Exactly. I thought you'd use "comfy" in "a comfy chair" ("Oh no! Not the comfy chair!!") but would you say you were at a "comfy party"?
I think you'd use "gezellig" as somewhere in the middle between "boring" and "totally raving we-were-breaking-down-the-place", but on the good side of it. So if you were at a "gezellige" party, there would be enough to drink but people wouldn't get totally pissed; no nude dancers on the table but no awkward silences either :-)
Cheers,
