HOTEL ALMOND BUSINESS & SPA BY GRANO Gdańsk

HOTEL ALMOND BUSINESS & SPA BY GRANO Gdańsk Overview

HOTEL ALMOND BUSINESS & SPA BY GRANO Gdańsk sits on Toruńska 12, right where the old merchant quarter meets the modern pulse of the city. From the first step inside, you feel the shift from cobblestones outside to the warm, polished floors inside. The lobby, with its brushed‑metal accents and a mural of the Motława River, instantly says this is a place that cares about the vibe of Gdańsk. The front desk staff—two young Poles, one with a friendly smirk and the other, quieter, just nodding—welcome you with a quick, “Cześć, welcome!” and then zoom straight to the digital key setup. Honestly, the check‑in was a breeze; no long lines, no awkward waiting, just a quick scan and a friendly “Enjoy your stay, and let me know if you need anything.” (I mean, this is a hotel that actually knows how to make you feel at home.)

When you step into your room, the first thing you notice is the large window overlooking the street. It’s a great spot for the morning brew—there’s a small coffee machine that, while not a full café, does a decent espresso. The walls are a muted beige that keeps the room calm, and the queen bed feels like a nest, thanks to the memory foam mattress that isn’t too firm. The bathroom is a sleek, glass‑door style, with a rain shower that makes you think of those spa days that the hotel advertises. The only thing you might miss is that the bathtub is a little small for a full soak, but the hot tub in the spa wing makes up for it. And speaking of the spa, it’s a hidden gem: a sauna with cedar wood, a hot tub that opens onto a small terrace with a view of the river, and a quiet space to stretch that feels like a secret garden. You’ll hear the faint hum of the city outside, but it’s mellowed out nicely by the walls and the double glazing.

Parking is a bit of a mixed bag, I’ll admit. There’s a paid underground lot two blocks away—so close that you can walk over in a minute. The rates are reasonable, but it’s a paid space, so you’ll need to bring your card or set up a Google Pay thing. It’s best to arrive early on a weekday; on weekends the lot can get full, and you’ll be forced to find street parking. The street itself is noisy because of the traffic on Toruńska, but the hotel’s soundproofing is solid. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll still get a decent night’s rest. The only critique I have is that the hotel’s Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty in the older rooms, but the newer ones are fine—so it depends on where you end up staying.

The hotel’s location is a real advantage if you’re looking to explore Gdańsk beyond the tourist trails. From the lobby, you can walk to the St. Mary’s Church in about 15 minutes, and the golden skyline of the Old Town is a short stroll away. For a more local vibe, head over to the Piotrkowska Street—there’s a quirky café called “Café Słońce” where you can grab a latte and watch the world go by. The hotel’s own restaurant serves a decent brunch on weekends, with a good selection of Polish breads and a croissant that’s actually flaky. If you’re in the mood for a night out, the nearby “Wieża” nightclub is just a short bus ride, and the music there is always lively. Overall, HOTEL ALMOND BUSINESS & SPA BY GRANO Gdańsk feels like a thoughtful, well‑run place that knows the city’s rhythm and caters to travelers who want both comfort and a touch of local flavor.
