Glow Apartments, Letnica – Apartamenty Bursztynowa Zatoka&Przystań Letnica Overview

Glow Apartments, Letnica – Apartamenty Bursztynowa Zatoka&Przystań Letnica sits on Starowiejska, a cobblestone street that feels like a time‑worn secret in the heart of Gdańsk. I first found it on a rainy Tuesday, the kind that makes you want to stay inside and sip coffee while watching the city blur into a watercolor. The building’s façade, a mix of brick and old glass, looks like it could be a photograph from the 1940s, but once you step inside, you realise it’s been updated for modern travelers without losing its historic soul.

The check‑in was surprisingly quick – the front desk clerk, a woman with a bright accent and a warm smile, handed me the key with a side note about the elevator’s gentle rumble. (Honestly, the elevator’s soft hiss is oddly comforting; it feels like the building itself is breathing.) Parking isn’t a nightmare – there’s a small underground lot right next to the building, no fees, and it’s a stone’s throw from the street. I parked before the afternoon rush, and even when the traffic on Starowiejska starts to pound, the apartment stays a quiet oasis. The noise level is low, which is a win in a city that can get loud at night.

The apartment itself feels like a well‑curated living room. The living area is open, with a plush sofa that invites you to sink into it after a day of exploring the old town. I found the smell of fresh linen and a faint hint of citrus from the air freshener, a subtle local twist that reminds you of the nearby Bursztynowy Market, where the air is always perfumed with spices and fresh bread. The kitchen is surprisingly spacious, with a stove that actually heats up quickly – a crucial detail for anyone who likes to whip up a quick dinner. The windows offer a view of the Gdańsk harbor, and on a clear day, the pier looks like a silver ribbon stretching out into the Baltic.

One of the best parts is the balcony. The railing is sturdy and the view is a living postcard – you can see the old lighthouse on the horizon. I spent a quiet evening there, sipping a glass of chilled white wine, listening to the distant choir from St. Mary’s Basilica. It’s the kind of place where you could stay for days and still feel like you’re discovering something new. The bed is top‑notch, with mattresses that hug you just right, and the linens feel like a second skin. The bathroom, though compact, is efficient – the shower has a spray setting that feels more like a gentle mist, great for a quick rinse after a day of sightseeing.

If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, Glow Apartments is a jolt of comfort in the middle of the city. The local vibe is palpable – you can hear the sea breeze mixing with the chatter of street cafés. I took a walk to the nearby Targowisko, the market square, and found a hidden gem: a small bakery that sells rye bread with a crust so crisp it crackles under your teeth. (I mean, that’s a must‑try.) During the high season, around July and August, the street is bustling, and the apartment’s windows can catch the hum of traffic, but the layout keeps the noise at bay. In the quieter months, the building feels an intimate retreat, with the occasional sound of a tram passing by adding a rhythmic soundtrack.

The only little gripe I had was the lack of a coffee machine in the kitchen – you’ll need to head out to the nearest café to brew a pot. But that’s a minor oversight, especially when you consider the convenience of having a dedicated space to relax in after a long day. When I left, I could hear the distant bells of the St. Mary’s Church, reminding me that somewhere, a city is alive and breathing. Glow Apartments left me with a sense of belonging, a place that feels at once familiar and fresh, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Gdańsk like a local, not just a tourist.

To book a hotel in Gdansk during major Baltic festivals, travelers need early planning as this historic Hanseatic city draws visitors eager to experience its amber heritage and shipyard history.

• Piotr from Poland – 26 February 2025 (10/10)

  Wszystko szybko sprawnie i bez problemów .
  
  What could be improved: Sposób pobrania i oddania pilota do szlabanu / parkingu . Trzeba opuścić parking i zaparkować w okolicy i wrócić się z pilotem do mieszkania – nie jest to jakiś problem ale można byłoby np zostawić i odebrać pilot w żabce , która jest zaraz koło parkingu na zasadzie kodu odbioru – z takimi rozwiązaniami już się spotkałem .

• Dawid from United Kingdom – 4 January 2025 (7/10)

  Too far to the city centre. Always taken taxi.

• Evaldas from Lithuania – 29 July 2024 (8/10)

  Good location – the centre and the sea are within easy reach. The rooms are really well furnished, everything is new and good looking. Parking space in the underground garage with quick access to the room, which is also good. The surroundings are tidy and nice. Large and comfortable balcony. Grocery store in walking distance.
  
  What could be improved: The shower was missing one part of the door.
  In the kitchen, the cooker hood was not connected to the ventilation system.
  All information is in Polish only, which is not good for guests from other countries. Our family of four stayed for five days, and the bathroom had only four towels and two rolls of tissue paper. There was no towel in the kitchen either. The kitchen had all the necessary cooking utensils and tools.
