GRANO APARTMENTS Gdańsk Motława SPA & Wellness

GRANO APARTMENTS Gdańsk Motława SPA & Wellness Overview

GRANO APARTMENTS Gdańsk Motława SPA & Wellness is tucked right on the water, just a short walk from the Old Town’s cobblestone lanes. I first spotted it from the pier on Motława, the building’s modern glass façade reflecting the river’s gentle sway. The first time I stepped into the lobby, the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with a faint hint of sea salt—perfect little sensory cue that you’re in the right spot. Check‑in was surprisingly swift; the desk clerk waved me through with a friendly grin, but there was a brief pause as a rush of guests from a nearby conference trickled in. The staff were efficient, not quite the “personal concierge” vibe you’d find in a boutique place, but they made sure my key card worked and pointed me toward the spa area. Parking is a mixed bag: there’s a small underground lot right across Jaglana, but you’ll have to pay a modest fee; it’s convenient, though the parking lot gets a bit cramped in the summer, especially when the city’s nightlife kicks off around the waterfront.

Walking out of the hotel, you hit the bustling street of Jaglana, where street vendors sell pierogi that smell like warm dough and melted butter. The hotel’s location is a sweet spot between the old city’s charm and the modern pulse of the port. I found a quiet corner in a nearby café that serves the best espresso in Gdańsk—just a couple of blocks from the hotel, and the view of the river is a constant backdrop. The noise from the nearby tram track is a gentle hum; it’s not a full-blown street, so my room stayed surprisingly peaceful. I do have to mention that the elevator can get a bit slow during peak hours, but it’s a minor annoyance compared to the overall experience. If you’re planning to explore the Golden Lane, the hotel’s location means you’re only a few minutes’ walk from the iconic St. Mary’s Church, and you can stroll down onto the waterfront promenade to catch the sunset over the Motława.

The spa and wellness center is honestly a highlight. I booked a couple of hours in the sauna, and the heat was just right—no too steamy, no too dry. The wooden panels inside were polished to a subtle shine, and the steam carried a faint pine scent that made the whole space feel like a retreat. After the sauna, the pool area had a shallow lap pool that was surprisingly clean, and the view of the city skyline from the terrace was a great backdrop for a late‑afternoon drink. I noticed a small, but well‑designed, meditation corner; a few cushions and a soft, ambient soundtrack made it easy to unwind. The only real critique: the Wi‑Fi signal is a bit spotty in the upper floors, so if you need to work, you might want to move to a lower level or use a mobile hotspot. All in all, GRANO APARTMENTS Gdańsk Motława SPA & Wellness felt like a comfortable, thoughtfully designed place that’s close enough to the historic heart of Gdańsk yet far enough to breathe. If you’re looking for a blend of local atmosphere, a decent spa, and easy access to the city’s key spots, this place is a solid pick. The rating of 8.2? I’d say it’s well deserved, especially if you’re staying during the quieter off‑peak months when the city’s buzz is a little softer.

Reviews of GRANO APARTMENTS Gdańsk Motława SPA & Wellness

• Wojciech from Poland – 8 June 2025 (9/10)

  Clean, quiet, close to communication and old town. Restaurants nearby.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom is super small and water from shower is everywhere. Would be nice to have hangers for towels, so that I do nit have to hang them to dry in random places.

• Craig from United Kingdom – 29 May 2025 (7/10)

  Absolutely perfect location. Access to all amenities , The Old Town and transport . The apartment was spacious and clean as well as being well appointed.
  
  What could be improved: No curtains just fine material drapes so it was so light with the outside light and early morning sun which made it uncomfortable. It was also incredibly hot.

• Tore from Norway – 15 May 2025 (9/10)

  Nice clean room/apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Jagroop from United Kingdom – 5 May 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: The kitchen tap water pressure was too high, which was annoying during the process of washing the dishes.
  In addition, I noticed a high level of grime along the bottom of the shower screen.

• Mariia from Norway – 20 April 2025 (8/10)

  Lovely apartment, right in the city center, spacious with all necessary amenities. We would love to come back!

• Ian from United Kingdom – 9 April 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and very quiet apartment block. Excellent breakfast in the hotel, and very helpful staff.
  
  What could be improved: The only very slight downside (very small) was that the bedroom was small, with one side of the bed against the wall, and no bedside tables. But this was a very small issue – everything else was great.

• Ugnė from Lithuania – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

  Location and the view
  
  What could be improved: Broken sofa bed, excess home “scent” in the appartment. Limited toilet paper and other amenities 😂 even cleaning service is for extra charge

• Osorio from Norway – 2 March 2025 (9/10)

  Clean, location and pool
  
  What could be improved: All good

• Adelaide from United Kingdom – 29 January 2025 (9/10)

  The property was clean, staff were lovely and really great location

• Daniel from United Kingdom – 11 January 2025 (9/10)

  Apartment was brilliant, very spacious with everything you need. Location was great, a short 5 minute walk to the main square. We had a very lovely meal in the evening in the hotel. Would recommend.
  
  What could be improved: You have to book a 1 hour time slot for for the pool which was not an issue however we expected them to limit the amount of people, most of our sessions the pool was very busy you could not have a proper swim. We paid extra for the breakfast one morning which was disappointing compared to other places we ate for the price
