Downtown Apartments Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Parking

Downtown Apartments Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Parking Overview

Downtown Apartments Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Parking sits right on 6 Sienna Grobla, tucked between the cozy cafés of the Motława River and the bustling corner where the tram squeaks and the sea breeze tosses your hair. I arrived on a sunny Tuesday, early enough to dodge the rush of tourists heading to the Old Town, but late enough that you could still hear the faint hum of the harbor—boats pulling in, gulls cawing, the distant siren of a delivery truck. The sign on the building is a simple plaque, so you have to look a little closer to spot it, and the front door gives a warm, almost mischievous welcome. The staff at the front desk were quick and friendly—no long, drawn-out greetings, just a polite nod and a hand over the keycard. (I mean, who needs a welcome committee when you’re staying in a place that feels like a home.)

Inside, the apartment feels like a blend of modern polish and classic Gdańsk charm. The living area is spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the river. The décor is tasteful—neutral tones, a couple of local art pieces, and a sofa that actually folds into a bed (so handy if you get a last‑minute guest). The kitchenette is surprisingly well‑equipped: a small fridge, a double‑head kettle, a coffee machine that brews a decent espresso if you’re into that sort of thing. The bathroom is a dream—deep shower, a little tile mosaic that hints at the city’s maritime heritage, and a sauna right at the end of the hall. I spent a lazy Sunday afternoon soaking in the sauna, the steam mingling with the scent of eucalyptus and the faint smell of the river outside. It’s a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the cobbled streets of the Old Town or the Art Museum of Gdańsk.

Parking is a real win here. There’s a small underground garage attached to the building, and the staff will give you a free spot if you book a longer stay. On the street, you’re mostly lucky—there are a few meters of parking, but the city’s parking meters are a bit of a pain (you need a card, and they’re always a bit full). The building’s location means you can walk to the St. Mary’s Church in about 15 minutes, or hop on a tram to the waterfront for a seafood lunch at one of the riverside restaurants. I found a tiny Polish bakery called “Piekarnia Stary Młyn” just a block away; the smell of freshly baked rye bread was the first thing that greeted me. While the place is a stone’s throw from the tourist spots, the noise levels are surprisingly low—except for the occasional rumble of the tram or the clatter from the harbor. The only thing that could use improvement is the check‑in process, which is a bit slower than I’d like; there’s no self‑check‑in kiosk, so you actually have to wait for someone to hand you the keycard. But honestly, the staff’s friendly demeanor makes up for that little inconvenience.

Overall, Downtown Apartments Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Parking feels like a solid 4‑star home base that lets you taste the real Gdańsk. It’s not overly flashy, but it’s got everything you need to stay comfortable and relaxed, plus the bonus of a sauna that turns a simple evening into a spa-like escape. If you’re planning to hit the historic sites, the harbor, and the local cafés, this place is a sweet spot—no more “convenient location” fluff, just a genuine, well‑located, and thoughtfully designed stay that I’d happily recommend to a friend.
