Maya’s Flats & Resorts 47 – Heweliusza Gdansk Overview

Maya’s Flats & Resorts 47 – Heweliusza Gdansk is tucked right off Jana Heweliusza, just a short stroll from the Motława River and the cobblestones of Gdańsk’s Old Town. I remember the first time I walked in, the lobby was surprisingly airy, with a mix of wooden paneling and soft, neutral tones that made the space feel more like a local café than a hotel. The staff greeted me with a warm “Dzień dobry” and handed me a keycard that opened my room with a simple tap on the side of the door—no fumbling with a traditional key, which honestly felt like a small win in a city that can be a maze for newcomers.

The room itself is a cozy two‑bed flat, with a queen‑size bed that actually feels like a mattress you’d keep at home. The linen is crisp, and the small balcony has a view of the street where you can hear the distant hum of the city and the occasional gull call from the harbor. I spent a morning on that balcony, sipping a coffee and watching the city wake up—there’s a rhythm to Gdańsk that comes alive at dawn, especially near the old port. The bathroom is surprisingly modern, with a walk‑in shower that has a great water pressure and a small, well‑placed mirror that doesn’t glare off the bathroom lights. The only thing that could use a little more polish is the small kitchenette; the fridge is a bit cramped, but you can still pop a quick snack there.

Parking is a breeze—there’s a multi‑level underground lot right next to the hotel, and you can park for a modest fee even in the busy summer months. I parked there on a Saturday in August and got back to the front desk just in time to catch the evening ferry to Sopot. The noise from the harbor is a gentle background hum, and the hotel’s walls are thick enough that you don’t feel the traffic from Jana Heweliusza street. The check‑in process was quick and friendly; the receptionist had a small brochure that highlighted hidden gems like the nearby St. Mary’s Church and the old fish market. I appreciated the tip to try the pierogi at a stall on St. Dominik’s street—delicious, and it’s a quick walk away.

What really sets Maya’s Flats & Resorts 47 – Heweliusza Gdansk apart is the sense of authenticity. They’ve kept the décor minimal, letting the room feel like a private sanctuary amid the city’s bustle. The hotel’s location is perfect if you want to be close to the Old Town but not in the thick of the tourist crowds. You can walk to the Gdańsk Opera in under ten minutes, and the ferry to Sopot is a short hop from the harbor—ideal for a day trip. The only downside I noticed was the slightly noisy air conditioning unit in the evenings, but it’s a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things.

If you’re planning a trip during the summer, be prepared for more foot traffic on Jana Heweliusza and the surrounding streets, but the hotel’s quiet rooms make it easy to escape the city’s buzz. In the winter, the area becomes almost deserted, and you’ll find that the quiet is almost meditative. I left the hotel with a sense of calm and a few souvenirs from a local market—an embroidered scarf and a jar of amber honey. Maya’s Flats & Resorts 47 – Heweliusza Gdansk is a solid choice if you want a homey base that still keeps you close to everything Gdańsk has to offer. Trust me, you’ll be glad you chose this spot, and you’ll probably find yourself telling friends about it for months afterward.
