Apartament Morski Nowa Motlawa

Apartament Morski Nowa Motlawa Overview

Apartament Morski Nowa Motlawa is tucked into a quiet corner of Gdańsk, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Motława River and the cobblestone charm of the Old Town. The check‑in was a breeze—no long lines, just a friendly receptionist who handed me a digital key and a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi passwords, which actually work better than I’d expected. The lobby’s stone walls give off that old‑world feel, but the subtle LED lighting keeps it modern enough that you don’t step back into the 19th century. The apartment itself is a cozy 50 square meters, with a living area that opens onto a balcony overlooking the river. I could hear the gentle lapping of the water and the occasional gull, which is oddly soothing after a long flight.

I parked my car in the building’s underground lot—no fuss, no fees, and it’s just a short walk to the entrance. Parking in Gdańsk can be a nightmare, but here it’s a relief. The noise level is pretty low, especially during the day; you can actually hear the faint hum of traffic in the distance, but it never feels intrusive. The bedroom’s curtains are heavy, so you’re not waking up to the city lights. I found the bed to be very comfortable, with a mattress that’s firm but not too hard—exactly what you want after a day of sightseeing. The bathroom is surprisingly modern, with a rain shower that feels like a spa—though the water pressure isn’t as high as in larger hotels, it still does the job. The kitchenette is compact but functional, equipped with a coffee machine that actually brews a decent espresso, which is a win for early‑morning travelers.

When it comes to exploring, Apartament Morski Nowa Motlawa sits right on Jaglana 6E/31, so you’re practically walking out of the apartment into the heart of the city. I took a stroll down Ulica Gdańska, a local favourite for its mix of cafés and artisan shops, and then headed over to the bustling Pobrzeże—there, you can catch a view of the old shipyards and the new port developments. The nearby St. Mary’s Church is a must‑visit, and I’d say the best time to see it is early in the morning, when the light hits the stained‑glass windows. For food, the street stalls near the river serve the best pierogi in town—there’s a particular vendor that has been around for decades, and the smell of fresh dumplings is just irresistible. I also found a small bakery on Gdańsk Street that sells freshly baked rye bread; it’s a local secret that you don’t see on any tourist guide.

If you’re planning a trip, the hotel shines brightest during the shoulder seasons—late spring or early fall. The crowds are thinner, the weather is mild, and you get a more relaxed vibe. In the peak summer months, the area can get lively, especially around the harbor, but even then the building’s windows keep the noise at a manageable level. I’d advise booking early if you’re coming in July or August to lock in a decent rate. Overall, Apartament Morski Nowa Motlawa feels like a home base that’s both comfortable and well‑connected to the city’s pulse. You’ll find yourself coming back to it after a day of wandering—its cozy atmosphere, thoughtful amenities, and the subtle, authentic Gdańsk vibe make it a standout choice for anyone looking to experience the city beyond the usual tourist spots.
