Downtown Apartments Riverside Nowa Motława SPA, Pool, Gym & Parking Overview

Downtown Apartments Riverside Nowa Motława SPA, Pool, Gym & Parking sits on ul. Jaglana 6, right by the gentle flow of the Motława River, and it was one of those first stops that feel like a secret you’re meant to keep. The check‑in was quick—no long queues, just a friendly host who handed me a keycard with a smile. (I mean, they’re a 4‑star place, so you’d expect a bit more ceremony, but it was actually pretty relaxed.) Parking is free, but it’s a short walk from the parking lot to the lobby, so if you’re in a rush you’ll have to lug your bags a bit. The lobby itself had that old‑world charm—think exposed brick, a little wooden bar with a local barista brewing coffee, and a faint scent of fresh pastries that wafted from the café across the street.

I stayed in a mid‑size apartment with a balcony that overlooked the river. The room was clean, with a minimalist aesthetic that made it feel spacious. The bed was comfy—plush sheets, plenty of pillows, and a small blackout curtain for those nights when the streetlights from ul. Gdańska spill into the room. The bathroom had a surprisingly large walk‑in shower and a decent amount of personal care items—one of those little touches that make a place feel homey. The apartment’s Wi‑Fi was spotty at times, but the whole area is pretty tech‑friendly.

The real highlight is the spa and pool area. It’s a small indoor pool that’s perfect for a quick dip after a day of exploring. The spa room had a sauna and a steam room, and the staff were actually friendly—one of them even offered a quick tutorial on how to properly use the sauna. The gym, though modest, had a few free‑weight machines and a treadmill that was surprisingly quiet. After a workout, I slipped into the pool and listened to the faint hum of the city—boats drifting on the river, the distant chatter of locals at a nearby pier, and the occasional gull.

Outside the hotel, the streets are lively. The nearest spot is the St. Mary’s Church, just a 15‑minute walk, and you can hear the bells echoing through the Old Town. On weekends, the area around ul. Długi Targ gets bustling with people, so if you’re looking for a quiet night you might want to stay on the second floor. Noise from the river is minimal during the day, but at night the river’s hum can be a bit intrusive if you’re on the balcony. Seasonal traffic is worth noting—summer sees a lot of tourists, but the early mornings are surprisingly calm.

Overall, Downtown Apartments Riverside Nowa Motława SPA, Pool, Gym & Parking offers a blend of comfort and local flavor. The free parking is a plus, and the spa is a nice escape after a day of sightseeing. The only real downside is the occasional Wi‑Fi hiccup and the fact that the pool is indoor, so it’s less appealing in the summer heat. But if you’re after a place that feels like a local’s hideaway, with easy access to the river and the Old Town, this place is a solid pick. It’s honestly one of those spots that you’ll keep coming back to, especially when you want a quiet evening after a day of exploring the cobbled streets and historic architecture of Gdańsk.

To book hotel in Gdansk during the famous St. Dominic’s Fair season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts maritime enthusiasts and history lovers from around the world.
