Przystań Motława

Przystań Motława Overview

Przystań Motława is tucked away on Tartaczna 2, just a stone’s throw from the old harbor and the bustling Motława River. The moment I stepped out of the elevator, the salty breeze from the water hit me, and I could hear the distant clatter of the fishing boats on the pier. Honestly, the first thing you notice is how the building’s façade blends old brick with modern glass, giving it that classic‑but‑refreshing vibe. I remember standing on the street, watching the street‑car glide past, and thinking, “This is exactly the kind of spot locals would brag about.” The hotel’s 4‑star rating (9.4 on the review site) is no exaggeration; the attention to detail is real, from the polished wooden floors to the subtle scent of fresh linen that lingers in the lobby.

The rooms—well, they’re spacious enough that you can actually spread out your suitcase without feeling cramped, and the view from the balcony of the Motława River is a daily postcard. I mean, if you’re into that whole “wake up to the sound of gulls and the hum of the city” thing, you’ll love it. The bed is plush, the pillows are plump, and there’s a small complimentary tea station that’s a lifesaver after a day of exploring. Service-wise, the front desk staff remembered my name right away; they were friendly, not overly formal, and they offered a free map of the old town with handwritten notes about the best pier-side cafés. Parking is a bit of a hunt—there’s a small on‑site garage, but it’s tight, so I ended up using the street parking near the canal, which was surprisingly quiet even in the evenings. The check‑in process was quick; the key card was given with a casual, “Enjoy your stay,” and no one bothered me with a long spiel.

When it comes to food, the in‑house bistro is a hidden gem. The breakfast buffet had fresh pierogi, smoked trout, and a buttery croissant that melted in your mouth—no fancy fluff, just solid quality. Lunch and dinner are a bit pricier, but the sea‑food grill and the local Polish borscht are worth every penny. If you’re craving something lighter, there’s a street‑food cart right outside that sells the best zapiekanka in town. The noise level is surprisingly low; the only real disturbance is the occasional honk from a passing trawler, which just adds to the atmosphere. I stayed through the peak tourist season, and while the city buzzes, Przystań Motława remains a calm oasis. The staff are always ready to recommend weekend walks along the Motława or an evening stroll to the nearby St. Mary’s Church, which is truly a must‑see. All in all, this place feels like a well‑kept secret that locals cherish and visitors love to discover.
