GRANARIA Kingdom & Happiness PREMIUM Apartments by the River – GRATIS PROSECCO

GRANARIA Kingdom & Happiness PREMIUM Apartments by the River – GRATIS PROSECCO Overview

On a breezy late‑summer afternoon, I slipped into the lobby of GRANARIA Kingdom & Happiness PREMIUM Apartments by the River – GRATIS PROSECCO and instantly felt the city’s pulse slow down a bit. The reception desk was staffed by a woman with a warm, almost grandmother‑like smile—she remembered my previous stay from the winter and even asked how my trip had gone. I was handed a key card, a free bottle of prosecco (yes, literally gratis), and a small booklet with local “must‑see” spots. The check‑in was quick, with no long lines, and the staff let me know the elevator would be a tad slow after the nightly maintenance—so I took the stairs, which was a nice little workout.

The apartment itself is a two‑bedroom loft spread over two levels, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the Vistula River like a living postcard. The décor is a mix of modern Polish minimalism and cozy, hand‑painted ceramics that you find only in the old Gdańsk workshops. The living area has a sofa that actually goes right into the bed, so you can sleep on the couch when you’re in a hurry. The kitchen, which I used to whip up a quick breakfast, has stainless steel appliances, a local ceramic stove, and a small table that pulls out—perfect for a mid‑week lunch while listening to the river’s gentle murmur. The bathroom is fairly spacious, with a rain shower and a deep tub that I took a long, relaxing soak in after the day’s walking. The only thing that made me pause was a tiny crack in the tile, but the staff promised they’d patch it up during my stay.

When I stepped outside, the street was alive with the hum of scooters and the distant clatter of trams. From the balcony, you can see the cobblestones of Chmielna Street, the pastel‑colored facades of the old town, and the flickering lights of the nearby “Kawiarnia Czekolada.” I parked my car in the small, free parking lot across the street—no hassle, just a quick “thank you, please.” For locals, the best way to get to the Old Town is a short walk down to the “Stara Dźwigowa” street, where you’ll find a handful of street vendors selling fresh pierogi. If you’re looking to avoid the tourist crowds, I’d suggest heading up to the “Sopot” promenade after sunset; it’s quieter and the sea breeze is a nice contrast to the river’s warmth. The noise level during rush hour can be a bit high, especially near the tram tracks, but the building’s walls keep most of the clatter out, so I could still get a decent nap. On the flip side, the free prosecco was a real bonus—imagine opening a bottle right after a long day of walking and watching the sun slip over the river.

Overall, GRANARIA Kingdom & Happiness PREMIUM Apartments by the River – GRATIS PROSECCO feels like a slice of Gdańsk that’s both modern and deeply rooted in the city’s history. It’s not a boutique hotel with over‑the‑top spa; it’s a practical, well‑thought‑out apartment that’s ready for travelers who want to experience the city’s rhythm without the touristy fluff. I’d recommend booking a room for the shoulder season (late spring or early fall) to catch the best of both worlds: mild weather, fewer crowds, and the chance to explore the hidden corners of Gdańsk that most visitors miss. And if you’re a fan of spontaneous, local experiences, the free prosecco and the easy access to the riverfront will make your stay feel like a personal invitation to the city’s heart.
