Gdańsk Tarasy Bałtyku Sea Side by Downtown Apartments – Sauna, Gym & Parking Overview

I just got back from a week in Gdańsk, and I can’t stop thinking about that spot on Prezydenta Lecha Kaczyńskiego where I stayed. The first thing that struck me was the front desk – the staff were friendly, no long lines, and they handed me a small card that read Gdańsk Tarasy Bałtyku Sea Side by Downtown Apartments – Sauna, Gym & Parking in a neat, handwritten style. It felt almost like a secret handshake. I mean, you know how most hotels are all about the flashy lobby? Here it was a modest, well-kept space that welcomed you with a quick scan of your ID and a grin. The check‑in was smooth, and I got a digital key that worked on my phone – no awkward keycard fumbling at 8 p.m. The building itself is a two‑story block that looks like an old apartment complex with a new twist, and the parking garage right outside the entrance is a lifesaver when you’re driving in and the city streets get crowded.

The apartment itself was a clean, bright space that felt like a home away from home. I love how the windows face the sea, so every morning I could hear that rhythmic splash of waves, and the light was just right for a quick coffee before heading out. The real gem was the private balcony – a perfect spot to sip a glass of local Gdańsk vodka while watching the sun dip over the Baltic. I found the sauna surprisingly intimate, with a wooden interior that smelled faintly of pine. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind after a day of wandering through the old town, without the thunderous crowds you’d find in the city center. The gym was modest but functional – a treadmill, a bench, a set of dumbbells – and the staff left a bag of protein protein powder for guests, which was a nice touch. Parking was especially convenient: the garage is adjacent, free for guests, and you can drop your car off right after check‑out without any hassle.

Living here put me right in the middle of all the good stuff. I walked a few minutes to the beach, where the sand was clean and the tide was just the right level for a leisurely stroll. If you’re craving a bite, there’s a small café on Gdańska Street that serves pierogi and a decent coffee, and a few blocks away is the historic St. Mary’s Church – the bell tower’s bells, in particular, create a soothing backdrop that you can hear from the apartment. The noise level is pretty low; the only occasional hum comes from the street traffic, but there’s a soft barrier of trees that muffles it. The hotel’s 4‑star rating (8.9) and the fact that it’s tucked away from the main tourist arteries mean you get a real sense of local life without the usual tourist bustle. I did notice that the elevator was a bit slow, but it’s just a two‑floor building, so that’s hardly a deal‑breaker.

If you’re planning a trip during the peak summer, be prepared for the beach to get crowded, but the hotel’s location still offers a quick escape to the sea. The quiet hours are around midnight to 6 a.m., so if you’re a light sleeper, the apartment’s windows are well‑sealed, and the only night sounds are the occasional gulls and the sea. The only minor critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty on the balcony – a stronger signal would be nice for remote workers. But honestly, I found the overall experience to be the perfect blend of modern convenience and genuine Gdańsk charm. Whether you’re a solo traveler looking to relax or a couple
