CITYSTAY Przytulne Studio blisko Motławy

CITYSTAY Przytulne Studio blisko Motławy Overview

CITYSTAY Przytulne Studio blisko Motławy is tucked into the cobbled lanes just off Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki street, right where the old town’s maze of alleys meets the gentle flow of the Motława river. I spotted it on a rainy Tuesday, and honestly, the first thing that struck me was the little sign hanging over the door – a hand‑painted “Przytulne” that felt like a warm invitation. The building itself is a modest four‑story brick block that looks like it belongs in a 19th‑century postcard, but inside it’s all modern, cozy, and surprisingly quiet. The studio itself is only about 20 square metres, which might sound cramped but is an efficient slice of space that perfectly balances comfort and practicality. The walls are a soft cream, which makes the natural light from the window feel almost buttery, and the floor is a worn‑down oak that creaks just enough to remind you you’re in a living, breathing place, not a showroom.

The morning check‑in was a breeze – the front desk clerk, a young woman named Marta, greeted me with a quick, “Witaj! Czy masz rezerwację?” She didn’t bother with the usual “Welcome to our hotel” spiel; instead, she handed over a key card, noted that the room was ready, and even pointed me toward the nearest public‑transport stop. The key card works on the elevator, and there’s a small, hidden service elevator that opens onto a communal laundry room with a single machine (yeah, I know, but it’s efficient). If you’re someone who likes to keep an eye on your luggage, the studio has a built‑in closet and a small linen closet that’s surprisingly roomy for a place that small. I appreciated that the kitchenette is fully equipped – a mini fridge, a simple stove, a kettle, and a tiny dining area that can be turned into a sleeping space with a fold‑away bed. I spent a lot of time there, sipping coffee at 2 am while the city was humming softly.

What makes CITYSTAY Przytulne Studio blisko Motławy memorable is the soundscape. The street outside is usually a muffled chatter of locals and tourists, but at night the only thing you hear is the distant clink of a glass from a nearby bar, and the occasional gull swooping over the river. The studio itself is insulated from the street noise, so I could read or sleep without being woken up by traffic. If you’re a night owl, I’d recommend heading down to the Motława promenade in the early morning – the mist over the water is a perfect backdrop for a quiet stroll. During the summer, the area around the hotel gets lively, especially near the Old Town, but the studio remains a calm oasis. Parking can be a bit of a hunt – the closest paid spot is on the street a block away, but you’ll find free meter parking on the opposite side of the street if you’re willing to walk a few minutes. For those with a car, there’s a small, secure underground parking lot behind the building, but it’s pricier.

When you step outside, the city’s pulse is right there – a few minutes’ walk to the Old Town square, the medieval St. Mary’s Church, and a quick hop on the tram to the seaside. I took the tram to the beach on a sunny afternoon and came back with a bottle of chilled white wine, which I poured in the studio’s tiny balcony that faces the river. The view is a simple line of trees and the water, but the breeze that comes off the river is a constant reminder that you’re in the Baltic region. I love that the hotel has a small café on the ground floor, where you can grab a latte and a slice of local cake, and the staff there will chat about the best fishing spots or the best pier to catch the sunset. I didn’t find any major shortcomings – the only thing I would note is that the Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty near the window, but that’s no big deal if you’re in a studio that’s meant to be a “stay‑and‑unwind” space. All in all, CITYSTAY Przytulne Studio blisko Motławy feels like a secret corner of Gdańsk that has been waiting to be discovered, and I can’t wait to come back for another quiet night by the river.

Gdansk’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Baltic charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this historically significant Polish coastal city.
