Marina Residence by NorthSide Apartments

Marina Residence by NorthSide Apartments Overview

Marina Residence by NorthSide Apartments sits on Czarny Dwór 10B, a quiet corner just a stone’s throw from Gdańsk’s bustling Old Town. If you’re walking straight past the red‑brick facades of the medieval market square, you’ll see the hotel’s low‑profile entrance with a wrought‑iron sign that feels more like a home than a place to sleep. I remember the first time I checked in – the staff were quick, but they still took a moment to show me the digital key system on my phone and handed me a small booklet with local tips. It’s the kind of personal touch that makes you feel like a friend rather than a guest.

After a quick stroll through the cobbled streets, you’ll find yourself at the marina itself – the salty air mixing with the faint scent of frying fish from a nearby pier. The hotel offers a small terrace that faces the harbor; I sat there around sunset, sipping a glass of local white wine and listening to the gulls chatter. The noise level is surprisingly low; you can hear the waves but not the bustle of the city, except when the harbor comes alive with boats at dawn or night. Parking is a breeze – there’s a small on‑site lot, and if you prefer street parking, the numbers are easy to read and usually free up by 10 p.m. (just watch out for the monthly permits on the curb). The rooms themselves are a blend of modern polish and nautical charm; the linens feel like a hug, and the windows offer a view of the city lights reflecting on the water. Honestly, the breakfast spread is a highlight – fresh rye bread, smoked salmon, and a pot of strong Polish coffee that wakes you up better than any alarm.

What really makes Marina Residence by NorthSide Apartments stand out is how it feels like a piece of the city, not just a stopover. A short walk east takes you to the St. Mary’s Church, where the bell tower echoes through the streets; a few minutes west, and you’re at the Old Town’s “Długi Targ” square, buzzing with street performers and cafés. The hotel’s location is perfect for early‑morning joggers who want to run along the promenade and finish at the hotel for a quick shower before heading out again. And for those late‑night travelers, the hotel’s proximity to the train station means you can hop on a night train to Warsaw without the hassle of carrying luggage through the city. I’ve also heard from a few locals that the management keeps the noise from the marina at bay by installing solid soundproofing in the rooms – which is a win‑win for those who want the view without the rumble. All in all, Marina Residence by NorthSide Apartments feels like a home that’s just a step away from the historic heart of Gdańsk, and it’s the kind of place you’d recommend to friends with a sense of adventure and a love of genuine, laid‑back hospitality.
