K2013 Astra Grand-Tourist

K2013 Astra Grand-Tourist Overview

K2013 Astra Grand-Tourist sits tucked away on Jana Heweliusza, a quiet side street that you only spot if you’re strolling past the bustling Motławy Market. I remember the first time I saw it, the façade was a clean slate of glass and steel that felt almost too modern for the historic Gdańsk backdrop. The address, 10 Jana Heweliusza, 80-890 Gdańsk, Poland, is easy to find if you’re using a GPS, but if you’re walking from the old town, a quick turn onto Wołodyjowskiego and a few blocks north gets you there. The check‑in was surprisingly effortless – the front desk staff greeted me with a friendly, “Dzień dobry!” and handed me a keycard without any paperwork hassle (no long lines, no confusing brochures). The lobby had a muted color palette and a small bar with local craft beers – perfect for a quick drink after a day of sightseeing.

The room itself was spacious, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that opened onto a view of the city’s cobblestone streets. I found the mattress to be a bit on the firmer side, but the extra pillows made it comfortable enough for a decent night’s sleep. The bathroom was a bright, minimalist space; the shower had that soothing “rain” setting that made me feel like I was in a spa. One thing I noticed was the noise from the street – not too loud, but you could hear the occasional car horn and the distant chatter of market vendors. I’d say the hotel does a decent job of isolating you from the city, especially if you book a room on a higher floor. Parking is available on the property itself, though it’s a bit of a walk from the main entrance, and the rates are reasonable compared to other 4‑star options. I appreciated the free Wi‑Fi, though it can be spotty during peak tourist season (mid‑June to early September), so if you’re a digital nomad you might want to bring a portable hotspot.

Now, about the neighborhood – you’ll find that the hotel is just a stone’s throw from the bustling Żuraw Street, where you can grab a quick pierogi or a glass of local amber beer. For a more relaxed vibe, head over to the nearby Szeroka street; there’s a little café that serves the best latte in town, and the sidewalk is lined with vintage shops. The hotel’s own restaurant, K2013 Bistro, is a bit of a hidden gem – their fish soup is literally the best you’ll find in Gdańsk. Honestly, the staff there were enthusiastic about local cuisine and even recommended the best pierogi spots around. If you’re looking to explore the Old Town, the walk takes about ten minutes, and you’ll be treated to the sights of St. Mary’s Church and the Royal Castle. The hotel’s rating of 8.6 reflects the overall experience – you get a blend of modern comfort and authentic local flavor, with a few small quirks that only add to the charm. The next time you’re in Gdańsk, consider staying at K2013 Astra Grand-Tourist; it’s the kind of place that feels like a quiet, private home after a day of city adventures.
