Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property with limited rooms — With only seven rooms, the hotel may feel intimate but offers limited availability and fewer on-site facilities than larger hotels.
- Attic rooms can be less ideal — One guest was placed in an attic room and felt it was less appealing, despite the offer of an upgrade for a fee.
- Price and service rated lower than other aspects — The rating category for price and service is 6, the lowest among all categories, suggesting some guests may find the value less compelling.
- Parking costs extra — On-site private parking is available but at an additional cost of PLN 100 per day, which may add to the overall expense.

8.9Verified guest“Great location in a quiet area with river views, remarkable staff, and everything was good. There was a wide choice of breakfast food including eggs and bacon. The room was clean and had excellent views of the old town, and the central location was a plus.”
8.9Verified guest“The place is charming and centrally located, yet discreet enough not to suffer from noise. All staff, from reception to the restaurant, were very friendly and helpful in every situation, making us feel truly welcomed. The room was very spacious and comfortable, always spotless, with beautiful decor. It felt like staying in a small mansion. Breakfast was delicious and varied, and the management was attentive to every need. Best of all, it avoids the 'serial' feel of chain hotels—everything is tasteful, personalized, and reflects the identity of Gdansk and Poland. The staff also have impressive knowledge of Polish history. I would return without hesitation.”

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay—we felt looked after and valued as guests. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Gdansk.”
