Positive Reviews
positive:
Historic building has modern comforts.
Most reviewers thought the hotel was well-appointed and comfortable. Many felt the historic building it occupies had been sympathetically converted into a modern hotel, although those with limited mobility noted there steps to tackle before the elevator. Rooms were generally described as spacious and clean. A few reviewers felt this business class hotel was also family-friendly.
positive:
Warm welcome and good food.
Many guests said personnel were friendly, polite and efficient, providing maps on request and helping arrange airport transfers. Diners were largely pleased with the catering and there was special praise for the extensive buffet breakfast, although some critics felt it was expensive.
positive:
Convenient location and free boat trips.
If you want to explore Gdansk’s pretty old town at a leisurely pace, like many reviewers you might appreciate the free river tours aboard the hotel’s very own motor launch. It carries up to eight passengers and can drop you in old town or provide a round trip. In general, visitors liked the location, which was a short walk from the main sights and a tram stop. However, some guests on foot were uncomfortable about negotiating an underpass in order to reach downtown.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some sub-optimal facilities.
Guests reported that the free Wi-Fi service was mostly fine but occasionally struggled with data-heavy requests like video. Some fitness center users called it a bit small and limited.
negative:
Aspects of rooms disappointed some.
The lack of blackout curtains in the rooms bothered some reviewers; others felt sometimes housekeeping missed little details on their cleaning rounds. Some guests reported that sixth floor rooms had high windows, making the river hard to see.
negative:
Occasional noise.
Despite in-room soundproofing measures, during rush hour some light sleepers reported being disturbed by noise from the main road which passes one side of the hotel.
