Ocean Mint – Apartamenty przy plaży

Ocean Mint – Apartamenty przy plaży Overview

Ocean Mint – Apartamenty przy plaży sits right on the edge of Gdańsk’s sandy strip, a short stroll from the old‑town’s cobblestones and the ever‑buzzing St. Mariacka Market Square. The moment you step into the lobby, you’re hit with that unmistakable mix of sea salt and freshly brewed coffee—an aroma that feels like a warm hug from the city itself. I remember the check‑in being almost a ceremony: the staff, all wearing those bright blue vests, greeted me with a cheerful “Dzień dobry!” and handed over a key card that looked like a tiny piece of the Baltic. Practicality wins here—there’s a small parking bay right off Jelitkowska, and the shuttle to the city center runs every 15 minutes, so you never have to worry about a cab in the rain.

The rooms are spacious, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the endless horizon. The light that pours in is the kind that makes you forget you’re even in a hotel; you can hear the gulls overhead and, at night, the distant sea‑shanties from the harbor. I found the bed super comfortable—plush pillows that don’t flatten after a good night’s sleep. A small but practical kitchenette lets you whip up a quick snack, and the kitchenette’s stainless‑steel appliances gleam like a secret. I even spotted a little plaque in Polish that says “Witamy w Gdańsku” (Welcome to Gdańsk), a detail that feels like a personal nod from the owners. The only downside was the noise from the street at 2 a.m. when buses were passing by, but honestly, it’s just the city breathing.

When it’s time to step out, the real charm of Ocean Mint shows up. Just a block away is the historic St. Mary’s Basilica, its iconic tower looming over the Old Town, and you can feel the buzz of local life as people wander by the pier. If you’re a foodie, check out the little café on Jelitkowska that serves pierogi and has the best coffee in town—no pretentiousness, just honest, hearty fare. For a quiet afternoon, you can head to the park by the harbor; the breeze is always gentle, and the sound of waves is the perfect soundtrack to a lazy day. Seasonal traffic peaks in July, so expect a lively crowd, but early mornings and late evenings are usually calm, giving you a chance to enjoy the sea without the usual tourist bustle. All in all, Ocean Mint blends the laid‑back vibe of a seaside retreat with the convenience and warmth of a local friend’s home, making it a spot I keep recommending to anyone who wants the real Gdańsk experience.
