Marine by OneApartments

Marine by OneApartments Overview

Marine by OneApartments is tucked just off Wypoczynkowa 38 in the heart of Gdańsk, and honestly, it’s the kind of spot that feels like a secret kept between locals and tourists who know where to look. I arrived around noon, and the first thing that hit me was the smell of the sea mixed with fresh baked rye bread—yes, I mean that smell that drifts in through the open windows when the harbor breeze comes in. The lobby is surprisingly cozy; a few mismatched chairs, a low coffee table that looks like it belongs in a studio apartment, and a wall covered in black‑and‑white photos of the old port. I could almost hear the distant clack of the tram as it passes by the nearby Marine by OneApartments street corner, and you can see the old shipyards in the distance, still humming with activity.

Check‑in was quick, but what I liked most was the staff’s familiarity with the area. They recommended the Marine by OneApartments’s own rooftop terrace for a sunset drink—trust me, the view of the Motława River is unbeatable. They also pointed me to the street market on St. Catherine’s Street, where you can grab a slice of pierogi and a cold beer from a vendor who knows your name. Parking isn’t a hassle because the building has a small underground garage that’s usually empty by 8 p.m. And the noise level? Pretty decent. The only thing that sometimes rumbles is the distant traffic on Wypoczynkowa, but that’s just a reminder that you’re right in the middle of the city.

The room itself is a blend of modern and nautical. The bed is super comfortable—plush but not too squishy—and the curtains are thick enough to block out the street light, so you can actually sleep during the night. I noticed that the minibar is stocked with local craft beers and a few bottles of Polish vodka, which is a nice touch. The bathroom? It’s got a glass shower that looks out onto the city skyline, and the tiles are a cool blue that feels like a slice of the sea. I spent a good hour just scrolling through the Wi‑Fi speeds, and the connection is solid—no buffering even when a live concert starts on the street below.

If you’re planning a trip in the summer, you’ll find the street is bustling with tourists, but the atmosphere is still relaxed because the hotel offers a small garden with a couple of hammocks—perfect for a quick nap while you wait for the tram to the old town. In the winter, the area gets a bit colder, but the building’s central heating keeps the rooms toasty. The staff is always friendly, and they’ve got a knack for making you feel like a regular. They even let me borrow a pair of winter boots when I slipped on the icy steps.

Overall, staying at Marine by OneApartments felt like getting a slice of the city’s everyday pulse. The hotel’s location is a sweet spot—close enough to the old town to wander at a leisurely pace, yet far enough to escape the constant chatter of tourists. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a place to sleep, this one offers a genuine slice of Gdańsk life, complete with authentic local vibes, easy access to street food, and a rooftop that turns into a sunset party spot. I left with a bag full of memories, a few extra pierogi, and the feeling that I’d discovered a hidden gem that’s still as lively as it was when I first set foot inside.
