SUNRISE HOME APARTMENTS – LIGHTHOUSE

SUNRISE HOME APARTMENTS – LIGHTHOUSE Overview

SUNRISE HOME APARTMENTS – LIGHTHOUSE sits on 37 Sucha, right on the edge of the old town’s cobblestone maze. When I first pulled up the GPS, a quick stop at the nearby parking garage on Złota was painless—there’s a decent number of spaces, and the attendants are friendly enough to give you a quick tour of the underground levels, which is a nice touch for a 4‑star spot. The check‑in was almost instant; the front desk lady had a warm smile and even handed me a small map of the city’s secret spots, which you know is a rarity in Poland. I mean, the usual hotels give you a brochure, but she actually told me where to find the best pierogi on Głowa Street. The lobby itself is airy, with a subtle scent of fresh linen and a faint hum of the city outside, especially during the rush hour when the trams clatter by the corner of Sucha and Wysza. The noise level inside is surprisingly low—just enough to remind you that you’re in a lively city but not so much that you can’t hear yourself think.

Walking outside, the first thing you notice is that the building’s façade is a charming blend of modern glass and the historic brick that characterizes Gdańsk’s old quarter. The apartment I stayed in was a compact but functional space, with a kitchenette that actually had a coffee maker, a microwave, and a set of well‑made knives—small details that made my stay feel more like home than a hotel room. The bed was plush, and the linens felt like you’d be sleeping in a boutique hotel in Paris, honestly. The ensuite bathroom had a rain shower, which is a luxury that’s not always guaranteed at this price point. The view from the balcony? A panoramic sweep of the old market square, especially beautiful at sunrise—hence the name, I guess. I woke up to the distant bells of St. Mary’s Church, and the street below was buzzing with the early morning market vendors selling fresh rye bread and smoked fish. The only minor critique? The Wi‑Fi signal can be a bit spotty if you’re on the upper floors, but a quick reset usually fixes it. The apartment also came with a small fridge, which was a lifesaver for late‑night snacks after a day of exploring.

If you’re planning a trip during the shoulder seasons—late spring or early autumn—you’ll find the city a bit quieter, and SUNRISE HOME APARTMENTS – LIGHTHOUSE feels even cozier. The staff is incredibly accommodating, and I was surprised to learn that they host a free beer tasting session on Tuesdays, featuring local craft brews from the Gdańsk Brewery. I took part, and the stories from the bartender about the city’s maritime history were as engaging as the beer itself. For foodies, the area around 37 Sucha offers a maze of eateries: from the cozy trattoria on Rębiechowa Street to the bustling fish market on the waterfront. The best part? You can walk from the hotel to the Royal Way (Ulica Królewska) in under ten minutes, which is perfect for a leisurely stroll with a coffee in hand. The only downside is that the street can get a bit noisy around midnight, especially if you’re staying in the upstairs rooms, but the building’s insulation does a decent job at dampening the traffic sounds.

Overall, staying at SUNRISE HOME APARTMENTS – LIGHTHOUSE felt like having a trusted friend’s apartment in the heart of Gdańsk. The blend of modern comforts and local charm, the thoughtful touches from the staff, and the unbeatable location make it a standout choice for travelers who want more than just a place to sleep. If you’re looking for an authentic slice of life in the city, with easy access to the old town’s historic sites and a touch of seaside breezes, this is where you’ll want to check in. Just remember to book early if you’re planning a visit during the summer festivals, because the city’s energy is contagious and the rooms tend to fill up fast.
