A town famous for the production of soap, paper, carriages and haberdashery. In 1718, most of the town's buildings burned down, costing the town many valuable items. During World War II, the first school for rocket troops was located here. In 1991, Pope John Paul II visited the town and consecrated the Shrine of the Covenant as a place of pilgrimage and a statue of him can be found in the town centre.
Preparation before the trip:
- Motorway vignette.
- Pet passport and valid vaccinations for movement within the EU.
- Exchange a couple of Zlotys for street parking.
The drive:
- No toll gates or other fees.
- It was a good drive, as we could smell the sea air from afar and were looking forward to walking in the warm beach sand. We had chosen Koszalin as a strategic location for a few days, so that we would be able to drive around all the seaside towns and explore the lighthouses, of which there are plenty.

My review
Location
100
Very close to the centre but in a quiet area. Perfect location for walks.
Purity
90
Clean and new apartment, the only flaw was the lipstick left painted on the bottom of the sink and probably unwashable black dots on the white pillowcases. But the linens were clean, hotel-style, and mandled, so we didn't get the feeling that they were "dirty" at all.
Staff
100
Lovely and very helpful, still answering our questions at 10pm. So if there were problems they were available even if you don't have to physically meet them.
Comfort
90
Fully equipped apartment also for a long stay. You will feel at home. We were personally bothered by the inability to set the air conditioning to less than 21° Celsius. There is no daily housekeeping in the apartment, so don't eat garlic toast in the bed and blow your nose in the towels or you'll have those boogers on your back the next day. If you run out of toilet paper, though, they'll be sure to bring you some - again, same with the towels.
Parking
100
Perfect parking behind the apartment for about 12 cars, there was always a place to park whenever we arrived.
Internet
90
Outdated method of constantly disconnecting and then entering the hotel password into the browser. After three days, you're yelling the password in your sleep.
Novelty
100
The apartments are completely newly built (2020), everything is beautiful and new, we were surprised we did not have to remove the protective film from the TV screen.
Bedroom
100
Beautiful and comfortable bed, plenty of pillows (6) large blanket, hotel bedsheets. For us exactly what we expect from a hotel bedroom.
Bathroom
100
Shower with both free head and overhead shower. Separated from the toilet by glass, so you don't pour litres of water into the toilet while showering.
Kitchen
80
The kitchen was somewhat lacking a sink and running water. It wouldn't have been such a problem if the designer hadn't opted for the absolutely stupid shape of the bathroom sink, where you can't even fill a small bottle with water, let alone wash a bowl. Oh well, you just fill your Chinese soup straight into the bag.
View
50
Our apartment on the lower floor had a street view. We personally didn't mind it, but we can't say that it was a postcard panorama either.
Amenities
80
The apartment was controlled by a modern tablet and generally lived a life of its own. Or maybe it was haunted by the ghost of some deceased worker who might have been settling that cursed sink. Every now and then the lights would turn on by themselves. There were probably motion sensors in the room, and if nothing moved for an hour/two, everything automatically shut off, including the air conditioning. Which is especially appreciated in the middle of the night when you wake up all sweaty. The air conditioning is apparently remotely controlled, a third party controls the temperature so you can actually set whatever you want, it doesn't matter. The smart TV, was completely stupid as it didn't have an internet connection. After all, you didn't have an internet connection either, because your fingers had fallen off from typing in the password again and again.
Entry
100
You couldn't miss, the doors open with a code or an app you download on your phone and then you walk around like a person from the future and open everything around you with just your phone. The app is on both android and iOS.
Reception

No reception, no people, no contact, no corona - no problem.

Greek Catholic modern church built between 1998-2006. At first glance, it is a very interesting building, which resembles diamonds with its wedge-shaped roofs.

If you don't want to give up the sport even on holiday, stop by the Dolina. It's a place for many sports activities, running, skating, basketball, tennis, netball and you can even lounge on the small beach or just relax on the grass. Quadrupeds aren't allowed here, but if they sit in a bag, they probably shouldn't bother anyone. It's all about keeping the park areas clean, so if you happen to go there, please keep that in mind.

Description:
A beacon that wasn't exactly a beacon before. It was built in the 19th century as part of the pilot station building and the tower was much lower. Renovations, however, have made it a full-fledged lighthouse with a height of 22 metres. The building was last renovated in 1927 and its classic brick appearance is very photogenic.

Description:
The lighthouse was built in 1829 at a distance of 380 m from the sea, so it stands practically in the centre of the town. Each floor of the lighthouse is decorated with a ledge and is 33.3 m high, so there are no shortage of ledges.

Description:
This lighthouse almost reminded us of a castle, it is one of the few buildings that was not destroyed in World War II. The lighthouse is 19.50 meters tall. If you are going to Ustka by car we recommend you to go either early in the morning or towards the evening. There is a huge parking problem in the town. And with police officers anxiously insisting on enforcing parking zones, a tour to the lighthouse could cost you quite a few zlotys more in fines.

The lighthouse, which we have given the working name of umbrella because its vertical stripes resemble a closed up umbrella. The lighthouse was in continuous service from 1866 until the end of World War II. The lighthouse was booby trapped during the war, but fortunately the charges were able to be disposed of after the lighthouse was liberated.

Description:
Modern restaurant with garden and private parking. Although the decor and interior is rather simple, the main thing you are there for will not disappoint you. Perfect and juicy burgers with original fillings will motivate you to try something new. Do you fancy a Mexican burger with avocado and nacho chips? Does that sound funky? Maybe! But take a leap of faith and you won't regret it. You'll love this unusual burger with beets, red onions, goat cheese and bacon at first bite. Plus, incredibly good home fries that definitely haven't been sitting in the freezer for a year. Love onion rings? Here's the place to get them, they're like something cut out of a cooking magazine, beautifully golden and no oil, no soggy gunk. The coleslaw was chopped very coarsely for our taste, but it was still fine and there was nothing else to complain about. All of this served on stylish wooden trays, which only emphasized the overall impression of the uniqueness of this restaurant. The service was great, but I didn't get a bowl of water, I'll have to ask for it next time.

Local traditional pastry shop since 1946, the cookies were very good. We didn't like the cake at all, and neither did The Traitor, about whom the legend says that he eats everything. Not such a great breakfast in the car for us (quadrupeds are not allowed inside). But try to taste some local stuff that catches your eye, maybe we just had an unfortunate choice for a cake.
