Blue Apartment

Blue Apartment Overview

Blue Apartment is tucked right on Letnicka 10, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Gdańsk Market Square. The first thing that hits you when you step into the lobby is that faint, comforting scent of fresh coffee and baked rye—local bakeries on Mariacka Street are within earshot, and you can almost taste the warm bread just by walking past. The check‑in was surprisingly quick; the staff greeted us with a friendly “Witaj!” and handed a key that glowed a soft, calming blue. It’s the kind of small detail that instantly feels like you’re not in a hotel, but in a local’s home.

The apartment itself is a cozy 2‑bedroom space that feels a lot more like a well‑curated loft than a typical hotel room. The living area spills onto a tiny balcony that faces the street; you can hear the distant chatter of tourists and the occasional honk of a red tram (yes, the trams here are a local staple). The walls are painted in gentle blues and whites—hence the name—and the furnishings are modern without being sterile. The bed has that kind of mattress that remembers the shape of your body from the first night; honestly, it’s one of those moments that make you want to stay a little longer. The kitchen is surprisingly spacious and stocked with Polish staples—think pierogi, kiełbasa, and a mini fridge filled with local craft beers. I was impressed by the slightly worn wooden floor that creaks just enough to remind you that you’re in a building with history.

Parking is a breeze for those driving into the city. There’s a small, free underground lot right next to the building, and it’s usually empty at night; the only thing that can be a bit noisy is the occasional street musician near the Motława River, but that’s just part of the city’s charm. Sound-wise, the apartment isn’t completely insulated—you’ll hear the city’s heartbeat, but it’s not the sort of constant traffic noise that can be a deal‑breaker. If you’re a night owl, you’ll find the area relatively quiet after midnight; the only ambient sounds are the soft hum of the building’s HVAC and a distant ship’s horn echoing across the river. I mentioned that the check‑in experience was smooth, but don’t expect a fancy welcome—just a quick chat, a map of the local tram lines, and a tip on where to walk for the best pierogi. One little critique: the bathroom tiles are a bit slippery when wet, so a non‑slip mat would be a nice touch. Overall, Blue Apartment feels like a warm, locally infused home base that lets you soak up Gdańsk’s vibrant pulse without feeling like a tourist.

Hotel in Gdansk booking should be done early, especially during summer festivals when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and maritime events.
