Apartament nad Motławą

Apartament nad Motławą Overview

Apartament nad Motławą sits right on the cobbled stretch of Targ Rybny, a stone’s throw from the bustling fish market and the glittering Motława River. I remember the first time I walked in, the smell of fresh cod and seaweed still lingered in the hallway, almost like a warm, salty hug. Check‑in was quick and friendly—no long queues, just a couple of locals in crisp shirts who asked a few questions and handed you a key with a wink. The lobby itself feels like a cozy café with a small barista corner; you can grab a coffee, watch the city through the tall windows, and feel the pulse of the old town already building around you.

The apartment’s layout is something I’d love to brag about, but I’ll keep it honest: it’s a two‑bedroom, fully equipped space that feels like a home away from home. The living area is surprisingly airy, with a big window that frames the river—morning light spills in, and you can hear the gentle lapping of boats and distant church bells. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who likes to cook; it has all the appliances you’d expect, plus a real espresso machine that makes your mornings feel like a Parisian café. There’s a small balcony too—perfect for a cup of tea while watching the old town’s lanterns flicker at dusk. The beds are oversized, with linens that feel like a hug, and the bathrooms are modern and spacious, with a deep soaking tub that’s ideal after a day of exploring. I must admit, the only thing that could use a touch more privacy is the slight echo in the hallway when someone steps on the floorboards at night; but honestly, it’s a minor quirk that doesn’t bother the whole vibe.

What makes this place truly special is the neighborhood. You’re literally on the waterfront, so you can stroll down to the Motława Bridge in minutes and catch the sunset over the harbor. Just a block away is the Gdańsk Old Town, where you can wander through the maze of streets, pop into a local bakery for a rye loaf, or explore the historic St. Mary’s Church. If you’re a foodie, the fish market on Targ Rybny is a must‑visit—fresh catches, local vendors, and that unmistakable aroma of the sea. Parking is a breeze; there’s a municipal lot right next to the building that’s usually free, and you can also find street parking a few blocks away, though be mindful of the early‑morning rush when the city’s commuters start flowing. Noise-wise, the apartment is quiet, especially after 10 pm; the only occasional hum is the distant hum of a bar or a taxi passing by. During the summer, the area gets lively—people line up for ice cream, and the river becomes a hotspot for small boats. In the winter, the cobblestones glow under streetlights, and the city’s quiet is almost meditative.

If you’re planning a trip, keep in mind that the peak season is July and August, so the fish market can be a bit crowded, but the atmosphere is electric. Late fall and early spring are quieter, and you’ll see locals strolling along the river, enjoying the crisp air. One little tip: order a glass of local “żubrówka” at the nearby bar on Motława Street; it’s a strong, slightly minty spirit that pairs beautifully with the city’s smoky cuisine. Overall, staying at Apartament nad Motławą feels like stepping into a well‑worn, yet vibrant slice of Gdańsk’s heart—perfect for anyone who wants to breathe the city’s history while enjoying the comforts of a modern home.

  Location and customer service

• Karin from Estonia – 7 July 2023 (9/10)

  Very good location in the old town. Clean and nice apartment.

• Marc from Ireland – 10 June 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was perfectly located between Main Town and Old Town, with a great view and eastern exposure. Everything worked well. The sofa bed was very easy to open and close. The coffee and the washing machine were a nice bonus. The host was very communicative and responsive.
  
  What could be improved: Because there isn’t AC or a fan, you will probably need to sleep with the windows open on a warm night. In that case you should bring ear plugs.

• Mark from Lithuania – 1 September 2022 (8/10)

  Cool location and apartment style
  
  What could be improved: Parking, due the summer ban there is no possibility to enter parking at midday.
  
  Apartment is very small, it would be a issue to live here with whole family

• Eliza from United Kingdom – 20 July 2022 (7/10)

  – super friendly and communicative owner
  – good location, but can be noisy at times, so not perfect if you prefer quiet evenings
  – good toiletteries and kitchen amenities provided
  – good shower
  
  What could be improved: – really could do with an iron (it’s not a big item, so there is space for it, every hotel/ apartment has it)
  – sofa/ pulled out bed was very uncomfortable plus you need to unfold it every night, so not the usual bed I would go for
  – very small, and all the space in the studio should be available to use in that limited space, but it wasn’t
  – there is a list of things that you need to do before leaving (like throwing your rubbish out and cleaning dishes), it is not a problem for me but guests shouldn’t be asked to do it compulsorly)
  – weird flat layout (where small cooker is away from the sink and rubbish). I understand it was the only possibility in that small space but very inconvenient

• Linnea from Sweden – 2 July 2022 (9/10)

  A beautiful, clean appartement that has a kitchenette with all the appliances that we needed. The apartment holds a lot of thoughtful details. The look of the pictures is true to the look of the appartement. The apartment is located near a lot of tourist attractions and is easily accessible. It was easy to contact and communicate with the host, even though we didn't meet the host.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing to mention that could be a bit negative is that the bed is a studio couch, so it isn't as comfortable as a normal bed. But still we thought it was comfortable enough and a smart solution to utilize the space. There were also a foldable bed made for one person.
