Porto by Comfort Apartments

Porto by Comfort Apartments Overview

Porto by Comfort Apartments is tucked into a quiet corner of Bernarda Filarskiego, a street that feels like a secret passage through old Gdańsk. I arrived just after the last tram had rattled out of the city center, and the check‑in desk was already buzzing with locals who were eager to get a taste of the winter heat. The staff were friendly without being overly formal—one of the girls let me in a little early because she heard I was a regular of the area. Parking is surprisingly straightforward; there’s a small, private lot just a block away that you can reserve in advance, and if you’re unlucky, the city parking on Gdańska Street fills up by noon, but I found an empty spot in the alley behind the bakery that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden treasure.

The apartment itself is a mix of sleek, modern touches and a warm, lived‑in vibe that you only get when a place has been used by people, not just tourists. I was seated on the balcony, and the first thing you notice is the window that looks out onto the cobblestones of the old town. The city’s lullaby—the distant clatter of trams, the soft sigh of the Baltic breeze—fills the space with a sense of belonging. The room’s texture is a blend of soft linens and a worn, leather armchair that has seen better days but still feels like home. Honestly, the mattress was a decent compromise between firmness and comfort; I slept through the night, which is not something you can say about every place in the city.

The only real drawback was that the elevator’s motor was a bit noisy on the second floor, but that’s a minor quibble in a city where you’re surrounded by the hum of history. I’ve been to other 4‑star spots that promise “world‑class amenities,” but here the real luxury was in the little details: a local artist’s framed photos on the wall, a kettle that whistles every morning, and a small fridge stocked with local cheeses and a bottle of chilled white wine. After a day of wandering, I was glad to return to a space that smelled faintly of fresh bread from the bakery on Gdańska Street—just a stone’s throw away—mixed with the subtle aroma of the apartment’s own vanilla-scented candles.

By the time the sun dipped behind the Old Town Hall, the city’s noise level dropped to a gentle murmur. I could hear a violinist from the nearby street corner playing a lullaby that made the whole area feel like a living postcard. If you’re looking for a place that offers more than just a bed, Porto by Comfort Apartments delivers. Its 4‑star rating (9.3) and the genuine care put into every corner make it feel less like a hotel and more like a friend’s home that you’re lucky enough to borrow. The only thing I’d suggest is arriving before the peak tourist season in July, because the nearby Main Market Square gets a bit of a rush, and you’ll want to keep your evening plans simple if you’re looking for quiet. All in all, if you want an authentic slice of Gdańsk that feels like you’ve stumbled upon a local’s favorite spot, this place is a stellar choice.
