SPA Waterlane Island Deluxe 2 by Grand Apartments

SPA Waterlane Island Deluxe 2 by Grand Apartments Overview

SPA Waterlane Island Deluxe 2 by Grand Apartments is tucked away at 63 Chmielna, just a stone’s throw from the bustling heart of Gdańsk. I remember the first time I walked up the cobblestones, the scent of fresh pierogi from the nearby “Pod Łososiem” café already mingling with the salty sea air off the Motława. The front desk was friendly—no long lines, just a quick swipe of your ID and a warm smile. They handed me a key card with a little “welcome” note in Polish, which felt like a personal touch. Parking is a bit of a hunt; the nearest spot is on Czarnego Służba Street, a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, but it’s worth it because the hotel itself has a small underground parking space for guests if you book in advance.

Once inside, the lobby is surprisingly cozy, with a mix of industrial chic and local art. The staff actually know the area, so they pointed out that the best sunset spot is on the pier near the old lighthouse—just a ten‑minute stroll from the lobby. The room I stayed in had a tasteful décor with a view of the river; the curtains were heavy, so the morning light filtered in softly, making the room feel like a quiet sanctuary. I had a decent Wi‑Fi connection, which is a relief because the city’s public Wi‑Fi can be spotty. The bathroom was spotless, and the shower had that invigorating mineral water you get in many Polish spas—felt like a mini‑relaxation session after a day of walking. The minibar had a few local craft beers, which I actually tried before I even had a chance to check out the city.

The real charm of SPA Waterlane Island Deluxe 2 by Grand Apartments lies in its proximity to the old town. After lunch, I wandered down to the Gdańsk Crane and the Royal Way, and the hotel’s location made it easy to hop back for a quick coffee at the “Kawiarnia Młyn” near the quay. The noise level is surprisingly low; even though it’s close to the harbor, the building’s insulation keeps the waves and the occasional boat horn at a manageable distance. It does get a bit lively around 8 pm as locals and tourists mingle in the square, but the hotel’s bar offers a quiet corner where you can sip a glass of red and watch the city lights flicker. One small critique: the elevator is a bit slow, so if you’re in a hurry, you might want to take the stairs—though you’ll get a great view of the river on the way up.

Overall, I’d say SPA Waterlane Island Deluxe 2 by Grand Apartments is a solid 4‑star spot that delivers on comfort without the usual tourist fluff. It’s perfect if you’re looking to stay near the water, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, and have easy access to Gdańsk’s historic sites. The staff are genuinely helpful, the rooms are clean and well-appointed, and the location is prime for both early‑morning city strolls and late‑night river walks. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, this place is definitely worth a stop—just remember to book parking in advance and maybe bring a stone‑weight bag for the walk to the pier, because you’ll want to keep your feet nice and rested for the next day’s adventures.
