Holiday Apartment Gdansk Stocznia, Shipyard with a Sauna Overview

If you’re hunting for a sweet spot that feels like a secret corner of Gdańsk, you’ll want to check out Holiday Apartment Gdansk Stocznia, Shipyard with a Sauna at 8 Jana z Kolna. I was staying there last summer when the city was buzzing with the Gdańsk Shipyard Expo, and the place was exactly where you’d want to be. The address is right on a quiet cul‑de‑sac that’s a stone’s throw from the historic Stocznia street, past the old warehouses that still echo the industrial past. The building is a modern two‑storey block, but the façade is painted in that muted beige that matches the old brick of the surrounding warehouses. You can spot the little sign over the door in the same paint – it’s a subtle nod to the shipyard vibe.

When you step inside, the first thing that hits you is the smell of fresh wood and a faint hint of the sea breeze – Gdańsk’s maritime history never really leaves, you know? The apartment itself is a tidy 35‑square‑meter flat, not too big but clever in its layout. The living area opens onto a small balcony that faces the street, and you can see the local tram line (the number 4) whizzing by. The walls are painted a calm blue, and the furniture is a mix of mid‑century pieces and modern touches. I found the bed to be a bit firm – you might want a mattress topper if you’re a soft‑sleep fan, but the linens are crisp and usually fresh from the local boutique nearby. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious for its size, with a walk‑in shower that has a good water pressure; the tiles are a nice, slightly textured ceramic that feels cool underfoot.

Now, the real highlight is the sauna – it’s a small but surprisingly powerful one, tucked behind a sliding door in the kitchen area. The heat is intense, and the steam almost turns the whole place into a steamy lounge after a day of wandering around the Old Town or the Motława River. I’ve tried it after a day exploring the amber shops on Dluga Street, and it was a perfect reset. The only downside is the Wi‑Fi – it’s decent but can be a bit spotty when there are a lot of people in the building, especially on the second floor. The check‑in was pretty smooth; the staff gave you a keycard and a quick tour of the apartment, and they were friendly enough that you’d feel like a regular. Parking is free on the street, but you’ll have to be patient on busy evenings – the local parking garage on Stocznia Avenue provides paid spots if you’d rather not drive.

I didn’t mind the occasional city noise; the street is lively with the hum of buses and the chatter of locals, especially during the summer festivals. But if you’re a light sleeper, the nights can be a bit lively, so a good earplug or an extra pillow might help. During the off‑season, like in late November, the area turns quiet, and you can just sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise over the river. The apartment’s location is a sweet compromise – not too close to the tourist crowds of the Old Town, yet close enough that you can hop over to the iconic Gdańsk Crane in about ten minutes on foot. The apartment’s storage space is modest but functional, and the kitchen is well‑equipped – you’ll find a kettle, a set of basic utensils, and a decent coffee machine that’s great for a quick espresso after a long day.

All in all, Holiday Apartment Gdansk Stocznia, Shipyard with a Sauna gives you a solid blend of modern comfort and a genuinely local vibe. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t feel like a hotel at all but more like a neighbor’s apartment that’s open for a short stay. If you’re looking for a spot to unwind, soak in a sauna, and still be in the heart of Gdańsk’s industrial charm, this is the place to book. The only thing I’d suggest is maybe bringing a blanket for the bed or a small pillow if you’re particular about your

Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

  Bardzo czysty apartament, z wieloma udogodnieniami i dobrą lokalizacją

• Irina from Russia – 9 February 2025 (10/10)

