COMFORT INN APARTMENTS – Gdansk, Sadowa

COMFORT INN APARTMENTS – Gdansk, Sadowa Overview

COMFORT INN APARTMENTS sits right on ul. Sadowa, the street that feels like the beating heart of Gdańsk’s waterfront scene. I remember walking up from the Old Town, passing the colorful facades of the Motława River, and seeing that clean, modern block with its simple glass doors. The first time I checked in, the front desk guy—Polish, but with a surprisingly sharp English—handed me a keycard that glowed a faint blue. He was quick, but he took a minute to explain the Wi‑Fi password, which is a nice touch for travelers who don’t want to dig through the internet for the same thing.

The apartments themselves are a solid 4‑star experience, honestly. They’re spacious, with a kitchenette that actually feels like a kitchen, not a tiny kitchenette. I made a quick omelette for breakfast the first morning, and the fridge was stocked with fresh milk and some local cheese—great for a quick snack before heading out. The room’s layout is practical: a comfy king bed, a work surface that’s perfect for late‑night planning, and a bathroom that has a shower with a nice pressure, which is something you don’t always get in a city like Gdańsk. The windows look out onto the river, and in the evenings you can hear the gentle lapping of water and the distant hum of the city’s nightlife. It’s not too loud, but you can still catch the faint chatter of couples strolling the promenade.

Parking is a bit of a headache—you have to use the public underground lot on ul. Żarnowiecka, which is a short walk away. The attendants are friendly, but they’re not going to let you park for free, so you’ll need to pay the usual fee. The real advantage is that the hotel doesn’t have any private parking, so you’re forced to use the street parking system, which is honestly a great way to stay connected to the city vibe. Check‑in is pretty straightforward: the front desk opens at 14:00, but they’ll hold your keycard until 15:30 if you’re a bit late, and they’re super accommodating with luggage. The only minor gripe is that the elevators are a bit slow, especially during peak check‑out hours in the winter when everyone’s trying to leave after a long day at the museums.

If you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat. Right across the street is a small pierogie stand that sells the best pierogis in town—think fresh, with a buttery crust and a filling of sweet potato and dill. I grabbed a few for lunch the next day, and they’re the kind of comfort food that makes you feel like you’re home. The smell of the pierogies, combined with the salty breeze off the Baltic, is a sensory memory I’ll keep for a long time. After lunch, I strolled down to the Gdańsk Maritime Museum, which is a quick walk away, and then on to the amber market. By the time the sun sets, the streets start to hum with the clink of glasses from the bars along the riverside, and you can catch a few local musicians playing traditional Polish folk music.

The best part is that the hotel feels like a home base for exploring Gdańsk. The staff know the best spots to eat and where to find the most authentic street art. If you’re traveling in the summer, expect the river to be warm and the nights to be cooler, which is perfect for walking. In winter, the city lights reflect on the river, giving you that postcard‑perfect glow. Overall, COMFORT INN APARTMENTS is a solid, comfortable spot that’s not too far from everything but still gives you a taste of the local life. It’s the kind of place you’ll recommend to friends because it blends practicality with that subtle, welcoming charm that makes a city feel less foreign and more like a second home.

Gdansk’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of Hanseatic tradition and modern comfort, with many featuring maritime tour services and authentic Polish coastal hospitality.
