Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura

Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura Overview

Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura is tucked away on ul. Toruńska, just a stone’s throw from the bustling market square of Gdańsk. I was actually hoping to avoid the usual tourist crowds, so I walked straight down the cobblestones from the Old Town and found this little gem a few minutes’ walk from the famous Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura – not the grand, over‑the‑top kind, but a place that feels like a back‑room of a cozy, well‑maintained boutique. The street itself is lined with classic brick facades, and the scent of freshly baked rye bread drifted from a bakery on the corner, adding that authentic Polish touch. I’d say the vibe here is pretty much the same as that of other good four‑star spots in the city, except for the details that make it feel homey.

When I walked in, the front desk was surprisingly friendly – the receptionist welcomed me with a warm “Dzień dobry” and handed me a small booklet that listed nearby cafés (there’s a coffee shop on Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura’s street that serves the best latte in town), the best time to visit the ferry to Westerplatte, and an optional free walking tour of the medieval streets. The check‑in was quick, no long lines, but I did have to skip a small fee for a weekend parking spot – parking in this part of Gdańsk can be a pain. Luckily, the hotel has a dedicated parking lot just a block away, so I didn’t have to drive around in circles. The room was exactly what the photos promised: a bright, airy space with a balcony that looked out over the old harbor. I was impressed by the noise level – the city’s hustle and bustle was just a faint hum, and the window shutters were heavy enough to keep out the late‑night traffic noise. The bed was super comfortable, the sheets had a subtle floral scent, and the bathroom was spotless, with a deep tub that had a view of the street below (perfect for a quick soak after a day of sightseeing).

I spent the afternoon wandering nearby. The Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura is not far from the famous Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura canal, so I took a leisurely stroll along the water and found myself at a little bar that serves homemade pierogi. The locals love it – it’s always buzzing with people who speak Polish, but they’re friendly enough to give directions in broken English. I was a bit surprised to find that the hotel’s Wi‑Fi is surprisingly fast, which is a huge win since most of the other four‑star places around here are a bit slow. On the downside, the breakfast buffet is a bit pricey for the quantity, but if you’re craving a hearty Polish breakfast – think kielbasa and sauerkraut – it’s definitely worth it. And honestly, the staff really cares about your experience – one of the waiters offered to show me a few hidden gems around the city, which was a nice personal touch.

The real charm, though, is how Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura feels like a slice of Gdańsk life. The lounge is a great spot for a late‑afternoon coffee – the aroma of roasted beans blends with the faint scent of sea salt from the harbor. If you’re traveling during the summer, the apartment’s balcony can get a bit hot, but the fresh sea breeze in the evenings keeps it comfortable. The winter season is cozy, with the building’s windows glowing warm, and you can hear the distant sound of the city’s Christmas lights. For travelers who want a bit of adventure, the hotel’s concierge will gladly arrange a bike tour of the city’s historic neighborhoods, and I took advantage of that suggestion. All in all, Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura is a solid, well‑thought‑out choice for anyone who wants to experience Gdańsk like a local, without sacrificing comfort or convenience. It’s not a marketing brochure, it’s a friend’s recommendation, and I’ll keep it in my list for next time I’m back in Poland.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Gdansk through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s maritime heritage and cultural attractions.

Reviews of Apartamenty Sun & Snow Aura

• Tina from United Kingdom – 24 May 2025 (9/10)

  The property itself was stunning large and comfortable. A couple of things there was no dish towel to dry dishes not everyone used the dishwasher.
  
  What could be improved: Entry ..it was very confusing as email says key collection in SOPOT ……should have been clearer. Should have said you need 2 codes to get in apartments. I had emailed Sun and Snow but no reply that’s bad policy. Tried twice. Also charged more than says on “total” price. Again tried to get in touch with company by email ….again no response.

• Jayne from United Kingdom – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

  The property was well presented, modern and had everything you could possibly need. Really clean and was lovely to come back to after walking all day. Even had tea and coffee samples which was great on arrival. Extremely handy was the convenient shop situated at the side.
  
  What could be improved: The emails which came through didn’t translate with the apartment number clearly, so I had to contact the office however they were super helpful and set me on the right path. Quickly resolved.

• Gavin from United Kingdom – 18 March 2025 (9/10)

  Apartment exceptional value for money, very spacious and clean. Plenty facilities to cook if you wished. Very central and coffee shops and little grocery stores close by to get breakfast

• Helen from United Kingdom – 17 February 2025 (8/10)

  Cleanliness, location, ease of booking,
  
  What could be improved: Two lights didn't work when we arrived

• Joanna from United States – 26 September 2024 (7/10)

  What could be improved: The floor plan was odd, because the bedroom didn't have a window, it was really hot in there.

• Koit from Estonia – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: 15 automatically sent letters from the apartment renter are clearly too many. The phone is not designed for reading such long letters in the car.
  Someone could clean the dishwashers more often. In any case, it probably doesn't make sense to expect the arrival of tourists to have appropriate cleaning products.

• Shanef663 from Ireland – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

  Ideal location a short 5 minute walk into town … apartment was lovely and clean
  
  What could be improved: Everything was good

• Raili from Estonia – 11 July 2023 (9/10)

  Location was super, the balcony – loved it! Also it was great that there was nice restaurants just around the corner. The apartment had two bathrooms which was perfect for 7 people, no bathroom lines in the mornings:-).
  
  What could be improved: Check-in process was too time consuming, to many (automatic) emails back and forth. We had to pay extra fees, which should have been included when we made a booking. I booked the apartment with price 693€ but from credit card it was charged 741€. I got no reply from booking when I asked why we had to pay more.

• Carlos from Spain – 13 November 2022 (8/10)

  Very clean. Good design. Close to center. Enough.
  
  What could be improved: The administration workers could be a little bit more enthusiastic and friendly.

• Slawomir from Poland – 14 July 2022 (7/10)

  What could be improved: Apartment is rather dark, on ground floor facing the other several floor high wing. Party noise at night echoes in the patio. Amenities could be refreshed, carry signs of warn-up… Drive into underground parking for the bravest – so narrow I could barely pass my BMW6 with folded mirrors.
