Dom & House – Apartament Trzy Żagle

Dom & House – Apartament Trzy Żagle Overview

Dom & House – Apartament Trzy Żagle sits on 3A Olsztyńska, right on the edge of Gdańsk’s historic Old Town. I arrived in the late afternoon, the city buzzing with tourists heading toward the Motława River. The building itself is a charming four‑star apartment complex—look, it’s not a hotel in the traditional sense, more like a boutique apartment block. I remember the front desk greeters were quick but warm, and the key‑card system didn’t feel like a hassle; you just swipe and go. Check‑in was smooth, but you know what? The staff handed me a small booklet that had an outline of the neighborhood, which I found surprisingly helpful.

I stepped into my apartment, and honestly, the space was a breath of fresh air. The room was bright with natural light flooding through the large windows, and the view of the winding street below was postcard‑worthy. The décor was a mix of industrial chic and cozy Polish touches—think exposed brick, wooden beams, and a vintage sofa that felt like a hug. The kitchenette was surprisingly well-equipped: you get a full set of cookware, a coffee maker that actually makes decent brew, and a small fridge that holds all your groceries. The bathroom had a walk‑in shower with a rainfall head, and the tiles were matte, giving it a subtle, spa‑like vibe. I found the Wi‑Fi speeds were spot on, so I could stream movies or work without lag. The only small critique? The apartment doesn’t have a dedicated laundry machine, but there’s a laundromat a block away, which is a quick walk and not too expensive.

Outside, the building’s location is perfect for both adventure seekers and those who prefer a quieter start to their day. The street is quiet at night, so you get a good night’s sleep even with the city’s rhythm humming just beyond the doorstep. I parked my scooter in the underground lot, and the parking fee was reasonable—no hidden charges. The noise level was low, though the street does get a bit lively on weekends when street performers set up near the Żabianka pier. If you’re traveling during the summer, the area can get a bit hot, but the balcony offers a little shade and a nice breeze from the river. Also, I stopped by the nearby Struga street, where you’ll find a handful of quirky cafés and a gallery that showcases local artists. I mean, you can’t walk past the tiny bakery “Cukiernia St. Mariusz” and not try their rye bread; it’s this simple, doughy thing that melts in your mouth.

I love how the locals treat this place—there’s a sense of community that you feel when you chat with the receptionist or the neighbor who’s a baker. They’ll tell you the best times for a coffee, or that the winter markets are a must‑visit in December. I also tried the local pier at sunset, and the sound of the waves hitting the rocks was a perfect soundtrack to end my day. All in all, staying at Dom & House – Apartament Trzy Żagle felt less like a stay in a hotel and more like a stay in a well‑curated, local home. If you’re heading to Gdańsk and want a place that feels both comfortable and authentically Polish, this is the spot. The price point is solid for a four‑star experience, and you get the extra perks of a local vibe that you won’t find in a chain hotel. I left with a stack of Polaroids and a heart full of good vibes, already planning my next trip back.
