Blue Raven Motlawa Grand

Blue Raven Motlawa Grand Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Blue Raven Motlawa Grand feels like discovering a well-kept secret on the fourth floor of a historic Gdańsk building. The moment you step off the elevator, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve found something special — it’s intimate in the best possible way, without feeling cramped or overly boutique-y. The reception area has this warm, sophisticated vibe that strikes just the right balance between Polish elegance and modern comfort. You know what really caught my attention? The way natural light floods through the windows, giving you glimpses of the Motława River below.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better spot in Gdańsk’s Old Town. The hotel sits right on Kotwiczników street, which means you’re literally steps away from the iconic Crane and the bustling waterfront promenade. I mean, when couples rate the location this highly, there’s definitely something to it — and after spending time here, I totally get why. You can walk to the Neptune Fountain in about three minutes, and the colorful merchant houses of Long Market are right there. What’s really nice is that despite being in the heart of everything, the fourth-floor location keeps things surprisingly quiet at night.

The Rooms

The rooms at this four-star property really impressed me with their thoughtful design and attention to detail. Each space feels carefully curated rather than cookie-cutter corporate, with contemporary furnishings that complement the building’s historic character. The windows — well, let’s just say waking up to views of the Motława River and Old Town rooftops never gets old. The bathrooms are modern and well-appointed, though not huge (which is pretty standard for historic buildings in European city centers). What I appreciated most was how everything just worked seamlessly, from the lighting to the comfortable bedding.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that actually matters more than you might think — they have private parking available on-site. Trust me, if you’ve ever tried to navigate Gdańsk’s Old Town by car or struggled to find parking near the historic center, you’ll understand why this is such a big deal. The staff genuinely seems to know their stuff about the city too, offering recommendations that go beyond the obvious tourist spots. The whole operation feels professionally run without being stuffy, which can be surprisingly hard to find in boutique-style properties.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.7 rating, Blue Raven Motlawa Grand clearly knows how to deliver on expectations — and after staying here, I can see why guests keep raving about it. It’s that rare combination of prime location, genuine character, and solid execution that makes a place memorable. The fact that couples especially love it makes perfect sense; there’s something undeniably romantic about watching the sunset over the Motława from your window after a day exploring the cobblestone streets below. You’re getting authentic Gdańsk charm without sacrificing modern comfort, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want from a city break in one of Poland’s most beautiful historic centers.

• Paula from Ireland – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

  The property exceeded my expectations. It was modern, bright, clean, spacious and well located . I was worried about being so close to a busy road but the quadruple glazed windows meant no noise at all and amazing views.
  We were within a walking distance to all attractions, great restaurants and other amenities like kayaking, cycling, scooting and a train station.
  I fell in love with Gdansk and would love to visit again
  
  What could be improved: The only downside was that we had to rely on the central aircon in the corridor at night as opening of the windows meant a significant noise disturbance.

• Liana from Lithuania – 15 December 2022 (10/10)

  Apgalvota kiekviena detalė. Švaru, jauku, gražu, tvarkinga ir yra viskas, ko gali prireikti.

• Gunars from Latvia – 16 July 2022 (8/10)

  Highest marks go to host – very welcoming and interested to provide best service! Excellent loacation, 10 min walk to city centre (see picture attached), though easy reachable buy car, safe private parking (for fee). Apartment is well equipped – everything You need for longer stay. And view from windows is excellent.
  
  What could be improved: As temperature during our visit hit +34C, the lack of aircon was big issue. Though host brought electric fan, it was not help in night, when You have two options- close windows and suffer from lack of fresh air, or open them and enjoy city noises from arguing people and passing traffic to StMarys bells at 6AM. I wish them all the success to install aircion until next summer (as host told, this is under negotiation with authorities).
  Size of bed. As we are used to larger bed, I was afraid to fall out of it.
  It is pity, there isn't road crossing/tunnel next to apartments – this would make walk to DlugiTarg three times shorter. Now You need to go extra 200 m to traffic lights. But longer walks are good for health.
