Fama Residence Gdańsk Old Town

Fama Residence Gdańsk Old Town Overview

Fama Residence Gdańsk Old Town sits smack in the middle of the historic district, right on Długa Street where the cobblestones still echo with the clatter of horse‑drawn carts and the chatter of tourists. As soon as you step inside, you’re hit with that unmistakable blend of old‑world charm and modern polish – the wooden beams, the exposed brick, and those airy, sun‑lit rooms that feel like a second home. The staff greet you with a warm smile and a quick, efficient check‑in that makes you feel like you’re part of an exclusive club, not just a hotel guest. (Honestly, the reception was so friendly that I almost fumbled my phone because I was scrolling through my itinerary instead of paying the bill.)

The location is, well, a dream. You’re literally a stone’s throw from the iconic St. Mary’s Church, the Gdańsk Crane, and that bustling Main Market Square where street musicians play polka tunes and vendors sell pierogi that melt in your mouth. If you’re craving a quiet breakfast, just head down to the tiny café on Głogowska Street – it’s a local favorite, and the croissants are still flaky. But if you’re in the mood for a night out, keep an eye on the noise level; the square can get pretty loud after sunset, especially during the summer holidays. I parked a couple of blocks away on Plac Zamkowy, and the parking lot was packed, but the staff had a system to keep everything organized – no awkward waiting in line. (I mean, I didn’t get stuck in a traffic jam, which is a relief.)

When it comes to staying inside, the rooms are clean, with a surprisingly luxurious touch – think plush bedding and a balcony that gives you a panoramic view of the Motława River. The bathroom is a tiny, stylish oasis: a rain shower that feels like a spa treatment and a cute, deep‑soaking tub for those who want to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The Wi‑Fi is fast enough that I could stream my favorite show even on a low‑bandwidth connection. I should note that the building is older, so the elevator can be a bit slow, but that’s part of the charm; it’s like stepping back in time. (And if you’re sensitive to noise, the room’s windows are double‑glazed, so you won’t hear the market’s chatter in the middle of the night. I slept like a log, which is a big win.)

The real magic, though, is the little touches that make you feel like a resident rather than a tourist. The staff will recommend the best spot for a midnight snack: the bakery on Motława Street, where the scent of fresh rye bread wafts through the air. They’ll also tell you about the hidden gem cafés tucked away on the alleys of Stare Miasto – places locals call “the secret bars” because they’re off the beaten path. (I found one behind a curtain of ivy that had a live jazz band every Thursday; it was a game changer for my night out.) All in all, Fama Residence Gdańsk Old Town is a place that pretty much gets it right: a blend of history, comfort, and that authentic, locals‑only vibe that makes your trip feel like a story you’ll tell your friends for years.

  The hotel is in good location, at the beginning of the pedestrian street. The room was nice on the pedestrian street side, but there was no noise coming from there. The breakfast had a wide selection.

  This was my second stay at Fama Residence, and once again, it exceeded my expectations.

• Laura from United Kingdom – 22 May 2025 (10/10)

  The building was incredibly beautiful, located a step away from the station and in the main street. Breakfast was very nice with lots of variety. Room was quite large and super comfortable for a family of 4 (young toddlers). Amelia the receptionist was incredibly sweet to our children.
  The hotel has a lift
  
  What could be improved: They require cash for the tax but there are ATMs everywhere. It was a great hotel

• Petr from Malta – 21 May 2025 (10/10)

  Nice hotel in the center of the historical part of Gdansk. Sparkling clean room, comfortable bed, good soundproof windows + efficient AC/ventilation system provide fresh air and allow you to sleep with closed windows and cut street noise. Stay there 3rd time with much pleasure.
  
  What could be improved: Prices grew significantly during the last year (((

• Jonas from Sweden – 20 May 2025 (10/10)

• Victoria from United States – 19 May 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and beautiful architecture near the Golden Gate
  
  What could be improved: The room was small and the full size bed barely left enough room to move about in the room. Room 207 should only be used as a twin. Otherwise, I loved the property.
