Maya’s Flats & Resorts – Old Town Piwna

Maya’s Flats & Resorts – Old Town Piwna Overview

Maya’s Flats & Resorts – Old Town Piwna sits right on ul. Piwna 59/60, just a stone’s throw from the Motława River and the bustling Gdańsk Old Town. I first walked up to it on a breezy Saturday afternoon, when the cobblestones were still slick from a light drizzle and the scent of freshly baked pierogi drifted from a stall on ul. Gdańska. The building itself is a blend of modern glass panels and classic brickwork, a nod to the city’s mix of old and new. When I checked in, the staff handed me a small keycard and a map that highlighted the hidden gem of the nearby Żuraw (the Crane), the only way to see the medieval skyline from the water. Honestly, the front desk was surprisingly friendly for a 4-star place; they even offered me a free bottle of local wine to unwind after my flight.

I stayed in the 16th apartment, which feels like a private loft more than a hotel room. The bed is a king-size, covered in a thick, buttery duvet that feels like a hug. The window faces the river, and the view of the sunset over the Old Town is something you don’t see every day—just a few feet away from the iconic St. Mary’s Church, its spire practically tapping the sky. The room’s texture is a mix of soft linens and durable hardwood floors that echo your footsteps. I woke up at 6 a.m. and could hear the city stirring; there was a gentle hum of scooters, the distant clang of a fishing boat, and the faint hiss of the tram as it passed. That early morning noise is oddly comforting, a reminder that Gdańsk never really sleeps.

Parking is a lifesaver here. They’ve got a small lot just behind the hotel, so you don’t have to hunt for street parking on the busy ul. Piotrkowska. The staff will give you a code for a spot that’s right by the entrance, and they’re quick to tell you about a van service that can fetch your luggage from the lot if you’re lugging a suitcase. The check‑in was smooth, almost like a digital handshake—no long lines, just a quick scan of your ID and a welcome packet that included a map of the city, a list of recommended cafés, and a note about the best time to catch the night market on ul. Głogowska (hint: after 8 p.m., it’s less crowded, but the food is still as good as ever). My only gripe was the noise from the nearby nightlife after 10 p.m.; the building’s walls are decent, but you’ll still hear the muffled bass from the bars across the street. That said, the noise level is far below what you’d expect from a hotel in such a vibrant area, and the staff was quick to offer a small discount if you’d like a quieter room on your next stay.

The real charm, though, is the way the hotel’s location lets you slip into the city’s rhythm without feeling lost. From the lobby you can stroll down ul. Cieszyńska, where local artists display their work on easels, or hop over to the Gdańsk Shipyard for an afternoon of industrial chic. The coffee shop on ul. Miodowa, just a two‑minute walk away, offers a cappuccino that’s practically a ritual; the barista knows your order by the second. If you’re into history, the museum on ul. Jagiellońska is a stone’s throw away and offers a free audio guide that the staff kindly handed out. I found myself wandering into a quirky bookstore on ul. Słowackiego, where the smell of old paper mingled with the fresh polish coffee. And when the day winds down, you can enjoy a quiet drink at the hotel’s rooftop terrace, which has a view that feels like a postcard—just remember to leave your umbrella at the front desk, because the wind can be a bit mischievous in the evenings.

All in all, Maya’s Flats & Resorts – Old Town Piwna feels like a home that’s grown up in the heart of Gdańsk. It’s not flashy, but it’s practical, with a vibe that’s all about the city’s pulse. The staff are genuinely helpful, the rooms are cozy, the parking is a blessing, and the nearby streets are a treasure trove of local life. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, I’d say this place is a go‑to spot that lets you be a part of the city’s everyday rhythm while still enjoying your own slice of comfort.

Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.
