M&J Apartments – Nadmotławie

M&J Apartments – Nadmotławie Overview

M&J Apartments – Nadmotławie sits on Sienna Grobla, just a stone’s throw from the Motława River. The first thing that struck me was the gentle hum of the city filtered through the high windows—it felt like a quiet backstage of Gdańsk, with the distant bells of St. Mary’s ringing every hour. Check‑in was a breeze; the front desk staff greeted me with a warm, “Welcome to our home,” and handed over a keycard that glowed a gentle blue. No long queues, no complicated security steps—just a friendly nod and a quick scan, and I was good to go. They did offer a small local map with hand‑drawn notes on the best spots for coffee and a shortcut to the Old Town—handy for a first‑timer like me.

The apartment itself is a tidy, 4‑star space that actually feels like a second bedroom. The living area is bright, with a large window that frames the river and the old wooden docks. I slid into the sofa after a long day, and the couch—plush but firm—was a perfect spot for a quick power nap. The bed is a bit on the firm side, but the sheets are crisp and have that slight “new‑room” feel. All the appliances work flawlessly, from the espresso machine that smells like freshly ground beans to the smart TV that streams local Polish channels. I appreciated the small touches: a basket of fresh herb leaves, a jar of local honey, and a handwritten note that said, “Enjoy your stay, and feel free to ask for any local tips!” The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, with a rain shower that has a steady, soothing spray—no fogging in the mirror, which is a big plus on a humid Polish summer.

Location-wise, you’ll find that M&J Apartments – Nadmotławie is right in the thick of it. Walk a few minutes to the Old Town and you’re surrounded by cobblestones, the bustling fish market, and the iconic Crane Tower. For a quieter afternoon, hop on the tram (no need to worry about parking, as the nearest public parking is just a block away and hardly ever full) and head to the Oliwa Park—there the scent of pine and the gentle buzz of cicadas make for a perfect evening stroll. The noise level inside the apartment is low, mostly just the distant traffic that hums politely in the background. The only real critter that keeps me on my toes is a nightingale that chirps at sunset—beautiful, but a reminder that I’m in a city that never truly sleeps.

Honestly, the only critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi name is a bit generic, and the password is hidden in a drawer that’s a little difficult to find at first glance. But once you get the signal, it’s stable enough for streaming and checking the local time zone—Poland is GMT+2, which is handy for coordinating with friends back home. I visited in late September, just after the high season, so the streets were lively but not overcrowded, and the evenings were cool—perfect for a walk along the river. If you’re traveling during the winter, you can expect a brisk wind off the Baltic, but the building’s double glazing keeps the interior warm and cozy. Overall, M&J Apartments – Nadmotławie is a genuine, comfortable spot that feels like a home away from home, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic slice of Gdańsk without the tourist trappings.

Hotels near me in Gdansk offer convenient access to the old town, where guests can easily walk to Neptune’s Fountain, St. Mary’s Church, and the famous Long Market.
