Lion Apartments – Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Kids Play Overview

Lion Apartments – Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Kids Play is the kind of place that feels like a secret corner of Gdańsk you only discover when you’re wandering the streets after the tourist crowds have thinned. I first stumbled upon it on a rainy Thursday, ducking into the building after a long walk along the Motława River. The front desk was surprisingly breezy – the staff greeted me with a smile that made me feel less like a visitor and more like a returning friend. The check‑in process was quick; you just hand over your passport and a key card, and the attendant points you to a small, tastefully decorated lounge where the scent of fresh coffee lingers in the air.

When I moved into my apartment, the first thing I noticed was the view. From the balcony you can see the river’s gentle ripple and, on clear days, a line of sailboats bobbing in the distance. It’s the sort of spot that makes you want to stay up late, staring at the city lights flicker across the water. The room itself is cozy but functional – a king‑size bed with crisp linen that actually feels like a hug, a small but well‑equipped kitchenette, and a bathroom that smells like citrus soap and fresh rain. The little touches, like a set of travel‑size toiletries and a stack of local guidebooks, show that the owners know travelers well.

What really sets Lion Apartments – Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Kids Play apart is its blend of convenience and charm. The gym is surprisingly spacious for a 4‑star property, with a decent selection of weights and a small yoga mat area that’s perfect for a quick stretch after a day of exploring. The sauna is a highlight – a hot, steamy retreat that smells of eucalyptus, and it’s the best way to unwind after a day at the Old Town or the nearby art galleries. Kids love it too; there’s a dedicated play zone with a few classic toys that keeps the little ones entertained while adults sip coffee.

The location is a win‑win. A few minutes’ walk brings you to the bustling Gdańsk Main Market Square, with its maze of cafés and street performers. If you’re looking for quieter times, the riverbank is a peaceful spot for a stroll at sunset, and you can even spot the old lighthouse on the horizon. Parking is free for guests right outside the building, which is a relief after a night of heavy traffic in the city center. I did notice that the building is a bit older, so a few walls have a faint, weathered texture that adds character, but there’s no major maintenance issue – just the small crack in the hallway that the staff fixed quickly.

All in all, Lion Apartments – Riverside Nadmotławie – Sauna, Gym & Kids Play feels like a home away from home. It’s the kind of place that gives you that warm, “I’m glad I found this” feeling, and honestly, that’s why I keep coming back. Whether you’re in Gdańsk for the historic sights, the vibrant nightlife, or just to soak up some seaside atmosphere, this spot offers a blend of comfort, convenience, and a touch of local authenticity that’s hard to top.