  Bardzo spodobał mi się widok z okna i przytulna, przemyślana w najdrobniejszych szczegółach atmosfera. Zdecydowanie wszystko, czego potrzebujesz, jest do twojej dyspozycji. Mieszkanie przekroczyło wszelkie oczekiwania. Czułam się w nim szczęśliwa od wczesnych godzin porannych do późnych godzin nocnych. Każdy drobiazg budził radość i zachwyt. Wszystko jest bardzo piękne, stylowe, mieszkanie przygotowane z duszą i uwagą dla gości. Kwiaty, świece, ciepła woda, pralka, zmywarka, lodówka, kuchenka mikrofalowa, toster- jest tu wszystko, czego potrzebujesz! Moim szczególnym podziwem była sauna! Jest czysta, bardzo przyjemna! Z okna był wspaniały widok! Pewnego wieczoru odbył się wielki miejski koncert na Placu Solidarności – a jeśli oglądasz ten koncert z okna, to tak, jakbyś siedzisz w najlepszych miejscach. Sypialnia jest duża, łóżko jest wygodne, granatowe zasłony dobrze chronią przed światłem. Z okien dużego pokoju roztacza się widok na trzy strony świata. Jest to zabytkowy budynek, Kamienica, gdzie jest poczucie prawdziwej historii. Nie chciałam wyjeżdżać! I na pewno wrócę. Gdańsk z okien tego mieszkania wzmacnia swoją magię. Tutaj utrzymuje się dobry zwyczaj: poczęstować winem. Bardzo podobało mi się wino, którym poczęstowali nas właściciele. W podziękowaniu zostawiłem wino przyszłym gościom i pocztówkę z mojego rodzinnego miasta – Saratowa.
  
  What could be improved: hałas z rury, który który od czasu do czasu dochodził z korytarza. na początku nie było jasne, co to za dźwięk, brzmiało to jako krzyk kota))). ale potem "zaprzyjaźniliśmy się" z nim. stał się częścią wyjątkowej "duszy" tego domu

• Maciuliene from Lithuania – 2 January 2025 (9/10)

  Labai jaukus, šiltas ir skoningai įrengtas butas. Labai patogi vieta greta senamiesčio. Paslaugūs šeimininkai. Nemokama automobilio vieta greta namo.
  
  What could be improved: Nesitikėjau, kad bus taip garsiai girdimas gatvės triukšmas, tramvajus, automobiliai. Buvo sunku išsimiegoti, nes esame pripratę prie tylos naktį. Daugiau viskas buvo puiku 🙂

• Alessia from Italy – 16 December 2024 (10/10)

  Appartamento molto bello e arredato con gusto, oltre che estremamente pulito!
  Nulla è lasciato al caso, tutto è ben curato e l’appartamento risulta nel complesso molto accogliente.
  Abbiamo trovato anche vino e dolcetti di benvenuto che abbiamo gradito molto.
  Posizione ottima, come tutti i servizi offerti dalla struttura.
  Complimenti!
  
  What could be improved: Non c’è nulla di cui possiamo lamentarci o critiche da fare.

• Magdalena from Poland – 2 November 2024 (10/10)

  Wspaniały apartament, bardzo dobrze wyposażony, czysty, przestronny
  
  What could be improved: Do pełni szczęścia brakowało tylko windy ☺️ Ale apartament jest tak wspaniały, że rekompensuje tę niedogodność!!! ❤️

• Jakub from Norway – 28 October 2024 (10/10)

  The accommodation has all necessary amenities and much more. Sauna was great, but also general vibe was uplifting.
  
  What could be improved: So far, best short term rental apartment I’ve been in Gdańsk

• Vinita from Spain – 17 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is so thought through with every detail . You have everything there for cooking , even some much needed toiletries in case you forget yours . Very lovely and clean apartment ☺️
  
  What could be improved: The only thing we did not read before is that there is no elevator and we had heavy luggage 😬 although it did not affect our positive review .

• Anatoli from Lithuania – 12 July 2024 (9/10)

  We traveled with our family (2 adults+2 kids) by car. Parking turned out to be free across the street from the house.
  The apartments were very cozy and comfortable. The hosts sent all the instructions on arrival via Booking.
  Upon arrival we discovered a bottle of fine wine. This was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. A lovely tradition.
  The apartment is equipped with everything we needed. We were provided with a baby crib on request.
  High ceilings and a lovely view from the window. Unusual layout and sauna. The sauna was a nice bonus after tiring walks around the city.
  When we are in Gdansk we will only stay here!
  
  What could be improved: This apartment has two disadvantages.
  1. It is on the penultimate floor of the building. It takes quite a long time to get up because there is no elevator. It will be a problem for elderly people.
  2. There is a road and streetcar tracks nearby. Sometimes you can feel the movement of streetcars and other traffic.
  
  Nevertheless, these apartments have many positive points and this overrides the disadvantages.
