Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla

Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla Overview

Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla is tucked on 1B Grobla IV, a narrow side‑street that feels like a secret corner of the old city. I arrived right after lunch on a Saturday, and the first thing that struck me was the front desk—no long queues, just a friendly receptionist who handed me a key card that worked through an app on my phone. Honestly, the check‑in was a breeze, and I was in my room in under ten minutes, which is a relief after a day of wandering the cobblestones. The building itself is a modest four‑storey block, its façade a muted beige that blends with the historic architecture around it. The instant you step inside, you notice the smell of fresh baked bread drifting in from the bakery on Ulica Szeroka, just a block away.

The apartment is a compact, well‑thought‑out space that feels surprisingly airy. The kitchen area is equipped with a coffee machine, a small fridge, and a two‑tier spice rack—useful if you like to cook a quick meal. The bed is a king‑size with a mattress that’s firm but comfortable, and the linens feel like a soft hug. I was particularly impressed by the blackout curtains; at night, the city lights fade into a muted glow, and you can hear the distant clanging of bells from St. Mary’s Cathedral—an almost magical soundtrack. For those who love a bit of noise, the street below is lively with the chatter of locals, but the building’s insulation keeps most of that away. The bathroom is spotless, and the shower has a good water pressure, which is a plus in a city where you sometimes get a lukewarm splash.

When it comes to the neighborhood, Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla is a stone’s throw from the Old Town Market Square. I walked past the Neptune Fountain and down to the stalls selling pierogi and local amber souvenirs. If you’re looking for a quiet lunch, there’s a tiny trattoria on Młynarska Street that serves risotto with a view of the river—great for a midday break. For those who enjoy a bit of nightlife, you can hop on the tram line 2 to the city center and find a plethora of bars and clubs. Parking is a bit of a challenge; there’s a small street lot on Grobla IV, but it fills up by 5 p.m., so I usually take a taxi or the metro. The real charm, though, is the sense of being in a living, breathing community—every corner holds a story, and you can almost hear the old fishermen’s tales in the wind that rustles through the narrow alleys.

Overall, Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla offers a blend of comfort and authenticity. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Gdańsk’s history without sacrificing modern convenience. It’s not a luxury palace, but it’s a home away from home, especially if you’re after that mix of quiet space and lively culture. The only minor critique: the Wi‑

Reviews of Comfort Apartments Old Town Grobla

• Marcin from Poland – 2 March 2025 (8/10)

  Dobra lokalizacja

• Lesley from United Kingdom – 11 February 2025 (9/10)

  Beautifully decorated, 99% was extremely clean, I could not fault who ever cleaned this apartment as it was spotless, very comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: No light switch outside of apartment door so difficult navigating the stairs to get out of the building. The smell of sewage coming from the bathroom sink and shower drains was really disgusting, we had to keep the door shut and hold our noses to enter it unfortunately. This was the only thing that night put us off staying here again.

• Malgorzata from Poland – 30 December 2024 (9/10)

  Doskonała lokalizacja w samym centrum, wszędzie blisko. Mieszkanko komfortowe, wyposażone, przyjemne wnętrze.
  
  What could be improved: Brak informacji o rodzaju ekspresu i potrzebnych do niego filtrach. Zniszczone patelnie wymagają wymiany i brakuje drewnianej łyżki do nich.

• Barbara from United States – 28 September 2024 (8/10)

  Location. 15 minutes walk to train station
  
  What could be improved: It wasn’t really clean that well. My mother had to clean some spiders webs from corners and the sofa was really dirty. There is no options to control temperature.

• Zuzka from Czech Republic – 4 May 2024 (9/10)

  We absolutely loved our stay in this apartment! We were hoping for a place close to the center and the Grobla apartment was only a 3-minute walk from the riverside and a 6-minute walk from downtown (the Neptune fountain in Dluga street). It was extremely convenient. On top of that, the place was quiet and the apartment was cozy and spacious, with enough kitchen supplies to cook a few meals. Definitely recommend!
