Blue Mandarin Garden Gates

Blue Mandarin Garden Gates Overview

Blue Mandarin Garden Gates is tucked away on 18 Długie Ogrody, just a short hop from the old town’s cobblestone maze. I arrived around sunset, the sky a bruised purple, and the street lights flickered on like fireflies. The front desk was a small, wooden table with a handwritten sign that read “Welcome” in Polish and English. The staff greeted me with a warm smile, and the key card was handed over with a quick explanation of the elevator’s quirks – it stops on every floor, so you never have to press the button twice, which is surprisingly handy if you’re lugging a suitcase. The check‑in process itself was quick; no long lines, no endless forms, just a friendly chat about the best spots to hit in Gdańsk. (I was a bit nervous about the language barrier, but the receptionist was fluent and even handed me a map with her own handwritten notes on where to find the best pierogi stalls.)

The room, a cozy 25‑square‑meter space, had a view that looked out over a small courtyard garden, which, honestly, feels like a secret oasis in the middle of a bustling city. The bed was a plush, king‑size mattress that remembered the exact contour of my back after a day of walking. The bathroom had a rain shower that was surprisingly powerful, and the shower head was a little older but still works like a charm. The décor was a blend of modern Polish design and subtle Asian touches – a nod to the hotel’s name, I guess. The Wi‑Fi was spot on, and the TV had a decent selection of Polish channels, which is great if you’re staying for a few days and want to pick up a few phrases. I found myself scrolling through the local news app during dinner, and the headline about the new tram line connecting to the beach caught my eye; it’s been a game‑changer for getting around.

When I stepped outside, the street noise was a mix of scooters and the distant hum of the harbor. (You know what, that’s the real Gdańsk vibe.) I headed down to Gdańsk’s main square, the St. Mary’s Church was just a few minutes away – no GPS needed. The hotel’s location means you can walk to the Royal Route, the old port, and even the new art galleries in the morning. Parking is a bit of a hunt; there’s a small paid meter near the entrance that’s free after 10 pm, but otherwise you’ll have to park on the street or use the public lot a block away. During the peak tourist season, the courtyard can get a little crowded, but the hotel staff always keeps a calm vibe and occasionally offers a cool drink if you’re feeling the heat. The quiet hours start around 10 pm, and the noise level drops to almost nothing – perfect for a good night’s sleep after a long day of exploration. All in all, staying at Blue Mandarin Garden Gates felt like having a comfortable, friendly home base in Gdańsk, with all the practical touches you’d need without feeling like a tourist in a generic hotel. If you’re planning a visit, this place is a solid choice, especially if you want to experience the city without the usual tourist traps.

Hotels in Gdansk offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic gem, with easy access to shipyards, museums, and coastal attractions.

  Fabulous apartment, great location

• Jong from Norway – 24 July 2024 (9/10)

  I like Its location the most since there are plenty of convenience stores, restaurants and super markets around the place. And it is easy to get around by walk and public transportation.
  
  What could be improved: No blinds in most windows except two and noisy bedframes. There were not enough kitchen utilities and dinnerwares. Besides, there was a leaking issue in the kitchen sink in spite of the fact that it was barely used.
