Granaria Premium Riverside & Parking by Downtown Apartments

Granaria Premium Riverside & Parking by Downtown Apartments Overview

Granaria Premium Riverside & Parking by Downtown Apartments sits right on the banks of the Motława River, a stone’s throw from the cobbled lanes of Gdańsk’s Old Town. I arrived at 3 Chmielna and was greeted by a friendly receptionist who handed me a quick digital key card – no long queue, no fuss. The parking is tucked behind a glass wall, so you can drop your car off in a snap and walk straight to the lobby. The first thing you notice is the scent of fresh river air mixed with the faint aroma of the nearby bakery, a local favorite that whips up rye bread every morning. The lobby itself has a warm glow from the exposed brick walls and a couple of comfortable sofas that look like they’d be perfect for a quick nap after a day of sightseeing.

The room was a tidy 20 square meters, but the window framed the river like a living postcard. I swear the city’s nightlife sounds faintly through the curtains, but the crash of the waves is a soothing backdrop. The bed’s memory foam was spot on – firm enough to keep you honest, yet plush enough to promise a good night’s sleep. The bathroom, a little on the cramped side, still managed to feel luxurious with a rain shower that felt like a spa experience. Honestly, the Wi‑Fi could be faster – I had to refresh a couple of times before the connection steadied, but it wasn’t a deal‑breaker. On the plus side, the hotel includes a small kitchenette, so I grabbed a few snacks and a bottle of local white wine for the next day.

Walking out of the hotel, you’re essentially on the same block as the Gdańsk Główny railway station and the bustling streets of Ślęża. A quick 5‑minute stroll takes you to the river promenade, where you can see boats drift by and locals fishing in the early morning. The hotel’s location is a sweet spot: close enough to the Old Town – you can hop on a tram for a 7‑minute ride – but far enough that you don’t hear the nightly chatter from the main square. I stopped by the Marża restaurant on Łękacy Street for lunch; the pierogi were a hit and the staff remembered my name, which made the experience feel personal. The only real downside? The room’s windows face the street, so the occasional traffic hum can be a bit of an interruption at 2 a.m. – though the river side keeps the noise at bay during the day.

Overall, Granaria Premium Riverside & Parking by Downtown Apartments delivers on comfort and convenience, while giving you a taste of the local vibe without the usual tourist gloss. With a 4‑star rating and a solid 9.1 from fellow travelers, it’s a spot you’ll want to revisit. If you’re planning a quick getaway, the parking and the river view make it worth the extra few minutes of walking. Just remember to bring a light sweater – the evenings can be cool, especially by the water. Once you’ve had a few hours at the hotel, you’ll feel ready to explore the historic streets, the shipyard museum, and perhaps try some more of those irresistible pierogi. The city’s rhythm will be right at your doorstep, and the hotel’s friendly staff will have you feeling like a local before you even step outside.

• Gosia from Poland – 2 May 2025 (10/10)

  Great, spacious apartment with lovely view. Convenient location. Although just above restaurants and busy area, these were closing 10-11 pm so it’s not really an issue.

• Malgorzata from United States – 24 April 2025 (9/10)

  Great location. Great view.

• Angela from United Kingdom – 8 April 2025 (10/10)

  Modern. Spotlessly clean. Great location.
  Customer service via WhatsApp. There was someone at reception who was very unhelpful and rude but I don’t know if she was part of the company I rented from.

• Les from Poland – 3 February 2025 (10/10)

  Location, cleanliness and facilities in apartment
  
  What could be improved: Toilet set was broken and a clearly bodged attempt made to bathroom silicon seal fix on totally the wrong type of seat. What should have been an easy fix was an irritating failure. Thankfully it was the extra toilet so it wasn't a critfailure

• Rae from Australia – 11 January 2025 (10/10)

  Great spaces for a memorable family Christmas in Gdansk. Our family of 7 stayed in three different apartments, which were across the three Granaria buildings, but it was easy enough to get from room to room through the underground parking area.
  The views and access to the old town were amazing, and the styling and facilities in each apartment were great.
  One apartment even had its own private sauna, which, while tricky to turn on, was a fun inclusion. We had an awesome time here.

• Anna from Czech Republic – 11 January 2025 (10/10)

  In general, Gdansk offers the accommodation of high standard. Based on my world travel experience, I can only confirm that the Polish know how to decorate their own living space very well and above average. The apartment was tastefully furnished and decorated, super clean. The access to the place was easy, communication with the landlord smooth, check-in easy. Everything was without any problem, We received the tips on good dining in the area, and I strongly recommend the restaurant Chleb i wino located on the ground floor of the same building complex. There is a big choice of similar apartments for rent in Gdansk. However, for us the priority was to have a good access and walking distance to the main city attractions and Christmas market preferably with the unique touch and amazing view. This apartment was exactly what we were looking for. Our stay was perfect, it could not be better.
  Also, what I liked was that we really got the apartment that we booked. Sometimes it is tricky with Booking.com as they tend to give you budget rooms yet advertise superior rooms. The owner confirmed that we would stay in Granaria B10 apartment, which is really beautiful. You can see it at: https://www.downtownapartments.pl/apartamenty/granaria-b10-1
  
  What could be improved: The apartment can get noisy during the night caused by a loud music and dancing people in the building complex. We had such experience on Saturday night. However, we knew about it prior to booking the place. This is something that we were ready to compromise as "it comes with the package", if you want to stay in the historical center and close to where everything is happening.
