Tarasowy – Neptun Park by OneApartments

Tarasowy – Neptun Park by OneApartments Overview

Tarasowy – Neptun Park by OneApartments sits on 32 Wypoczynkowa, right where the old town’s cobbles fade into the modern bustle of Gdańsk’s main thoroughfare. I got there on a rainy Thursday afternoon, and the lobby was this unexpected mix of minimalist chic and warm, maritime touches – a nod, I think, to the Motława that runs just a stone’s throw away. The reception desk was staffed by a young man who, honestly, seemed more like a local guide than a hotel employee; he handed me a digital key and a quick rundown of the building’s quirks, like the elevator that takes a tiny extra second on the third floor because it’s perched just above the city’s old waterworks. The check‑in was smooth, no long line, and the staff’s friendly nods made me feel like I’d almost known them before.

The room itself is a cozy blend of nautical blues and soft neutrals, with a view that’s nothing short of a postcard of the old harbor. The windows open out onto a small balcony where you can hear the distant clatter of trams on Gdańska Street and the occasional splash of the river. The bed was surprisingly plush for a four‑star, and the bathroom’s rainfall shower was a welcome indulgence after a day strolling through the cobblestones of Stare Miasto. I found the kitchenette surprisingly well‑equipped – a kettle, a small fridge, and a set of basic cookware, so I could brew my own espresso and keep the morning quiet, no loud breakfast buffet crowds. Parking was a bit of a hassle: the underground lot is a short walk from the hotel, but you’ll need to pay a fair price, and the meter spots are often filled by the locals on Saturday mornings. Noise-wise, the hotel’s own rooftop bar can be lively around late Friday nights, but otherwise the building’s thick walls keep the street hum to a gentle background hum, especially after 9 pm.

What really makes Tarasowy – Neptun Park by OneApartments stand out is its proximity to the hidden gems that only the locals swear by. Just a 10‑minute stroll east, you hit the Żuraw (the Crane), a medieval marvel that’s both a photo op and a great spot for a quiet coffee at the nearby Café w Dworze. If you’re into markets, the St. Mary’s Market on Wyspa Spichrzowa is a short detour, with fresh fish, pierogi stalls, and the aroma of fresh bread that’ll linger in your memory long after you leave. I’d say the best time to visit is late spring or early autumn – the summer crowds are huge, and the winter chill makes the streets a bit less inviting. The only downside is that the hotel’s lobby can feel a little cold in the winter, but the staff usually offer a complimentary cup of hot chocolate to warm you up. Overall, Tarasowy – Ne
