Apartamenty Gdansk EU – Waterlane – Apartament Marina – Old Town Overview

I first bumped into Apartamenty Gdansk EU – Waterlane – Apartament Marina – Old Town as I was strolling along the Motława River, the kind of early‑morning walk where the city still smells like wet stone and distant coffee. The building itself is this sleek, almost glass‑wrapped thing that sits right next to the old wooden pier, so you’re literally next to the water as soon as you step out of the lobby. The check‑in was quick – the desk guy, a friendly Polak named Marek, had a tablet in hand, scanning the key card, and already dropped a small booklet on the counter with a street map that had a few hand‑drawn notes: “Try the pier café at 9, it’s a secret.” He didn’t bother with any of the usual “Welcome to our resort” spiel, which felt a lot more real.

The street is a narrow maze of cobblestones, and you can feel the hum of the harbor in the background. You know what they mean by “quiet” here? It’s quiet only after the early‑morning rush; by 10 a.m., the cafés on Dluga Street spill out, and the whole area comes alive. If you’re a night owl, the noise from the street cafés starts to bleed into the rooms, but it’s still manageable – the curtains are thick enough to keep the city lights at bay. Parking is the only worrisome bit: there’s no dedicated parking, so you’ll have to crawl onto the street behind the building. It’s free, but the spots are small – you’ll need to be quick if you’re not a local.

I took the elevator up to the second floor, and the view was already a slice of Gdańsk that I’d never seen before – the Crane, St. Mary’s Church, and the old town walls all framed by the sky. The lobby smelled faintly of fresh coffee and the smell of the sea, a mix that made me feel like I’d just stepped into a postcard. The staff was not just helpful; they were genuinely interested in making sure I knew where to go for the best pier lunch. They even wrote my name in the guestbook with a smiley face. Honestly, that little gesture made the whole stay feel less like a transaction and more like a friendly chat.

The room itself was the kind of place that feels like a home away from home. The bed was a king‑size thing with a duvet that was so fluffy it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The décor was modern but not sterile; there were a few local art pieces hanging on the walls that gave a touch of the city’s vibe. The bathroom had a rainfall shower that, at first, was a bit too strong, but the water temperature adjusted quickly, and the tiles were the same cool gray as the harbor stones outside. I liked that the window framed a view of the pier – the water rippling under the dock, the gulls circling overhead. The only downside was that the air conditioner was a bit noisy, but it was a small trade‑off for the view.

If you’re planning a trip and want to be close to the heart of Gdańsk, Apartamenty Gdansk EU – Waterlane – Apartament Marina – Old Town is a solid choice. The price is reasonable for a 4‑star place, and the rating of 8.9 on travel sites is spot on – it’s not a luxury palace, but it’s a place that respects the city’s culture and history. You’ll find that the staff’s insistence on showing you local spots (like the small bakery on Staszic Street that sells the best pierogi) is a real bonus. The only thing you might want to check is the parking situation and maybe
