Sunny Sobieszewo

Sunny Sobieszewo Overview

Sunny Sobieszewo sits right on Wiosłowa 21, a block away from the cobblestone promenade that hugs the Baltic. I remember pulling up to the front and seeing the tiny white awning over the door—simple, but it gave the place a home‑y feel. The reception desk is manned by a woman who knows the whole street, and she handed me a map with tiny ink‑dotted lines pointing to the best spots: the old fish market on Lekińska, the quirky art gallery on Olszewska, and, if you’re into sunsets, the tiny pier at Przymorze. Check‑in was smooth, no long queue, and they even handed me a small bottle of local craft beer as a welcome. I mean, that’s a touch you don’t get at every four‑star hotel.

The room itself is a surprisingly cozy mix of modern and nautical. I slept in a king‑size bed that felt like a cloud, but the real star was the window overlooking the beach. I could hear gulls and the distant hum of the harbor, and sometimes the wind would carry that salty tang of sea spray into the room—like a natural lullaby. The bathroom had a rain shower that was practically a spa, and the linens had that buttery softness you forget you’re in a hotel. It’s the little bits like the glow-in-the-dark showerheads (yes, they exist, and they’re a hit with kids) that make the stay feel special. Even the small reading lamp on the nightstand had this warm amber light that made late‑night reading feel almost prophetic. Parking was a breeze too—there’s a small paid lot just behind the building, and I never had to circle for an inch of space. The only downside was that the lobby floor is a bit uneven, so watch your step when you’re carrying a bag.

When I stepped outside, the street was alive with the smells of fresh pierogi and grilled fish from the stalls at the Market Square. I walked to the nearby Młynarska street, where there’s a little café that serves the best espresso and a tiny bakery that still uses a wood‑burning oven—yeah, the scent of rye bread was mouth‑watering. The hotel’s location means you can catch a tram to the Old Town in under 15 minutes; the bus stop is right next to the building, and the route is usually free of heavy traffic because the city’s traffic lights are synchronized for tourist routes. The only rough patch is at night when the streetlights flicker a bit—nothing major, just a subtle hum that reminds you you’re in a city that never really sleeps. I also checked out the nearby park, where locals gather for yoga sessions at dawn; I watched a few people stretch on the grass, and it felt like a quiet, communal ritual. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that feels like a local’s home but still has a bit of polish, Sunny Sobieszewo is a sweet spot. It’s not your typical tourist trap, and the staff’s genuine warmth made the whole stay feel like a welcomed detour rather than just another hotel night. This place, with its blend of seaside charm, practical perks, and that unmistakable Gdańsk vibe, is definitely worth a visit—especially in the shoulder season when the crowds thin out but the city’s pulse remains steady.
