Apartamenty nad Motławą Overview
Apartamenty nad Motławą sits right on the edge of the Motława River, a short stroll from the cobblestone lanes of Gdańsk’s old town. The first time I walked up to Pończoszników 1, I could hear the waves lapping against the pier and the distant hum of the port—it’s the kind of sound that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard, but with a whole lot more character. The building itself is a tidy, modern block that somehow feels like a hidden gem; the lobby is bright and airy, with a mural of the river that looks like a splash of water on a wall. Check‑in was surprisingly breezy: a friendly staff member handed me a keycard and whispered, “Enjoy your stay, and if you need anything, just shout.” Honestly, that kind of personal touch is rare in a city full of chain hotels.
Inside, the apartment feels like a small loft with a view that’s worth the price. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a small fridge, a two‑burner stove, and a kettle that whirs like a tiny waterfall. I made a cup of coffee right there, and the aroma mixed with the faint scent of the river—like damp stone and brine. The living area is cozy, with a sofa that’s soft enough to sink into after a day of walking. The bedroom is just a short walk away, tucked behind a sliding door that gives a little privacy. The bathroom was clean, with a rain shower that feels like a gentle downpour. The only small gripe: the Wi‑Fi can be spotty during peak tourist season, but the connection is usually fine enough for checking photos and sending quick texts.
Parking is a bit of a hassle if you’re driving. There’s a paid lot just a block away on St. Mary’s Street—it’s not free, but the rates are reasonable. If you’re staying during the summer, you might have to fight for a spot, especially if you’re near the Old Town. But if you’re staying for a few nights, you can park on the street with a permit (the city will issue one for a small fee). Noise-wise, the hotel is pretty quiet at night, though the river can sometimes echo with the traffic from the bridge. Early mornings (around 6 a.m.) are the quietest, but by 8 a.m., the streets are bustling with people heading to the fish market or the nearby cafés. Speaking of which, the café on Gdańsk’s Main Street (Ulica Gdańska) is just a 10‑minute walk away and serves the best pierogi I’ve ever had—soft, flaky dough with a savory mushroom filling. The hotel staff actually gave me a map with a few local spots, and I ended up visiting the nearby St. Mary’s Church and the Royal Way for a quick photo op.
The real charm, though, is the vibe. It feels like the kind of place where you can drop your bag, grab a coffee, and just relax for a bit. The staff are genuinely helpful; one night I asked for directions to the nearest bakery, and they handed me a handwritten note with a sketch of the best route. The only real downside is that the elevator is a bit slow—there are only two floors, so it’s not a huge deal, but it does mean you might have to wait a minute if everyone else is going up at the same time. Overall, the service is solid, the rooms are comfortable, and the location is unbeatable: you’re literally on the water, with the old city just a stone’s throw away. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a local’s hideaway rather than a generic hotel, Apartamenty nad Motławą is definitely worth your time.
Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

Standard apartament 100% consistent with the description. One whole wall overlooking Motlawa and Wyspe Spichrzów. Very beautiful view.
What could be improved: the location right next to the Green Gate has its advantages and disadvantages. Noise on both sides, tourists, party people from morning to morning. high, steep stairs for the 2nd and 3rd floors.Agnieszka from France – 7 May 2024 (7/10)
