack (the city has plenty of them) or arranging a taxi if you’re carrying a lot of luggage.

The best time to visit, from a local’s perspective, is late September to early October. By then, the crowds thin out, the air is crisp, and the city’s festivals are still in full swing—think the Gdańsk International Film Festival or the historic Christmas market, depending on the season. If you’re a night owl, you’ll find that the streets around the hotel calm down after 10 p.m., making it easy to wind down after a day of exploring. I left with a feeling of having truly been there, not just seen. Apartament Targ Rybny – Gdańsk Old Town is a place that gives you a sense of belonging in the heart of the city, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to soak up Gdańsk’s charm without the usual tourist noise.

Hotel in Gdansk booking should be done early, especially during summer festivals when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and maritime events.
