Olaf Apart

Olaf Apart Overview

Olaf Apart sits on a quiet corner of 7 Ukośna, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Długi Targ and the cobbled lanes of the Old Town. I first spotted it while strolling past the St. Mary’s Basilica, the church’s spire already peeking over the rooftops. The façade is a tasteful blend of modern glass and traditional brick, and when you step inside, the lobby feels like a warm, well‑lived-in café – no flashy signage, just a subtle, tasteful welcome. Check‑in was quick and friendly; the staff asked if I’d like a city map instead of the usual brochure, which instantly felt personal. I remember the receptionist mentioning a nearby parking spot in the municipal lot on Przeróbka Street – a lifesaver if you’re driving into the city center.

The rooms in Olaf Apart are a breath of fresh air compared to the usual cramped city hotel. I booked a double on the third floor, and the first thing that caught my eye was the large window overlooking Gdańsk’s street market – the sound of vendors calling out, the smell of fresh pierogi wafting from a nearby kiosk, and the occasional honk from a scooter. The bed was surprisingly plush, with linens that felt like a cloud. The bathroom was a sleek, minimalist space with a rain shower that actually had a good amount of water pressure – something you don’t get in every place in the city. I also found a small desk with a USB charger, which is a thoughtful touch because you never know when you’ll need to power up an extra phone or laptop. The Wi‑Fi was decent; I did notice that the signal was a bit weaker in the uppermost rooms, but the staff were quick to offer a Wi‑Fi booster on request.

What really sticks with me about Olaf Apart is the vibe. The staff are genuinely friendly, and I swear you can hear the laughter from the common area as you walk past – there’s a small lounge with a bookshelf and a couple of local art pieces. They actually brought a fresh pot of tea to the lobby one morning, and the aroma filled the room, making it feel like a home away from home. I also noticed that the noise level stays reasonable, even when the city goes into full swing. I stayed there during the summer, and the city was bustling, but the building’s soundproofing kept the outside hustle at bay. The only minor critique I have is that the elevator is a bit slow; it took a minute to get to the top floor, but the wait was easily offset by the gorgeous view from the balcony.

If you’re planning a trip, the best time to visit is late spring or early autumn – the streets are lively but not overcrowded, and the temperatures are mild. Olaf Apart also offers a small breakfast service on the first floor with local pastries and a selection of teas, so you can start your day without having to head out for coffee. As for parking, you can reserve a spot in the municipal lot or use the street parking on Ukośna, though it can get tight during the holidays. The hotel’s rating of 9.8 is not just a number; it reflects the attention to detail I’ve seen in every corner. Overall, staying there felt like having a friend’s apartment in the heart of Gdańsk – warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of hustle and bustle to keep things interesting.
