Nowa Motława Residence SPA by HappyStay Overview

Nowa Motława Residence SPA by HappyStay is tucked into a quiet block off Jaglana, right where the old port feels like it’s still humming behind the new glass. I remember stepping out of the elevator on the first floor and hearing the distant buzz of trams on Długa Street – a soundtrack that makes Gdańsk feel alive without being too loud. The front desk staff were quick and friendly, and the check‑in was almost instant; the receptionist even handed me a local map with a handwritten note about the best pier to catch sunset lights (the one on the western side of the Old Town). I was told there was a small underground parking spot, and honestly, I didn’t have to wait at all – the place is on a block that’s not too far from the parking lot of the nearby Hotel Gdańsk, which has a free 15‑minute window for tourists.

Inside, the room was a clean, modern space that still carried a touch of Polish charm. The king‑size bed had a tufted headboard that felt like a hug, and the bathroom – oh, the shower – had a glass door that let in a little of that sea breeze, making it feel like you were right on the waterfront. The spa section of the hotel is surprisingly spacious; I booked a 60‑minute massage at 4 p.m. and was greeted by a soothing scent of eucalyptus and a soft playlist of Polish folk tunes. The staff there were professional and spoke a few words in English, which is a relief when you’re not sure how well you’ll get by in the city. The noise level in the rooms is decent; the only occasional hiss comes from the elevator and the far‑away city traffic, which is almost a lullaby at night.

What I found most useful was the little detail about the nearby streets. If you’re looking for a bite after your spa session, there’s a tiny bakery on Kępa Street that serves rye bread and a latte that melts in your mouth. For a quick walk, the cobblestones on Mariacka Street just a block away feel like a slow stroll through history. I did notice that the elevator in the lobby can get a bit cramped during peak check‑in times, but the staff is quick to offer a small cup of coffee – a nice touch. The hotel’s Wi‑Fi is solid, and the breakfast buffet had a selection of local cheeses and fresh fruit that made the mornings a little less rushed. Overall, I’d say Nowa Motława Residence SPA by HappyStay strikes a perfect balance between comfort and authenticity; you’ll feel like a local without compromising on the little luxuries that make a trip memorable.
