Euro Apartments Motlava

Euro Apartments Motlava Overview

When I first checked into Euro Apartments Motlava, I was already buzzing with excitement—Gdańsk had been on my map for months, but seeing it up close changes everything. The building sits at Rybackie Pobrzeze 5/7 – 10, right on the riverbank, and the first thing you notice is that salty breeze that comes off the Motława. It’s the kind of wind that carries the scent of freshly baked pierogi from the street vendors on the pier, and you can hear the clatter of fishing boats in the distance. Honestly, that moment made me feel like I’d stumbled into a living postcard.

The apartment itself is a neat 3‑room, 4‑star space with a vibe that feels more like a home than a hotel. The living area is spacious enough to lounge and still have room for a full-size sofa—great for long evenings after a day of exploring. I mean, the couch is super comfy, and the little balcony overlooking the river is a perfect spot for a cup of tea at sunset. The kitchen is fully equipped, which is a win for travelers who like to cook their own meals; the stainless steel appliances gleam, and the tiny fridge is surprisingly roomy. (I stored a whole bottle of Gdańsk’s famous beer there—talk about convenience.)

Check‑in was a breeze. The front desk staff were friendly and spoke a bit of English, which is handy because most Polish signage around the area is in the local language. They handed me a keycard that opens the building and the apartment, and the instructions for the Wi‑Fi were clear—no tech‑head needed. Parking is a bit of a mixed bag: there’s a small municipal lot a block away, but it fills up quickly in the summer. If you arrive early, you can snag a spot, but otherwise you’ll have to walk a few minutes to find a parking space on the street. (I used a parking app to find a nearby spot, which saved me a whole lot of time.)

Noise is pretty tame, especially if you’re not staying in the street-facing unit. The river side gives a gentle rustle of water, but the city noises—cars, buses, the occasional honk—are muffled by the building’s insulation. The best part is that the building’s location is just a short walk to the Old Town. I spent a morning strolling through the cobblestones, passing St. Mary’s Church and the lively market square. After a day of wandering, I’d return to the quiet of my apartment, where the only sounds were the soft hum of the fridge and the gentle creak of the balcony railing. The local coffee shop, Bar Czekolada, is a stone’s throw away; I’ve been there twice already, and the espresso is a real treat.

Honestly, the only thing that could make it better is a bit more storage space for bulky luggage. The wardrobe is decent, but there’s no extra closet for those long trips. Still, for a 4‑star place with a 9.8 rating, it’s hard to find a spot that feels so welcoming. The staff are genuinely helpful, the decor is tasteful without being pretentious, and the location is unbeatable if you’re looking to soak up Gdańsk’s maritime charm. I’ve already booked a return trip, and I can’t wait to catch up on the rest of that city’s stories—this place already feels like a second home.
