K2117 Sfinx Grand Tourist Apartmnets Overview

K2117 Sfinx Grand Tourist Apartmnets sits on the less‑traveled stretch of Grobla II, just a stone’s throw from the old port pier. I remember the moment I stepped out of the car and saw the building’s clean brick façade, the way the streetlamp flickered over the cobblestones—it felt like I’d stumbled into a quiet slice of Gdańsk that locals keep in reserve. The check‑in was surprisingly breezy: the front desk staff greeted me with a friendly “Dzień dobry,” handed me a keycard, and a quick tour of the apartment’s layout. I was told the elevators run a tad slower than the city’s newer towers, but honestly, the wait was short enough that I could still catch a bus to the old town by lunch.

The apartment itself is a spacious 50‑square‑meter flat, with a kitchenette that actually has a real fridge and a small espresso machine—great for those who prefer a homemade coffee over the hotel’s generic cup. The living area opens onto a balcony that faces the quiet back alley, where the scent of fresh pierogi from the nearby “Karczma na Skwerze” wafts in the evenings. I love that the floorboards are a warm, dark wood that feels solid underfoot. The bed is surprisingly comfortable for a 4‑star place, and the linens had that subtle, clean scent that makes you want to lie down for a nap. The bathroom boasts a rain shower that’s not too hot, and the tiny but functional storage racks keep towels and toiletries neatly arranged. I did notice that the bathroom light flickers a bit when you close the door—just a minor quirk, nothing that ruins the vibe.

Parking is a bit of a challenge—there’s a small, paid lot behind the building, but it’s limited, so I ended up parking on the street in the early morning hours. The traffic at Grobla II can get noisy around noon, especially with the construction on nearby Zawiszy Street, but the apartment is close enough to a quiet residential block that the noise levels are manageable after 3 pm. I parked my car at 8 am, so I didn’t have to worry about the rush. The apartment’s soundproofing is decent; I could hear the distant chatter of the port but not the traffic rumble from the main road. For travelers who’re sensitive to noise, it’s worth arriving a bit later in the day or opting for the quieter side of the block.

Locally, the area is a hidden gem. The street right next to the hotel, K2117 Sfinx Grand Tourist Apartmnets, is lined with small cafés that serve the best cinnamon rolls in Gdańsk—trust me, you’ll want to try them at 9 am. The nearest tram stop is a quick 5‑minute walk, and you can hop onto line 3 to head straight to the old town’s market square. If you’re into history, the old shipyard museum is just a short bus ride away, and the harbor’s sunset view from the nearby promenade is breathtaking. I’d recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the Gdańsk river at sunset; the light on the water is something you’ll want to capture in your photos.

All in all, K2117 Sfinx Grand Tourist Apartmnets offers a solid 4‑star experience without the usual hotel hype. It’s a place where you can genuinely feel like a local, with the convenience of a home‑like apartment and the charm of a neighborhood tucked away from the main tourist arteries. A tiny drawback is the small kitchenette—if you’re planning a full gourmet stay, the appliances are a bit basic—but for most travelers, the trade‑off is worth it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxed, authentic stay in Gdańsk, especially if you’re looking to avoid the crowds while still being close to the city’s best spots. The staff were friendly, the apartment was clean, and the overall vibe was just right for a memorable trip. Enjoy your stay, and don’t forget to grab a coffee at the local café on Grobla II—your taste buds will thank you.
