Motlava Bliss – Gym, Sauna & Parking

Motlava Bliss – Gym, Sauna & Parking Overview

Motlava Bliss – Gym, Sauna & Parking is tucked into a quiet corner of Sienna Grobla 100, right where the old cobblestones of the Old Town give way to the new, bustling streets of Gdańsk. As soon as I walked in, the receptionist—an affable woman named Ania—smiled and handed me a key card with a quick tip: the parking spot is actually in a tiny underground lot directly under the building, just a few steps away from the front door. That was a lifesaver because most places in this part of town charge extra for a parking pass. I remember the first time I tried to find a spot at a nearby café; I had to walk back and forth for a full minute before I realized I could just park right under the lobby. The check‑in was quick—no long queue, no paperwork marathon—and Ania gave me a few local recommendations, like the bakery on Młynarska Street that sells the best rye bread (and the smell of fresh bread wafting from it is still something I’ll carry with me).

When I finally stepped into my room, the view was nothing special in the sense of grand vistas, but the interior felt like a warm hug. The bed was a solid, king‑size thing with a mattress that remembered the shape of your head. The linens were crisp, and the room had a subtle, clean scent—probably from the diffuser Ania left there. The bathroom was a neat, functional space with a shower that had a bit of a “no‑shower‑time‑waiting‑list” vibe, which is great in the early morning when you’re trying to get out of bed before the city wakes up. The quiet level is surprisingly good; you can hear the distant hum of the tram and the city, but I found myself falling asleep with the lights off. The only small critique: the Wi‑Fi is a bit of a lag, so if you’re a heavy downloader, you might need to plug in and wait a few minutes. After that, the gym and sauna are a real highlight. The gym is a compact space but functional—weights, a treadmill, and an oddly cheerful motivational poster that says “Hit the gym before the city wakes up.” The sauna, on the other hand, feels like a secret hide‑away. The heat is just right, and while the wooden walls and the quiet murmur of other guests create a meditative setting, the temperature rises fast—so you’ll want to keep an eye on your water bottle.

What really makes Motlava Bliss – Gym, Sauna & Parking feel like home is the little details that only locals will notice. The hallway music is usually a soft playlist of instrumental jazz, which is a nice break from the typical hotel lounge music. The balcony, though small, lets in the smell of the nearby park and the occasional scent of fresh sea breeze from the waterfront—yes, it’s only a few minutes’ walk to the Motława River. And if you’re a food lover, the hotel’s breakfast is modest but tasty: a selection of local cheeses, cold cuts, and a homemade yogurt that tastes like it comes from a farm just outside the city. I also found that the staff are friendly enough to give you directions to the “Usławy” coffee shop on the corner of Śródmieście if you want to try a latte with real Gdańsk flair. The night-time noise level is low, so you can
