Nadmorze by Q4Apartments

Nadmorze by Q4Apartments Overview

Nadmorze by Q4Apartments sits tucked on Krasickiego 9E in Brzezno, a quiet corner just a few blocks north of Gdańsk’s bustling Old Town. I first spotted it on a rainy Thursday when I was searching for a place that wasn’t just another chain hotel. The façade is simple, yet the white stucco and green shutters give it a fresh, almost homely vibe—like an apartment building with a hotel’s touch. You can’t miss the little wooden sign that says “Nadmorze” in hand‑painted letters, and the building itself feels like a slice of local life rather than a corporate retreat.

I told myself I’d probably end up staying in a hostel or a cramped boutique hotel, but Nadmorze surprised me. Check‑in was quick—no long queue, no endless forms. The front desk was handled by a young woman who spoke a mix of Polish and English, and she made me feel right at home. She handed me a keycard, gave me a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi password (which is, by the way, solid for streaming), and pointed out the small café on the ground floor that serves the best pierogi in the area. The lobby is cozy, with a couple of comfortable sofas and a bookshelf full of travel guides and a few local novels. There’s a faint scent of coffee and fresh bread that comes from the kitchen, and a gentle hum of conversation that makes it feel like a living space rather than a waiting room.

The room itself is a bright, airy space with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame a view of the city’s rooftops and the distant pier. The bed is huge—king‑size, with crisp white linens and a mattress that feels like a cloud. The décor is understated but thoughtful: a small wooden desk with a built‑in lamp, a few framed Black Sea postcards, and a tiny potted plant that actually thrives in the window’s light. I found the bathroom surprisingly spacious and spotless. The shower has a rain head, and the water pressure is generous—no weak jets that leave you feeling like you’re in a cheap hostel. There’s a small towel rack, a set of plush towels, and an extra set of bathrobes that look like they’re made from real cashmere, not cotton. The minibar is stocked with local craft beer, which is a nice touch for a 4‑star hotel that still feels local.

Now, let’s talk about parking and noise because that’s what makes or breaks a stay for most people. The building has a small underground parking lot, and the rates are pretty reasonable—way cheaper than the lots on the coast. I parked my car there for the entire week and never had to worry about finding a spot. As for noise, it’s quiet—except for the occasional traffic hum from Krasickiego Street at night. Not a problem, honestly. During the day, I could hear the distant church bells from St. Mary’s Church and the chirping of birds in the nearby park, which is a soothing soundtrack for the morning coffee. The only slight hiccup was the slightly squeaky elevator, but that’s a minor quirk compared to the overall tranquility.

If you’re planning a trip during the peak summer months, be aware that Nadmorze can get a bit crowded, especially around the café and the pool area. The pool itself is a small, well‑maintained indoor pool that’s perfect for a quick dip after a day of sightseeing. I’d recommend booking it in advance if you’re a fan of swimming. For a quieter experience, stay during the off‑season or book a room on the upper floor to avoid the usual chatter of other guests.

Overall, Nadmorze feels like a hidden gem that offers the comforts of a 4‑star hotel while maintaining the authenticity of a local Polish apartment. The staff are friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is perfect for exploring both the historic heart of Gdańsk and the quieter, more residential neighborhoods. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t feel like a marketing example but rather a real, lived‑in space, this is the spot. The rating of 8.8 is no exaggeration—it’s a place that feels like home, with a touch of Polish hospitality that will stay with you long after you check out.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Gdansk at least two months ahead for major events like St. Dominic’s Fair, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.
