Great little Hotel near to everything
Great location in the old town, it is quiet and near the river. Breakfast was excellent and so was the service. This is a great hotel to stay in for visiting, very near all amenities. I would highly recommend.

The hotel is a charming, storied old lady, very much in need of rehabilitation. Stabilizing creaky boards, updating and painting would be a good start. Outside of the shabby condition, all was wonderful and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Quiet location short walk away from main town. Staff service was excellent. We asked if we could leave our cases at hotel as arriving early. They had our room feady early. Was also able to provide gluten free food at breakfast. Hotel is not modern in that you have a bathtub instead of a shower but accept that as booking it for it's charming decor. Best staff and service have encountered when traveling

Little Gem in Gdansk
We stayed for one night as family in two rooms with our small dogs, the rooms are nicely decorated in a style fitting the hotel itself, rooms are comfortable and spacious.would recommend to book canal view rooms as they are light and quiet at night time. The cold breakfast selection is small but has everything you would need, with freshly cooked eggs (via preorder) which were tasty. The best thing is staff they are friendly and professional in their manner and made the brief stay very nice. We will definitely return on our next visit to Gdansk, the location is a short walk to the town centre which we found perfect for access by car or foot.

Sadly we were only there overnight as we got caught up in the mass evacuation before lockdown. The staff were fabulous, and really helpful in trying to sort things for us. It was spotlessly clean, and when the virus chaos is over, I would love to return!

Great historic hotel with limited number of rooms and located off the beaten path. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The rooms have the design of a completely different era, retaining old furnitures and decor. If you like modern design, this hotel is probably not for you.

Touch of Class
Great short stay. The room and service were everything we could have wanted. We weren't interested in swimming facilities, 300 channel satellite tv etc. What we were after was a classic, old style quality hotel with a touch of class. That is what we got in abundance. Near the old town with fantastic views over the marina. Breakfast was lovely and my very demanding brother-in law thought it was superb. Plenty of choice on the buffet as well as cooked options. The staff were warm and friendly and were always available to help with any questions. Its a small hotel but all the better for it. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel in great location
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. From the moment we stepped into the hotel we loved it. We had a lovely welcome. We stayed in room 102. A delux room with a river view. It was perfect. Extremely comfortable. We received complimentary liquer, chocolates and water. Lovely little touches. The hotel was extremely quiet all though there were other guests staying. The breakfasts were delicious. So much to choose from. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to relax in comfort. All staff were wonderful.

lodging fit for a ship's capitain
A small, deluxe hotel, situated across the river (alongside marina dockage) from the center of Old Town, with the expected beautiful and panoramic view of the Stare Miasto. A five minute walk to the old entrance gate to cross the river, or a one minute ferry (when operating, limited hours). Excellent, English-fluent staff, considerate, helpful, and efficient. Fine breakfast buffet with extensive offerings, dining room serves as suberb choice for dinner (finest halibut I have ever enjoyed, delicious smoked goose breast appetizer). Charming and secure area. Two nights at this fine hotel, in this picturesque old port, not nearly enough. Treat yourself to a guided tour, as the history of the town and region rather complex. Do remember that weather can change rapidly-- expect similar to Netherlands.

this is a beautiful, well equipped hotel in a very good location. The hotel is beautifully decorated. The staff were excellent, very friendly and very efficient. The location is quiet with an excellent view of the Gdansk crane and marina. A 10 minute walk to town which meant away from the centre but close enough to make access easy. The room was very comfortable and spacious. There was a very good selection of food for breakfast which was very tasty and well presented.

Beautiful, quiet hotel on the edge of the Old Town
A lovely stay at this hotel - appreciated the welcome drink in the room, the excellent breakfast buffet, and very well appointed rooms. Even though our rooms were on the ground floor, there was no noise at all at night. Easy walk to the main sights. Would definitely stay here again!
