Motława

Motława Overview

I still can’t get over how cozy Motława feels, especially after a long day wandering the cobblestones of the Old Town. It’s tucked right off Jaglana, so you’re practically a stone’s throw from the Vistula’s banks—there’s that sweet, salty breeze that only a waterfront can give (you can almost taste the sea). When I first stepped into the lobby, the scent of fresh coffee and a hint of sea‑spray immediately grounded me; it reminded me of those early‑morning walks I used to do along the promenade. The check‑in was surprisingly quick—no long queues, no fuss—just a friendly receptionist who remembered my name and handed me a digital map that already had the best spots highlighted. She even tipped me off that the elevator takes a minute or two to reach the top floor; it’s worth the wait because the view from the balcony is simply unbeatable, especially at sunset when the sky turns that perfect warm amber. The rooms themselves are a mix of classic Polish décor and modern touches: the bed feels like you’re being cradled by clouds, and the bathroom—let’s be honest—has a stone‑slab shower that’s both luxurious and functional. I mean, it’s not a spa, but the water pressure is spot on, and there’s that subtle scent of lavender that lingers in the air.

Now, let’s talk about the practical stuff. Parking is a piece of cake; there’s a small underground lot right next to the building with a flat fee that’s way cheaper than the city’s central lots. When I parked, the attendants were super friendly and even explained how to get to the nearest bus stop—something you don’t get at every hotel in Gdańsk. The noise level? Honestly, it’s one of the quietest spots you’ll find in the city center. The only thing that occasionally ruffles the peace is the evening chatter from the bar downstairs, but that’s a small price to pay for a spot where you can actually hear the waves. The breakfast buffet was a delightful surprise; they had freshly baked local pastries, a selection of cheeses that would make any foodie swoon, and a smorgasbord of fruit that looked like it had just been harvested. I even got to sip a strong Polish espresso that, frankly, blew my expectations out of the water—no weak shots, just a perfect, bittersweet kick to start the day.

If you’re planning a stay during the summer rush, here’s a heads‑up: the rooftop lounge becomes a hotspot around 8 pm, so if you’re sensitive to crowds or have an early morning flight, you might want to book a room on the lower floors. The staff is incredibly accommodating, so just let them know, and they’ll usually have a quieter spot ready for you. Local tip: after you finish your swim in the Vistula, swing by the nearby “Krowodrza” street. It’s a hidden gem with a handful of cozy cafés and a small art gallery that showcases contemporary Polish artists. The vibe there is laid‑back, and you’ll notice the locals frequenting the places, giving you a genuine feel of Gdańsk’s culture. All in all, Motława is the kind of place that feels like a home away from home, but with that extra touch of polish and a pinch of seaside charm. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well‑located spot that doesn’t skimp on ambience or convenience, this is it. I can’t wait to come back—especially to hear that familiar sea breeze again.
