Glow Apartments, Apartament Marina

Glow Apartments, Apartament Marina Overview

Glow Apartments, Apartament Marina sits on a quiet corner of Czarny Dwór, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Długi Targ and the historic St. Mary’s Church. I arrived in the early afternoon, right when the city’s tram whistles were starting to echo off the cobblestones. The front desk was lit with a warm, almost home‑like glow, and the staff welcomed me with a friendly “Dzień dobry” that felt more like a neighbor’s hello than a hotel greeting. Check‑in was quick—no long lines, just a brief chat, a digital key, and a map of the best spots that locals actually frequent. I was handed a small booklet that listed the nearby “Kawiarnia Słoneczna” on Św. Jana, a cozy spot where the espresso is strong enough to keep you awake for the pierogi market at night.

After dropping my suitcase, I wandered down to the Old Town. The street’s air was tinged with roasted chestnuts and the distant sea breeze, a scent that instantly reminded me of summer evenings on the Motława. The noise level in the apartment itself was surprisingly low, especially considering its proximity to the city center. The windows face a quiet courtyard, so the occasional chatter of tourists is all the noise you’ll hear. I did notice, however, that the building’s older walls sometimes let in a faint hum from the tram tracks, but it’s never more than a gentle background buzz—perfect for a relaxed night’s rest. Parking is a bit of a hunt: there’s a small street‑parking zone a block away, but you’ll need a permit, and the locals whisper you might have better luck by the harbor’s side where the municipal parking lot offers free spots on weekends.

The apartment itself feels like a slice of Gdańsk’s modern charm. The décor is understated, with neutral tones and a few local art pieces that give it character without overwhelming the space. The kitchenette is well‑equipped—there’s a kettle for instant tea, a small fridge, and a set of basic utensils that will keep you fed during your adventures. I spent an entire morning in the kitchen, brewing coffee and watching the city wake up. The balcony, though small, offers a view of the old city’s rooftops, and the morning light through the windows is surprisingly gentle. The rating of 9.4 on travel sites is justified; it’s the kind of place that feels less like a hotel and more like a friendly, well‑maintained apartment that locals might rent out. I’ll definitely recommend Glow Apartments, Apartament Marina to anyone who wants a comfortable base, easy access to the city’s historic sites, and a quiet place to unwind after a day of exploring. The only real critique is the parking situation, but the city’s arrangement of spots is pretty well‑organized if you know where to look. Overall, it’s a solid 4‑star experience that lets you live like a Gdańsk resident, if only for a few nights.

Reviews of Glow Apartments, Apartament Marina

• Justyna from Poland – 11 May 2025 (10/10)

  Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z aratamentu. Był naprawdę duzy. Czuliśmy się w nim swobodnie w 5 dorosłych osób. Było w nim wszystko co potrzeba na kilku dniowy pobyt. I przede wszystkim czysto aż miło. Pościel aż pachniała. W tym samym czasie wynajęliśmy apartament z którego musieliśmy się wyprowadzić że względu na smrod. Na biegu w dniu przyjazdu szukaliśmy innego. I to był strzał w dziesiątkę. Polecam bardzo.
