Blue Bay Apartment

Blue Bay Apartment Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Blue Bay Apartment, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a typical residential building on Starowiejska Street. But you know what? Sometimes the best places hide in plain sight. This four-star property sits in one of those perfectly ordinary Gdańsk neighborhoods that actually works in your favor — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like you’re living like a local for a few days.

The Space Itself

The apartment is what I’d call thoughtfully designed rather than flashy. You get a proper living area that doesn’t feel cramped, and the kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Żabka and make breakfast yourself. The room setup works well for couples — I mean, there’s a reason this place scores so highly with people on romantic getaways. The whole space feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed flat than a sterile hotel room, which I found refreshing after too many cookie-cutter chain hotels.

Location Perks

Here’s what I really appreciated about the location — you’re in Wrzeszcz, which puts you about 15 minutes from Gdańsk’s Old Town by tram, but you’re also walking distance to some genuinely good local spots that most tourists never find. There’s this little restaurant called Metamorfoza just a few blocks away that serves incredible pierogi, and honestly, the neighborhood has that lived-in feel that makes you understand what daily life in Gdańsk is actually like. Plus, having free parking right on site is huge if you’re planning day trips to places like Malbork Castle or the Hel Peninsula.

Practical Advantages

The parking situation alone makes this place worth considering — finding a spot in central Gdańsk can be a nightmare, especially during summer when everyone’s visiting. But here, you just pull up and you’re done. The tram connections are solid too, so you can easily get to the main train station or hop over to Sopot for a beach day. I also liked that the building feels secure without being overly formal — you get your key codes, everything works smoothly, but there’s no stuffy front desk situation to navigate.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when a place gets the fundamentals right without trying too hard to impress. You get space to spread out, a kitchen for morning coffee or late-night snacks, and you’re positioned perfectly for exploring both Gdańsk proper and the wider Tri-City area. The couples who rave about this place probably appreciate the same thing I did: it feels like you’re staying somewhere with character, not just booking a bed for the night. It’s the kind of spot where you might actually find yourself planning a longer stay next time.

Early hotels booking in Gdansk requires advance planning during peak summer seasons when visitors flock to enjoy the city’s beautiful beaches and rich maritime culture.
