Na Piaskach – The Love Bridge by Downtown Apartments

Na Piaskach – The Love Bridge by Downtown Apartments Overview

Na Piaskach – The Love Bridge by Downtown Apartments is tucked right on 6 Na Piaskach, just a stone’s throw from the old riverbank. I remember walking in on a misty morning, the air heavy with the scent of seaweed and fresh coffee from the corner kiosk on Długa. The front desk was this small, almost cozy lounge where the manager greets you with a grin and a quick “Welcome back!” after you’ve clocked in. The lobby itself feels less like a hotel and more like a communal living room—soft leather chairs, a few mismatched tables, and that big window framing the Motława. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the city’s pulse right from the moment you step inside, which honestly makes you appreciate the vibe a lot more.

Parking isn’t a huge headache if you’re coming from the city center. The street right in front of the building has a pay‑and‑display system, but you can actually walk a block to the tiny lot behind the old bakery on Mariacka, where the locals keep their cars and the rates are more forgiving. (You know what, the parking fee at the lot is almost the same as the street, but you’re not fighting the traffic, so I prefer it.) The noise level is decent—there’s the occasional rumble of the tram line, but the building’s double‑glazed windows keep the traffic chatter at bay. Early mornings in winter are surprisingly quiet, except for that distant, rhythmic clatter of the vintage tram pulling into port. Summer, though, brings a buzz of tourists and the music spilling from a nearby café, which gives the place a lively, almost electric feel. If you’re a light sleeper, I’d say book a room on the top floor or ask for a room on a higher level; the sea breeze there is a gentle lullaby and the noise from the street is practically a whisper.

The check‑in experience is as laid‑back as the rest of the place. The staff is quick and friendly, but if you’re in a hurry, they’ll get you in without fuss. I found the Wi‑Fi a bit sluggish during the peak tourist season, especially on the 3rd floor, so if you’re a digital nomad, consider bringing a portable hotspot. On the bright side, the breakfast spread is a real treat—think freshly baked rye bread, a selection of Polish cheeses, and that famous pierogi with a homemade tomato sauce that you can’t get anywhere else in the city. The bathrooms are clean and modern, with a touch of rustic charm from the exposed wooden beams. The only real critique I have is that the mini‑bar is a bit pricey, but you know what, a quick espresso and a small snack is worth it when you’re looking to unwind after a day of exploring the Old Town. All in all, Na Piaskach – The Love Bridge by Downtown Apartments feels like a home away from home, with the right mix of local flavor, practical conveniences, and a touch of that Gdańsk charm that makes you want to come back again and again.

Best hotels in Gdansk range from charming boutique properties in the historic Main Town to elegant waterfront hotels with stunning views of the Motława River and Gothic architecture.

  Помешкання стильне і затишне.

• Magdalena from Poland – 9 March 2025 (8/10)

  Lokalizacja świetnia. Ilość przestrzeni akurat dla 5 osob. Cichutko. W pobliżu miejsca gdzie można zjeść.

• Emma from United Kingdom – 2 December 2024 (8/10)

  Beautifully clean and nicely decorated. Great location
  
  What could be improved: Apartment is third floor with no lift so worth bearing in mind when travelling with luggage

• Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 25 October 2024 (9/10)

  Beautifully decorated with all amenities you needed. Nice and quiet in great location. Very pretty and close to town. Nice little Italian restaurant at end of street. Comfy beds.
  
  What could be improved: Not a problem for us but 6 flights of stairs. You need to be fairly fit.

• David from Ireland – 28 March 2024 (8/10)

  Charming little apartment, excellent location. Tastefully decorated, bright and warm. With Żabka just on the doorstep and amazing bakery 2 min away.

• Patrick from Ireland – 24 December 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was modern, comfortable, very clean and centrally located.
  
  What could be improved: The shower and low ceiling and also the three flights of stairs to reach the apartment

• Jemma from United Kingdom – 18 December 2023 (8/10)

  Great location, excellent communication, and apartment was very clean.

• Craig from Australia – 17 September 2023 (9/10)

  Great location. Clean and excellent condition apartment. Close to the action but still quiet. Easy to get access to on arrival. We would stay here again without question.
  
  What could be improved: It’s the top floor so you have the angled roof around the apartment. Not a big issue in general (adds charm to the pace really), but for taller people the shower requires a slight hunch. But you can use the bathtub if you want to fully relax.

• Jerko from Croatia – 29 August 2023 (8/10)

  Apartment is very nice, very nice designed and equipped very well, spacious rooms with excellent fans (no air condition in apartment, but we did not need it -fans are perfect!).
  We liked 3 TVs (big ones in each bedroom, and 3rd in the kitchen!), there was always free spot on the parking in front of the flat.
  It is not far from the center, about 10 minutes walk.
  
  What could be improved: We did not like their check-in instructions- they sent the link for registration which did not work for 2 days. Without registration you can not enter in apartment. After we received check-in instruction, in next days we could enter only with codes (lot of numbers!), we did not have keys for entering in building and apartment – maybe they forget to leave keys in apartment for us?
