Blue Lagoon – Botanica Jelitkowo by OneApartments

Blue Lagoon – Botanica Jelitkowo by OneApartments Overview

Blue Lagoon – Botanica Jelitkowo by OneApartments is tucked away on Bursztynowa 4/10, right by the pier where the Baltic air tastes faintly of seaweed and fresh coffee from the corner kiosk on Św. Kazimierza Street. I remember the first time I walked in: the check‑in desk was oddly spacious, and the receptionist—an older woman with a quick smile—handed me a keycard that looked like it belonged in a sci‑fi film. Parking is a bit of a hunt; you have to pull into the alley behind the old bakery on Gładka Street and then shuffle a block to the underground lot, but there’s a free spot if you ask the porters, and it’s worth it because the noise from the marina is surprisingly low after 10 pm. The lobby smells faintly of thyme and fresh linen, and the light that spills in from the floor‑to‑ceiling windows gives you a little sense of calm before you head to your room.

The room itself—yes, the Blue Lagoon rooms have a chill vibe that feels almost like a spa retreat, with pastel walls that don’t scream “hotel” but rather “you’re home.” The bed is big enough for a small family, though I booked a single, and the view of the harbor from the balcony is a constant reminder of the city’s maritime pulse. You can hear the gulls and the distant hum of the tram line on Gdańsk’s main street, and if you’re a fan of quiet, the hallway is so soft-sand that you’re not tempted to step out until you’re ready. The bathroom has a walk‑in shower with a rain‑shower head that makes you feel like you’re standing in a tiny, private rainfall. If you need to charge anything, the hotel’s Wi‑Fi is decent, but I’d still recommend a power strip because the outlets are a little far apart.

After a day of wandering, I’d head back to the Blue Lagoon to relax in the lounge, where a local jazz trio plays on weekends—an honest, low‑key performance that doesn’t disrupt the late‑night serenity. The breakfast buffet is a real treat: think freshly baked rye bread, a smorgasbord of cheeses, and a butter spread that’s so buttery it melts just by the touch. I have to admit, the only critique I have is that the room’s air-conditioning is a bit loud when it kicks in at night, but honestly, it’s a tiny inconvenience in the grand scheme. If you’re planning a trip in the off‑season, the hotel is a breath of fresh air, literally, because the streetlights cast a soft glow on the harbor and the sound of waves is almost meditative. For those who want to stay close to the city’s heart, you can hop on a tram to the Old Town and wander through the cobblestone lanes of Krakowskie Przedmieście, but the Blue Lagoon keeps you grounded in its own little slice of Gdańsk’s charm.

To book a hotel in Gdansk during major Baltic festivals, travelers need early planning as this historic Hanseatic city draws visitors eager to experience its amber heritage and shipyard history.
