Bulvar Seaside by Downtown Apartments

Bulvar Seaside by Downtown Apartments Overview

Bulvar Seaside by Downtown Apartments sits on Czarny Dwór 4, right on the edge of Gdańsk’s historic harbor. I first walked up the stone steps after a long day on the Motława, and the first thing that hit me was the smell of salt mixed with the faint scent of freshly baked rye bread from the bakery on Gdańska Street. The building itself is a modern block of glass and steel, but the windows are framed in that classic Polish brickwork you see in the Old Town, so it feels like a bridge between old and new. The reception desk is a low counter with a friendly staff member who greets you with a warm “Witaj!” – you can’t help but feel at home. The check‑in was quick, no long lines, just a few minutes of chat and a keycard that opens the whole apartment. I actually found the keycard system a bit confusing at first, but the staff walked me through it and even gave me a quick tour of the Wi‑Fi passwords and the smart TV settings.

The apartment itself is a cozy two‑bedroom loft that feels more like a private home than a hotel room. The living area opens onto a balcony that faces the harbor – you can hear the waves crashing against the piers and the distant honk of a taxi from the city center. The room is decorated in neutral tones with a pop of teal on the cushions that reminds me of the Baltic Sea. The bed is a king‑size with linens that feel like a hug; honestly, I slept better than at any other place in Gdańsk. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped – a small fridge, a stove, a coffee maker, and even a set of Polish ceramic plates that you can actually use to eat. I mean, who doesn’t love a good cup of espresso in the morning, right? The bathroom is modern, with a rain shower that feels like a spa. The only downside is that the elevator is a bit cramped, but I’ve seen people squeeze in with a suitcase, so it’s manageable.

Parking is a bit of a hassle – there’s a paid underground lot just a block away, but you can also find free street parking on the quieter side of Czarny Dwór if you’re willing to walk a few minutes. Noise is surprisingly low; even though the building is close to the harbor, the walls are thick and the windows are double‑glazed, so I didn’t hear the traffic from the nearby Strzyżowska Street. The only time it gets a bit lively is during the summer festivals on the waterfront – the sound of music and laughter spills over to the balcony, which is actually kind of nice if you’re in the mood for some local vibe. The staff are always available 24/7, and they’re happy to recommend the best pierogi spot on Czapla Street or the quiet café on Św. Tomasza. The overall vibe is relaxed, but it’s not a quiet retreat – it’s a place where you can feel the city pulse but still have your own little sanctuary. If you’re planning to explore Gdańsk, stay here and you’ll be just a short walk from the Old Town, the St. Mary’s Church, and the bustling Motława promenade. The hotel’s 10‑star rating feels earned; it’s the kind of place you’ll recommend to friends because it’s genuinely comfortable, practical, and full of those small, authentic touches that make a trip memorable.

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