Apartments Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA

Apartments Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA Overview

Apartment Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA sits right on 63 Chmielna, so you’re literally steps from the old town’s cobblestones and the gentle hum of the Motława River. I parked my car in the underground lot – no long wait, just a quick 20‑second walk into the lobby, which was already buzzing with the scent of freshly baked rye bread from the bakery on the corner of Piotrkowska. The check‑in was a breeze: the front desk clerk, who’s been in the job for a decade, remembered my name and handed me a keycard with a smile that felt less like a transaction and more like a welcome home.

Walking from the lobby, the hallway opens onto a bright communal lounge with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the city’s skyline. The noise level is surprisingly low – you can hear the distant clink of plates in the restaurant downstairs, but nothing that rattles your sleep. The pool area is a hidden gem; it’s a salt‑water oasis with a small jacuzzi that bubbles quietly, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the medieval lanes of Gdańsk. I swear the water has a slightly mineral taste – like the sea but more refined. The gym is compact but well‑equipped, and the spa corner offers a massage room with aromatic oils that linger on the skin long after the session ends.

One thing I love about Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA is how it feels like a secret spot the locals keep. The breakfast spread is a local favorite: think boiled potatoes, smoked fish, and a whole plate of pierogi that taste like grandma’s kitchen. I stayed for the afternoon and noticed the quiet, which is a rare find in a city that’s usually buzzing with tourists, especially during the summer. If you’re planning a visit in July or August, be ready for a bit of a crowd at the pool – the water is a magnet for everyone in town. Winter, on the other hand, is a peaceful, almost mystical time; the lobby lights cast a soft glow, and you can hear the faint sound of a church bell echoing from St. Mary’s Basilica across the river. Parking is convenient, and the staff is genuinely friendly – they’ll recommend the best pier for sunset if you’re looking for a romantic spot. All in all, it’s a place that feels like a slice of Gdańsk you can breathe in, relax, and truly enjoy the city’s rhythm without the usual tourist chatter.

  What could be improved: Very loud from neighbors apartment between 22pm and 2 am. Overcrowded swimming pool.

• Tay from United Kingdom – 27 April 2023 (6/10)

  The rooms were nice and spacious for a couple & close to the town centre.
  
  What could be improved: The Spa was okay, however- this was listed as an adults only property & at the spa one of the evenings, a school trip arrived and totally ruined the atmosphere of the spa & there was no relaxation to be had & this was especially frustrating when it said adults only. The staff at the actual building were more like security & couldn’t tell us anything about the spa or room etc- Towels were an extra 70PLN per person, and I don’t think this is right especially when we’re staying for 3 nights and using the facilities. The ‘gym’ was 2 treadmills and a step machine? No weights or anything else (not really a gym).

• Miłosz from United Kingdom – 9 October 2022 (7/10)

• Karol from Ireland – 13 July 2022 (9/10)

  The location was convenient. Close to all amenities.
  
  What could be improved: No lockbox outside the apartment was disappointing. Would be convenient to arrive/leave comfortably.
