Where to stay tips
Read StayHere guides on Old Town, the centre, and booking direct.
The Motława and Długie Ogrody sit between the historic Old Town and newer riverside buildings — Garden Gates, granaries, the waterfront and a short walk to the Crane or Granary Island. For many StayHere guests it is the sweet spot: close to sights, often quieter and easier with parking than Długi Targ. Queries like “Motława Gdańsk apartments” point here — not a distant suburb.
Apartments here work for weekends and longer stays. You get a kitchen, self check-in and — on some listings — a garage or parking bay. Useful if you drive or want to return at night without hunting paid spots in the Old Town. A terrace or balcony is a bonus after a day of sightseeing.
Who is it for? Couples who like a waterfront walk, families needing space, longer stays (remote work, a month in Gdańsk) with easy access. Want to sleep next to Neptune? Choose Old Town. Prefer centre + comfort? Motława / Długie Ogrody.
Walking to Długi Targ usually takes 10–20 minutes depending on the exact address. Trams and SKM help for Sopot or Oliwa. Airport: taxi or bus to the centre, then a short hop or walk. Still a central city-break base — with better parking options.
When choosing, check floor and lift, balcony/terrace, parking, street vs courtyard noise, guest limit and cleaning fee. Compare 2–3 StayHere listings in this area — not only the nightly rate. Check pets and cot rules if you travel with family.
A week or month by the Motława is often easier than a loud Old Town street: more space, a daily kitchen, often parking. See StayHere long stays if you want mid-term instead of a classic hotel.
Booking direct means a clear host contact and no OTA fees. This page lists active Motława apartments — pick dates and check availability. Want a townhouse by Mariacka? Open the Old Town district page.
