Apartament Żabcia – przy SKM Żabianka koło Sopotu Overview

Apartament Żabcia – przy SKM Żabianka koło Sopotu sits on Subisława 23A, a quiet corner that feels like a hidden gem, yet you’re only a tram hop away from Gdańsk’s bustling market square and the sandy stretch of Sopot. I there on a crisp Saturday morning, the sky the color of fresh‑tinted glass, and the first thing that struck me was the of freshly baked pierogi drifting from a nearby bakery on Stary Rynek street—it’s that kind of scent that says you’re in the right place, even before you see the hotel. The building itself is a modest four‑star slice of charm, with a small balcony that offers a view of the city’s rooftops and a gentle sea breeze that lingers all day. The check‑in was surprisingly smooth; the staff greeted me with a wry smile and handed over a map of the area, pointing out the best spots for a quick coffee at Caffè Słoneczny on Ulica Miodowa and the best off‑the‑beaten‑path café on Róża street.

I stayed in a double room with a balcony that opens onto Subisława’s quiet side street—it’s not the most glamorous view, but the wall of old brick and the distant hum of the tram line give it a laid‑back vibe. Honestly, the room was spotlessly clean; the linens were thicker than you’d expect from a place that’s only a few minutes from the city center. The bathroom had a rain shower that’s surprisingly powerful, and the little touches—like a small jar of local honey and a handwritten note in Polish—made it feel like a local friend’s home. Noise was minimal; the only sounds were the occasional chatter of tourists at the nearby park and the distant clatter of trains. Parking was a bit of a hunt—you’d need to head to the municipal lot on Miejska Street, which is a 5‑minute walk, but the price was reasonable, and I did get a free parking sticker for the week. You know what I’d say: if you’re traveling solo or in a couple, this place is a sweet spot that lets you feel at home while still being close to everything.

After a day of exploring the old port and sampling the fresh cod at a tiny fish market on Gdańsk’s old harbor, I returned to the apartment for a quiet night in. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped; I managed to whip up a simple pasta with olives and a splash of olive oil. The sound of the city outside was like a soft lullaby—trams rumbling past, a distant choir of gulls, and the subtle scent of sea that never quite fades. The 4‑star rating of 9.7 on the travel site? It feels earned, especially when you take into account the staff’s warmth, the thoughtful extras, and the fact that the apartment is just a stone’s throw from the train station that runs to Sopot, allowing for a quick beach escape. On the quieter nights, you can almost hear the waves against the pier in the distance, making it a perfect spot for reflective evenings. Overall, Apartament Żabcia isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a small slice of Gdańsk that feels lived‑in, genuinely welcoming, and just the right mix of comfort and local flavor for anyone looking to soak in the city without the tourist throng.
