B12 Apartments by Marina Gdańsk – Old Town

B12 Apartments by Marina Gdańsk – Old Town Overview

B12 Apartments by Marina Gdańsk – Old Town is tucked right on Św. Barbary 12, so you’re literally in the heart of the old quarter. As soon as I stepped out of the building, the scent of fresh pierogi from a nearby stall hit me—classic Gdańsk, if you’re into that kind of savory, yeasty aroma. The building itself is a mid‑century block with a little brick façade, but the rooms feel surprisingly modern. The first thing I noticed was the natural light that floods the living area; the windows overlook a narrow street that buzzes with the clatter of trams and the occasional tourist’s photo‑taking click. I mean, you can see the whole Old Town from there, but it’s quiet enough to read a book without losing your train of thought.

Check‑in was a breeze—there’s a small lobby and a friendly front desk clerk who knew my name before I even reached the desk. The keycard system is straightforward; you can access the apartment from a lift that’s surprisingly fast for a historic building. The apartment itself is a cozy 2‑bedroom layout, oddly spacious for a 4‑star place. The kitchen is well‑equipped; I had a cup of coffee on the balcony while listening to the distant bells from St. Mary’s Church, the sound that makes you feel right in the centre of the city. The tiles in the bathroom are a subtle grey, and the towels—soft, fluffy, like you’d expect from a higher‑end hotel—are a pleasant surprise. I also appreciated the extra touch of a small fridge stocked with bottled water, a small but thoughtful detail that made the apartment feel like a home.

Parking is a bit of a hassle if you’re driving, but most people stay in rented cars or use public transport—there’s a bus stop right outside, and trams run every couple of minutes. If you insist on a car, there’s a paid parking lot on Św. Barbary that’s only a few steps away; just be mindful of the early‑morning street cleaning, which can be a bit of a nuisance. Noise is another thing: the apartment is sound‑insulated enough that you can hear the street traffic in the distance but not the full rush of the city, which is perfect for late‑night rest. The only slight drawback is that the hallway near the elevator can get a little cold in winter, so I’d recommend layering up.

When I wanted to step out for dinner, I found myself strolling a few blocks to the Piotrkowska Street, a short walk that promised a mix of cafés, bars, and the legendary Gdańsk bakery, Piekarnia. I stopped at a tiny spot called “Café Kultura” which, by the way, serves the best espresso in town. The ambiance was lively but not overwhelming; there were a few locals in their 30s sipping wine and discussing the latest football match—very authentic. I also took a detour to the New Port area; the waterfront is surprisingly quiet after 10 pm, perfect for a late‑night walk. The entire area is pedestrian‑friendly, and the cobblestones give that old‑world charm you crave when you’re looking for a place that feels like a home away from home.

Overall, B12 Apartments by Marina Gdańsk – Old Town offers a solid 4‑star experience without the typical hotel façade. It’s a 5‑star vibe in a 4‑star price range, and the rating of 8.9 is no exaggeration. The staff’s warm welcome, the apartment’s thoughtful amenities, and the proximity to key spots like the Old Town Market Square and the Oliwa Cathedral make it a great choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Gdańsk’s historic vibe while still having the comfort of a modern home. If you’re planning a trip during the summer rush, book early—this place fills up fast, but you’ll want the cozy balcony overlooking the bustling street and the quiet nights that let you rest after a day of exploring. Just remember: the city’s best moments happen when you’re in the thick of it, and B12 Apartments by Marina Gdańsk – Old Town puts you right in the middle, hands‑on, breathing the city’s rhythm, and ready for the next adventure.
