Platinium Red Brick Apartment – Bema

Platinium Red Brick Apartment – Bema Overview

Platinium Red Brick Apartment – Bema is tucked into a quiet corner of 9 Generała Józefa Bema, right where the historic Old Town meets the modern buzz of Gdańsk. I remember stepping out of the metro at Gdańsk Główny and walking past the iconic amber‑lit Piwna Street, only to find the building’s façade clad in warm, almost velvet‑red bricks that look like something straight out of a storybook. The check‑in was surprisingly breezy – a friendly front desk clerk handed me a keycard with a smile, and the little brass doorbell rings a soft chime that says, “You’re home.” I was greeted with a welcome basket that already had a bottle of local “Żubrówka” and a note in Polish: “Ciesz się pobytem!” (Enjoy your stay!)

Inside, the apartment feels like a cozy loft more than a hotel, which is the best part. The living area is open and airy, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that flood the space with daylight, especially in the mornings when the city wakes up with the kettle’s hiss and the distant call of street vendors selling pierogi. The furniture is a mix of mid‑century polish and contemporary chic – a leather sofa that’s just the right amount of lumpy, a wooden coffee table that’s a little rough around the edges but adds character, and a vintage lamp that casts a warm glow for those late‑night Netflix marathons. The kitchenette is surprisingly functional; I was able to whip up a quick breakfast of fresh bread from the local bakery on Motława, a cup of strong espresso, and a slice of cheesecake from the shop on Leniwa Street. Oh, and the Wi‑Fi password is printed on a tiny card that says “Wifi: GdańskLove” – handy for when you’re trying to catch up on that travel vlog you promised yourself.

The bedroom is a dream – a large queen bed with linens that feel like a cloud, and a tiny balcony that offers a view of the cobblestone street below, where the morning light paints the bricks in gold. I fell asleep to the gentle hum of the city and the occasional distant siren. In the evenings, the apartment doesn’t get too noisy, though you can hear the faint chatter from the nearby café on Ulica Głogowska. If you’re a night owl, the apartment’s windows are well‑sealed, so you’ll only hear the occasional car passing on the street and the soft hiss of the radiator. The bathroom is clean, with a rain shower that feels like a mini spa (though the water pressure is a bit on the low side, especially on weekends). The only thing that’s kinda a hassle is the parking – there’s a small street lot a block away, but you’ll need to walk uphill with your luggage, and during the summer peak season, it can get crowded.

What makes Platinium Red Brick Apartment – Bema truly special is its proximity to the real Gdańsk you want to explore. From the apartment, you can stroll down to the St. Mary’s Church in 15 minutes, or hop over to the Royal Way (Ulica Królewska) where the amber‑colored bricks of the old merchant houses line the street. I spent an afternoon at the Gdańsk Crane – the wooden structure that’s been standing since the 14th century – and the view from the top was worth every step up the ladder. If you’re a foodie, you can’t miss the market on Czaimowskiego Street, where fresh fish, pierogi, and local cheeses are a daily delight. I even found a hidden gem of a bakery on Długa Street that sells the best cinnamon rolls in town. For peace and quiet, just head to the nearby park on Piłsudskiego Street – the gentle rustle of trees is a perfect soundtrack for a Sunday morning coffee.

Honestly, Platinium Red Brick Apartment – Bema is a gem. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a place that feels like a neighbor’s living room, with a touch of luxury and a lot of local flavor. Whether you’re in Gdańsk for a quick getaway or a longer stay, I’d recommend it without a second thought. Just remember to bring a light jacket for the evenings, and maybe a small backpack for the day trips, because the city’s streets are a bit uneven and the best sights are a short walk away. You’ll be glad you chose this spot – it feels like you’re part of the city’s living, breathing history, with all the modern comforts you could ask for.

Gdansk’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Baltic charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this historically significant Polish coastal city.
