Apartments Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartments Waterlane Island Pool & Gym SPA on Chmielna Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the right place” feeling. The building sits perfectly in Gdańsk’s historic center — honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better spot to explore this gorgeous Polish city. It’s one of those four-star properties that doesn’t try too hard to impress you with flashy lobbies, but instead focuses on getting the fundamentals absolutely right.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re literally in the heart of everything that makes Gdańsk special. The Old Town’s colorful merchant houses are just a short stroll away, and you can easily walk to the famous Neptune Fountain or browse the amber shops along Long Market. What’s really nice is that couples seem to absolutely adore this location (they rate it 9.6 out of 10), and I can see why. You know those romantic evening walks along the Motława River? They start right from your doorstep. The tram connections are solid too, so getting to Gdańsk’s beaches or the shipyard areas is actually pretty straightforward.

The Apartments & Amenities

The apartment-style setup works really well here — you get proper space to spread out, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms elsewhere. Each unit feels more like a temporary home than just a place to crash, with kitchenettes that are actually useful if you want to grab some local groceries and cook something simple. The pool area is a nice touch (not huge, but perfectly adequate for a few laps), and the gym has decent equipment without feeling like an afterthought. The spa facilities add that extra bit of relaxation you need after walking around Gdańsk’s cobblestone streets all day.

The Experience

What strikes me most about this place is how it balances being centrally located without feeling chaotic or noisy. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but the building itself maintains a calm atmosphere. The staff genuinely seems to know the area well — they’ll point you toward the best pierogi spots or tell you which museums are worth your time. I mean, when you’re dealing with a 7.8 rating, you’re getting solid, dependable service without any major surprises (good or bad).

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back here because it delivers exactly what it promises — a well-located, comfortable base for exploring Gdańsk without breaking the bank. The apartment format gives you flexibility that regular hotels can’t match, especially if you’re staying for more than just a quick weekend. Plus, there’s something satisfying about having access to a pool and spa when you want to unwind, but also being able to step outside and be immediately immersed in one of Poland’s most beautiful historic cities. It’s that sweet spot between independence and hotel amenities that actually works.

• Laura from United Kingdom – 1 September 2023 (6/10)

• Olga from Sweden – 5 May 2023 (5/10)

  Nice location, acceptable facilities, good value for money.
  
  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)

  Clean and nice place, great location

• 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.
