North wave Apartment Merwede

North wave Apartment Merwede Overview

I just spent a weekend at North wave Apartment Merwede on Łamana 7, and honestly, it’s one of those places that feels like a home‑away‑from‑home more than a hotel. The building itself is a charming early‑20th‑century brick structure that locals love because it still has that old‑world feel but with all the comforts of a 4‑star place. When I walked up the stairs, I could smell the faint scent of coffee from the café next door – that little spot on Brzezno that’s famous for its hazelnut pastries. The check‑in was surprisingly smooth; the front desk staff were friendly and let us skip the paper queue, just a quick scan of our IDs and the keys were handed over. The keycard worked for the apartment and the small gym on the top floor – which, by the way, is a nice bonus if you’re into light workouts after a day of sightseeing.

The apartment itself? It’s a bright, airy space with a view that’s hard to beat. From the balcony, you can see the Motława River winding past, and at night the streetlights flicker softly over the old brick walls. The room has a natural, almost earthy texture – wooden floorboards, a linen‑cotton mattress that’s just the right firmness, and a tiny kitchenette that’s surprisingly well‑equipped. I found the Wi‑Fi a bit choppy at first, but the 5G connection in the building usually picks it up later, so that’s not a deal‑breaker. The only thing that gave me a tiny pause was the noise from the street during midday – the cars, the chatter of tourists, the occasional honk – but by 10 p.m. it’s nearly silent, and the building’s insulation does a good job of muffling the din.

Parking is a bit of a juggling act, which is typical for Gdańsk. There’s a small street parking spot right outside the building, but it’s first‑come, first‑served. If you’re staying during the busy summer months, you’ll want to park a little further down – perhaps at the municipal lot near St. Mary’s Church – and walk the short distance. I’d say the daily noise level is moderate; you’ll hear the city’s life but not enough to disturb a quiet night’s sleep. For those of you who love exploring, the hotel’s location on Łamana places you right next to the historic canal and a few steps from the bustling market square, where you can sample pierogi from a street vendor or sip a steaming latte in a cozy café. The staff even shared insider tips on the best local brunch spots and the hidden gem of a small gallery tucked behind the library. All in all, North wave Apartment Merwede blends a laid‑back vibe with the perks of a 4‑star stay, making it a solid choice for travelers who want a taste of authentic Gdańsk without sacrificing comfort.
