Scala Apartments by HappyStay Overview
Scala Apartments by HappyStay sits on the quiet corner of 60 Łąkowa, tucked just a stone’s throw from the bustling Main Market Square. I walked in on a crisp autumn morning, the city still humming with the distant clatter of trams and the scent of freshly baked pierogi drifting from a nearby bakery. Check‑in was smoother than I expected: a friendly front‑desk lady handed me a key card with a quick smile, though the Wi‑Fi password was a little cryptic—she had to walk me through the log‑in page, which felt like a small, unnecessary detour. The apartment itself is a neat, well‑furnished flat, with a living area that spills out onto a balcony overlooking the cobblestone streets. You can hear the faint chatter of tourists and the occasional splash from the Motława River, giving the place a lively yet relaxed vibe.
I spent the afternoon wandering down the nearby streets, stopping at a little café on Gdańska that serves the best homemade poppy seed cake—honestly, it was a highlight. The building’s parking is a bit of a hassle: there’s a paid lot a block away, and street parking is scarce during peak season, but the staff were helpful and even offered a voucher for a nearby garage. Noise wise, the apartment is surprisingly quiet for the area, thanks to the double‑glazed windows, though you can still feel the pulse of the city when the tram passes by. One thing I noticed was the slight plumbing hiccup in the bedroom’s sink—just a dripping tap that could use a quick fix, but nothing that kept me up at night. The air circulation is decent, and the linens feel like a soft, inviting hug after a day of exploring.
Evenings at Scala Apartments by HappyStay are a treat: the balcony lights cast a warm glow on the street below, and the sound of a distant accordion playing Gdańsk’s folk tunes adds a touch of local charm. I found myself sipping a glass of chilled white wine, listening to the city’s nocturnal soundtrack—the murmur of conversations, the distant hum of nightlife, and the occasional gull cry from the river. During the summer months, the building’s proximity to the waterfront means the air carries a salty tang, and the evenings can get a bit cooler, so I brought a light jacket. The staff were genuinely friendly, and one of the housekeepers mentioned that the apartment’s two‑story layout makes it a comfortable space for solo travelers or small couples—no awkwardly cramped rooms, just a comfortable, well‑planned layout. All in all, staying here felt like having a cozy, reliable home base in the heart of Gdańsk, with all the local flavor and practical conveniences you’d need for a memorable trip.
Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

Room had everything we needed to be comfortable. It's so great, I want to keep it as my little secret 😊
