Lunette Apartments

Lunette Apartments Overview

Lunette Apartments sits on Ul. Za Murami, right where the old town’s cobblestone lanes start to feel a little less touristy and a lot more local. I remember the first time I pulled into the small, covered parking right outside the building—no giant parking garages, just a couple of bays you can snag if you’re early. The attendants was super friendly, even handed me a map of the nearest tram stop (Stop 4, line 2) and a quick tip that the 7‑am ferry to the waterfront’s a great way to beat the morning rush. Check‑in was breezy; the front desk had a digital keypad that let you skip the line, and the keycard slid into the room with a satisfying click that felt more like a secret handshake than a key fob. The lobby itself, a clean white space with a touch of industrial chic, had a barista stand that served coffee from a local roaster—flavorfully bitter, and the aroma of fresh pastries from the bakery on the corner of Gdańsk’s main market could drift in through the open windows when the city’s chatter was louder.

The apartment itself is a 4‑star affair that feels more like a home than a hotel—lots of natural light, and the balcony (I mean, the little terrace you get in the corner rooms) lets you hear the city’s pulse: the distant hum of buses, the clatter of bicycles, and the occasional shout from a street vendor selling pierogies that smell like warm dough and oregano. I found the beds surprisingly plush; the linens had a linen-scented feel that reminded me of the sea breeze off the Motława River. The bathroom, though a bit on the cramped side, had a rain shower that made the room feel airy. The kitchenette was surprisingly well-equipped for a traveler on the go—there’s a small fridge, a kettle, and a few spice jars that look like they were donated by a local family who lives on the next floor. Every night, I’d fire up a mug of tea and watch the city lights flicker from the tiny window, and you can hear the distant bells from St. Mary’s Church ringing in the background, but the noise is just enough to keep you from feeling isolated, not so loud that you can’t sleep.

Walking out, the street that runs parallel to Ul. Za Murami is lined with little cafés that locals swear by. I’m talking about the one at Kapińska, where you can sit on a wooden bench and watch fishermen unload their catch from the harbor. If you’re in the city after dark, the bar scene on Ostryńska is a must‑visit; I’d recommend the tiny speakeasy that’s tucked behind a false door—excellent craft cocktails and a relaxed vibe. The best thing, honestly, is the sense of time here: during the summer, the area can get a bit boisterous, but early mornings and late evenings are almost serene—just the soft murmur of the city and the distant gulls. If you’re planning to stay during the Christmas market, be prepared for a crush of tourists, but the holiday lights will make the narrow streets feel like a fairytale. For those who love a bit of adventure, just a short walk away is the old train station that now houses a funky art gallery and a tiny café with the best coffee in the city.

Overall, Lunette Apartments is a solid pick for anyone who wants to feel the heartbeat of Gdańsk without paying the premium for a flagship hotel. The place is clean, comfortable, and the staff’s friendly, informal approach really makes it feel like you’re staying with a friend who knows the best spots. So, pack a bag, bring an appetite for pierogies, and get ready to experience Gdańsk like a local—just remember to bring your own charger, because the rooms are super bright and it can drain your phone battery faster than you think. The vibe here is all about blending modern comfort with a touch of historic charm, and I can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a genuine, no‑frills stay that still feels special.
