Hilton Gdansk

Hilton Gdansk Overview

Hilton Gdansk sits right on Targ Rybny, the fish market square that feels like the beating heart of the city. If you walk down the cobblestones, you’ll hear the clatter of fresh cod and the chatter of locals bargaining for the day’s catch. I remember stepping out of the hotel and being greeted by the scent of sea‑salted air and freshly brewed coffee from a nearby café on Pilawa Street. The lobby itself is a mix of sleek Scandinavian design and warm, wooden accents that feel inviting rather than sterile. Check‑in was a breeze; the front desk staff were friendly and could speak a few lines in Polish, which made the whole process feel personal, not just another corporate transaction.

Inside, the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with neutral tones and subtle nautical motifs that echo the nearby harbor. The bed is a cloud‑like mattress that though plush, still keeps the room cool during the humid summer months. I found the noise level surprisingly low, even though the hotel is right next to the bustling long market; the walls are thick enough to muffle the chatter and the occasional street musician. The bathroom is a spa‑like oasis, complete with a deep soaking tub, fluffy towels, and a small selection of locally made soaps that smell like citrus and sea breeze. The in‑room minibar had an impressive collection of Polish vodkas and a few craft beers, but I couldn’t resist the local amber wine in the minibar’s chilled section.

The restaurant on the 12th floor offers a panoramic view of Gdańsk’s skyline. I ordered the pierogi with mushroom filling, and it was surprisingly fresh—no heavy sauces, just a subtle butter glaze that let the flavors shine. The staff were attentive, offering a complimentary glass of local wine that complemented the dish perfectly. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, with a spread that included fresh fruit, artisan breads, and a surprisingly good selection of smoked fish. If you’re a coffee aficionado, the barista on the second floor whips up a latte that’s both creamy and strong, just the way I like it.

Parking is a mixed bag: there’s a paid underground parking lot, but it’s a bit pricey and you have to book a spot a day in advance. Traffic on the streets around Targ Rybny can get a bit hectic during rush hour, especially on Sundays when tourists flock to the Old Town. However, I found that the hotel’s parking is convenient for early‑morning travelers or those wanting to avoid the weekend crowds. If you’re staying during the peak season, from late June to early September, expect the city to be bustling. The hotel’s location is a stone’s throw from the Royal Way and the famous amber market, so you can hop on a tram or walk to the historic tower in no time. For quieter evenings, the hotel’s lobby bar offers a cozy atmosphere, and the staff will often slip you a free bottle of local vodka if you let them know you’ve stayed the whole week.

Honestly, Hilton Gdansk is a solid choice if you want a blend of modern comfort and local flavor. The staff knows the city like the back of their hands, and they’ll point you toward hidden cafés on Głogowska Street or the little art gallery tucked behind the old port warehouses. The only thing to keep in mind is that the hotel’s main entrance can feel a bit formal, so if you’re a bit more adventurous, you might want to use the side entrance on Gdańsk’s main boulevard for a more relaxed vibe. All in all, the experience felt like a home-away-from-home, with a touch of Polish hospitality that’s hard to find elsewhere.
