Stara Stocznia Apartment

Stara Stocznia Apartment Overview

When I first walked into Stara Stocznia Apartment, the scent of salt and fresh coffee hit me like a warm hug. The lobby is a short, sun‑lit corridor that opens onto a balcony overlooking the old shipyard – you can actually hear the waves crashing against the pier in the distance. The staff greeted me with a quick “Dzień dobry” and handed over the key card with a wink. I was impressed by how fast the check‑in went; the front desk was small but efficient, and there was no waiting line, which is a rarity in a city that’s usually buzzing with tourists. Parking was a bit tricky – there’s a tiny rack behind the building, so most guests drive up the street and then walk in, but the corner of Stara Stocznia and Płaszczka is surprisingly quiet in the mornings, so you can even cycle if you’re up for a little exercise before breakfast.

Inside, the apartment feels like a cozy, well‑thought‑out home. The living area has that rustic charm you get from reclaimed timber walls, and the sofa is a deep‑soft couch that literally sinks into your shoulders. I mean, you could just lie down there and watch the city lights flicker like a distant constellation. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the coffee machine is a real gem – you can almost taste the Polish espresso beans from the corner shop on Zbójnicza Street. There’s a small balcony that faces the harbor, and the view during sunset? Honestly, it’s the kind of moment that makes you forget you’re in a hotel. Noise-wise, the building is fairly soundproof; I could hear the waves and a faint melody of a street musician from Old Town, but the street below is a quiet one, so I slept like a log. The only minor critique is the slightly uneven floorboards in the hallway – they creak when you step on them, but it adds a little character, right?

The real charm of Stara Stocznia Apartment is in the neighborhood. Just a five‑minute walk takes you to the bustling market on Gdańsk Street, where you can grab fresh pierogi and a cup of strong black coffee. If you’re craving something more upscale, the bistro on Gdańska Świt is a hidden gem that serves local trout with a side of wild mushrooms – it’s a bit pricey, but worth the taste of authentic Polish cuisine. For a quieter experience, you can head to the promenade along the Motława River, especially during the early mornings when the city is still waking up; the only sounds are the gulls and a distant train whistle. Seasonal vibes are distinct: in the summer, the beach is a short drive away and the streets are lined with people in light clothing, while winter brings a hush that turns the whole area into a postcard of snow and lanterns. Overall, Stara Stocznia Apartment offers a unique blend of comfort, local flavor, and a vibe that feels more like staying with a friend than checking into a hotel.

  Very good videos from the host, how to enter the garage, or pick up the keys.
  Uncomplicated handover of the keys via secret place and look code.
  The apartment is located central in a very new complex and offers a good garage place to park the car.

  The apartment was in a great location. The host made the check in so easy. Convenient parking for our larger car was provided and we had easy access to all the tourist places and restaurants that we had planned. Highly recommend!

• Aivija from Latvia – 24 November 2022 (1/10)

  What could be improved: It so happened that the day after the refundable reservation, I got into trouble and immediately informed the hosts of my non-arrival. Exceptionally, I would like a full or partial refund for a reservation or change of dates. I offered to make an excuse to send a doctor's note. Unfortunately, the owners did not respond to messages or phone calls for several days. Two days before booking, they replied that if the apartment is booked again, they will help me. After making accommodation reservations, I saw that the apartment was overcrowded. Unfortunately, my request was not granted.
