Old Town Torunska

Old Town Torunska Overview

Old Town Torunska sits on Toruńska 11, just a stone’s throw from Gdańsk’s bustling market square. Honestly, walking up to the entrance feels like stepping back into the 14th‑century streets, except the building itself is a sleek 4‑star gem that blends historic charm with modern comfort. The lobby is surprisingly quiet, the kind of calm you get after a long day of exploring the old city’s cobbles. Check‑in was a breeze—no long queues, just a friendly receptionist who handed me a digital key and a quick guide to the neighborhood. I remember her telling me that the nearest parking spot is actually a bit farther down on the side street, but there’s a free spot right in front of the hotel, which is a lifesaver for a car‑toting visitor.

You know what? One of the things that really makes Old Town Torunska stand out is its proximity to the local culinary scene. Right next door, on the corner of Toruńska and Gdańska, there’s a tiny pierogi spot called „Pierogarnia Kwiat” that serves the best potato and mushroom pierogi I’ve ever had. The aroma of fresh dumplings wafts through the window as you walk past, and I swear you can hear the bubbling pot from the lobby. A short walk down to the market square brings you face‑to‑face with the iconic St. Mary’s Church—its spire is a great photo backdrop in the early morning light. For a quieter afternoon, take a stroll along the Motława River; the water’s gentle hum and the dappled shade from the old oak trees create a surprisingly serene atmosphere, even in the middle of summer.

But let’s be honest: the hotel’s location is a double‑edged sword. The street outside is lively, with street performers and tourists snapping photos, which means the area can get noisy around 7 p.m. If you’re a light sleeper, it might be worth asking for a room on an upper floor—although the elevator is a bit of a bottleneck during peak check‑out hours. The rooms themselves, while modern and spacious, feel a little cramped in the bathroom; a toasty, 35‑square‑meter space that’s great for a quick shower, but not for a full spa day. The bed, though, is a solid win—plush pillows and a mattress that feels like a pre‑tucked blanket. And the breakfast spread? It’s a mix of Polish pastries, fresh fruit, and a surprisingly good coffee machine, which, in my opinion, is a win for those who consider morning caffeine a necessity.

If you’re planning a trip in July or August, you’ll find the area buzzing with tourists, and the street noise is at its peak. But if you’re heading in late September or early October, the crowds thin out, the air takes on a crisp, salt‑laden scent from the Baltic, and you can actually hear the wind whistling through the old stone walls. The hotel’s rating of 9 is well-deserved—most reviewers rave about the staff’s warmth and the thoughtful little touches, like the complimentary kettle for tea lovers. And if you’re a foodie, the on‑site restaurant, Old Town Torunska, offers a menu that’s a nod to both Polish classics and international flavors, with a seasonal twist that keeps things exciting. All in all, it’s the kind of place you’ll feel genuinely welcome in, whether you’re a first‑time visitor to Gdańsk or a seasoned traveler looking for a cozy spot to call home for a few days.

• Dennis from Germany – 3 August 2024 (9/10)

  Alles in allem war es top.
  Lage zu Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants super.
  Wenn man mit Frühstück gebucht hat, steht dieses in Tüten verpackt um 8 Uhr vor der Tür.
  Dies beinhaltet 2 Brötchen, Wurst, Käse, Ei, Gemüse und eine Süßspeise. Kaffee kann man sich selbst machen.
  
  What could be improved: Parkplatz nicht für große Autos.
  Man muss erst in die Wohnung, um dort die Schlüssel und dir Fernbedienung für die Tiefgarage zu holen.
  Ausschilderung zur Tiefgarage fehlt, denn das ist nicht die Einfahrt direkt am Haus, sondern 50 m daneben.

• Justas from Lithuania – 3 July 2023 (8/10)

  nice location, shops, caffes just meters away. City center and touristic attractions reachable by feet. Everything you need is here.
  
  What could be improved: a bit noisy in the evenings/nights, especially weekends.
