Apartment 111 Shipyard near OldTown

Apartment 111 Shipyard near OldTown Overview

I first stumbled into Apartment 111 Shipyard near OldTown on a drizzly Tuesday afternoon, the kind of day that makes you appreciate the little warmth of a good room. The check‑in was quick – the host, a sprightly woman named Marta, greeted me with a smile that felt like a secret handshake at a local club. She didn’t just hand over a key; she tossed me a map of the area, pointing out that the best coffee isn’t on the main street but tucked away on Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki, right where the hotel sits.
Honestly, the first thing you notice is the sea breeze that sneaks through the curtains. I mean, you can almost taste the salty tang on your skin if you’re lucky. It’s not a full-on harbor noise, but the occasional gull cry and the distant rumble of a cargo ship add a soundtrack that makes staying here feel like a living postcard. Parking is a bit of a treasure hunt – there’s a small lot behind the building, but you’ll need to circle the block a couple of times to find a spot; the locals know the shortcut, but for first‑timer travelers it’s a tad confusing.

After settling in, I took a stroll along the cobblestones that line the old shipyard streets, passing the quirky art installation on Gdańsk’s historic dock, then ducked into a tiny bakery that serves the fluffiest pierogis you’ll ever taste. The apartment itself is a cosy 55‑square‑meter space, with an open plan that feels spacious because of clever use of light. The kitchenette is functional, not fancy – but you can whip up a quick breakfast before heading out, and the sink is surprisingly quiet. The bathroom, with its deep soaking tub, lets you unwind with the view of the city’s skyline at dusk.

I slept well, not a single buzz from the nearby harbor keeping me awake. The only critique? The Wi‑Fi drops out during the night shift at the shipyard, so if you’re a digital nomad, you’ll need to plan around that. But that’s the kind of honest detail that turns a stay into a real experience. I left the place feeling refreshed, with a few postcards in my memory that I’ll share with friends who love the buzz of a city that’s still holding on to its maritime roots. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a hidden gem rather than a hotel, Apartment 111 Shipyard near OldTown is the spot that makes you want to come back next season, just to hear the sea sing a different song.

Hotels near me in Gdansk offer convenient access to the old town, where guests can easily walk to Neptune’s Fountain, St. Mary’s Church, and the famous Long Market.
