Bliżej Morza AON Apartament Gdańsk

Bliżej Morza AON Apartament Gdańsk Overview

Bliżej Morza AON Apartament Gdańsk sits right on Letnicka street, just a stone’s throw from the Motława River. I got there on a breezy Saturday afternoon, and the first thing that hit me was the salty tang of the sea mingling with the scent of freshly baked pierogi from a street cart across the street. The building itself is a nice, understated four‑star apartment hotel, and the lobby had a warm, almost home‑like vibe – not the sterile, polished look you see in most chain hotels. Check‑in was smooth; the front desk staff handed me a digital key, and they were even able to point me toward the best parking spots in the area – there’s a small underground lot behind the hotel that’s covered, plus a paid surface parking spot a block away that’s usually free after 7 pm. I appreciate that the staff remembered my name by the end of the day, which feels a lot more personal than the automated greetings at the big hotels.

The apartment itself is spacious and has a view that you can’t really miss – a panoramic look over the city’s old wooden houses and the river. I spent most mornings on the balcony, sipping coffee as the city woke up; the sounds of trams rattling in the distance, the distant hum of a ferry, and the occasional shout from a fisherman about a bad catch set a uniquely Gdańsk rhythm. The interior is fairly modern, with a minimalist décor that doesn’t feel cold. The kitchenette is surprisingly well‑equipped – there’s a kettle, a toaster, a blender, and a decent selection of spices that let you whip up a quick pasta or a local fish stew. The bathroom is a bit small, but the rain shower is a delight, and the towels are plush, which is a nice touch for a place that’s not a luxury resort.

When you’re ready to explore, you’re essentially in the heart of Gdańsk’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The Old Town is just a 10‑minute walk, and you can hop on a tram from the nearby stop on Zwycięstwa Street to the historic St. Mary’s Church or the old city walls. If you’re into art, the nearby Museum of the Second World War is only a quick stroll away, and walking toward the waterfront, the Arkadia shopping centre offers a mix of local boutiques and international brands – a good spot to grab a quick snack or a souvenir. I recommend checking out the local café on Gdańsk’s most bustling street, Piotrkowska, where the espresso is strong and the pastries are flaky. Also, a quick walk toward the beach at Sopot – just a three‑station tram ride – gives you a whole new perspective on the Baltic coast. The evenings are usually quiet here; the wind from the sea usually keeps the traffic noise at bay, so you can actually hear the distant sound of a violinist playing in the square, adding to that authentic city feel.

Honestly, the only little gripe I had was that the Wi‑Fi was a bit spotty in the corner of the apartment, but for a short stay like mine, it didn’t really matter. The hotel’s rating of 9.3 on the travel site is spot on – it reflects the kind of thoughtful service and intimate atmosphere that feels more like a local’s favorite spot than a generic tourist trap. If you’re looking for a place that feels like you’re staying in a neighbor’s apartment, with easy access to the city’s best spots and the soothing backdrop of the Baltic, Bliżej Morza AON Apartament Gdańsk is a solid pick. The staff’s friendly nods, the soft light filtering through the windows, and that unmistakable sea breeze are what make it stand out. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Gdańsk – it’s the kind of place you come back to because it feels like home, not just a hotel.

Hotels in Gdansk offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic gem, with easy access to shipyards, museums, and coastal attractions.
