Victus Apartamenty, Apartament Grand

Fantastic location just outside of the hustle and bustle. Incredibly close to the beach, parks, cafés and all other needs. Vast apartment with multiple rooms, high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Functional kitchen and bathroom with lots of hot water and decent pressure. Lots of towels and blankets provided.

Minor things. The apartment smelled of cigarettes when we arrived. We couldn't get the vacuum to work, despite it being a model with which we are familiar. The curtains/blinds do not block light very well. The beds were ok, although the bed in the first room on the left was not very comfortable.

The apartment was on the first floor, so only one flight of stairs to reach it. The location was mostly quiet and only a few minutes walk from the main road, the Hotel Grand, the sandy beach and not far from the long wooden pier. The apartment was very spacious, modern and clean. We were a group of three adults and one child and we had plenty of space. The kitchen had an oven, four electric rings on the hob, a microwave and a dishwasher which we didn't need to use. The kitchen was spacious and the table had six chairs.

As we visited Sopot in October the weather was cool and we found it too cold on the first night as the duvets were thin and the thermostat was set at 19.5C. The windows were large and the curtains were flimsy so the heat escaped through the windows, especially from the single bedroom which had windows on three sides. We later discovered that we could increase the heating but then had to repeat the process the next day. The small fan heater also helped when it was very cold. The frying pan was very small. A larger one would have been helpful. It wasn't easy to find supermarkets in Sopot. Although the office had maps with a brief tourist guide, I didn't discover that until I returned the keys. Therefore I wasted a lot of time and energy hunting for a supermarket to buy food. The small one I found fairly close by was more expensive than Biedronka which was near the centre of the town. I never found the railway station though there was one. also near the town centre. There seemed to be two different addresses for the office which was confusing. I gave the leaflet with the telephone number to our taxi driver who got instructions from the office. But on Sunday, we had to get a taxi again to make sure we could get the keys back to the correct address. Getting into the flat required three keys, one for the outer door and two for the inner door. Although the lady showed me the keys, I found it helpful to label them 1,2,and 3. The third key hole was in the centre of the knob and not easy visible in the dark entrance hall. If there was a light switch there , I never found it.

The accommodation was excellent – very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pier, downtown, shops, and restaurants were just a short walk away.

Everything was great, no bad memories.

Close to the center, lots of space, comfortable beds

No curtains in smallest bedroom, basic facilities, no coffee machine despite talking to the stuff couple of times
