PoBookowane River View Apartments Gdańsk

PoBookowane River View Apartments Gdańsk Overview

PoBookowane River View Apartments Gdańsk sits right on the edge of the Motława, a stone’s throw from the historic Long Pier and the hustle of the Old Town. I walked up from the street and the first thing that hit me was the salty breeze mixing with the scent of fresh pierogi from the market stall at the corner of Św. Marcin. The building itself feels like a modern loft, but the façade still carries that old brick charm locals love. When you step inside, the lobby is cozy, with a big wooden table that looks like it belonged in a cottage. The reception desk is manned by a young woman who greeted me with a warm smile and a quick, “Welcome to PoBookowane.” She was friendly, and the check‑in was almost instant – no long queue, just a quick scan of my ID and a digital key. You know what? That’s a relief, because a lot of places in Gdańsk have a slow start.

The apartment itself is a two‑bedroom pad that feels surprisingly spacious for a city room. The living area opens onto a balcony that juts out over the river; I could see the boats bobbing by, and the whole place was bathed in that soft late‑afternoon light. The room smells faintly of sea breeze, which is oddly comforting. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a small stove, a mini‑fridge, and a well‑chosen set of Polish cookware – they even had a traditional Polish jar of smoked fish on display, which I think is a nice touch. I spent a morning brewing a pot of coffee and listening to the distant clatter of the pier, and it felt like I was living in a postcard. The bed was a high‑quality mattress that made it hard to get up – honestly, I slept so well I almost missed the alarm.

Parking is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a small street lot just behind the building that offers a couple of spots, but they’re usually taken by locals. If you’re staying in the peak summer season – say, July to August – you might want to park further down Strzelecka Street and walk a few minutes. The noise level in the apartment is pretty good; the only hiss you hear in the evenings is the river’s gentle rush and the occasional distant horn from a passing barge. I did notice that in the morning, right around 8 a.m., a group of school kids were playing on the promenade, and their laughter was a bit loud, but that’s just the life of the city.

In terms of food, the nearest spot is the fish market on the pier – you can grab a quick sandwich of smoked herring and a glass of local beer right out the door. For a meal, I went down to “Różany Grzbiet” on Słowackiego Street, a small bistro that serves pierogi with a side of homemade sauce; the owner chatted about how the area used to be a fishing village. I also noticed that the building’s windows let in a lot of natural light, which made the interior feel airy and bright – something I appreciate after a day of exploring the cobblestone streets.

Overall, PoBookowane River View Apartments Gdańsk feels like a local’s home rather than a tourist trap. The staff were friendly, the rooms clean, and the location was perfect for walking to both the Old Town and the modern parts of the city. If you’re planning a trip, just remember to bring a pair of comfy shoes for the cobblestones and maybe a light jacket for cooler evenings by the river. The place is honestly worth the price, especially if you appreciate a blend of modern comfort and a touch of that old Polish charm that pervades Gdańsk.

• Tomasz from Poland – 15 November 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Wifi podobno jest, jednak w apartamencie nie odnaleźliśmy na ten temat informacji. A na zapytanie poprzez Booking nie udzielono odpowiedzi, jednak był długi weekend – może najemca też miał wolne 🙂

• Viktor from Czech Republic – 19 August 2024 (9/10)

• Buka from Poland – 20 July 2024 (9/10)

  Everyhing were great, thanks

• Habenicht from Netherlands – 10 May 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location. Our case was a bit unique, as the apartman that we booked via booking.com was not available (they said a kind of an electric issue). We learned this AFTER we landed in Gdansk. We had to book a new one on the street. After we booked, we went to the apartman and in a few minutes we got the code to the door; this was really fast.
  The building is just next to the city centre. The apartman has a nice view to the river. It is equipped with all appliances a tourist needs 🙂 Shops, restaurants are in walking distance. The wifi was good; strong signal and fast enough.
  On the TV we could use our own credentials for streaming.
  They offered a parking spot in the garage for 50 PLN/day, but actually, the area around the building is free parking – if you find a free place – during the day it is busy as there are some government buildings, and I guess the local people know that the other side of the busy road is paid parking and everybody leaves the car here 🙂
  The coffiee machine is for Nespresso coffee pads.
  
  What could be improved: Some bulbs were not working; one in the bathroom, one in the living room, one in the small "bedroom".
  We were there at the beginning of May, 20-25 Celsius outside and the aparman was a bit warm. I guess, it is warm in the summer (there was a mobile air conditioner; we did not use it).
  The matras in the bedroom was not too comfortable.
  Some of the glasses were missing; it was just 1 (one) glass for wine, and 2 (two) mugs for tea/coffee. Also, there are just 4+1 chairs although it is advertised for 6 people (we were five).
