Dom & House Apartments – Marina Residence

Dom & House Apartments – Marina Residence Overview

Dom & House Apartments – Marina Residence sits right off Czarny Dwór, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Motława River. I’ve walked this street so many times that I can practically recite the names of every little bakery and the one shop that sells those ridiculously good pierogi. The building itself is an old brick structure, a bit of a contrast to the sleek glass towers popping up in the nearby Gdańsk port area, but that’s part of its charm. Inside, you’re greeted by a bright, airy lobby that smells faintly of fresh coffee from the tiny café on the first floor—though you’ll only get a sip if you’re lucky and the barista remembers you.

When I first checked in, the staff handed me a keycard and told me to use the smart lock on the front door. Honestly, it was a bit of a hassle at first because the instructions were printed on a tiny card that disappeared into my tote bag. But once I got the hang of it, it was super convenient. I was able to skip the front desk and just head straight to my apartment. My room was a 4‑star slice of comfort: a king bed that feels like it’s made of memory foam, a mini‑bar stocked with local vodka, and a soaking tub that’s big enough to soak under the city lights. The view from the balcony was a little noisy—boats passing by, a couple of gulls cawing—but that’s Gdańsk, right? The sea breeze would have you feeling, like, totally relaxed, and the city’s heartbeat was a low murmur in the background.

Parking is a bit of a mixed bag. If you’re driving, you can find a spot on the street, but it’s a 10‑minute walk to the apartment, and you’ll have to negotiate with a few locals who have their own spots. There’s a small parking lot on the opposite side of the street, but it’s a bit pricey. For those on foot, though, the location is unbeatable. You can stroll to the Old Town in under fifteen minutes—see the St. Mary’s Church, the Royal Castle, and the famous Golden Gate. If you’re up for a quick river cruise, the marina’s just a few blocks away. The best part? You’ll be right next to the popular Gdańsk Fish Market, and the whole area comes alive in the evenings with music and the scent of grilled herring. (It’s a sensory overload, honestly, but in a good way.) Overall, Dom & House Apartments – Marina Residence feels like a cozy, well‑placed home base that’s genuinely lived in. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with a real sense of being part of the city’s daily rhythm, rather than just a tourist stop.
