Planet Gdansk Apartments Mercure Old Nova

Planet Gdansk Apartments Mercure Old Nova Overview

When I first stumbled across Planet Gdansk Apartments Mercure Old Nova on a rainy afternoon, I thought, “Okay, this looks like a modern Airbnb but with a hotel vibe.” It’s tucked right on 3 Panieńska, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Długi Targ, so you’re immediately immersed in that historic Gdańsk buzz. The building itself is a clean, low‑rise block that feels like a local’s flat rather than a tourist trap. I’d say the vibe is cozy, a little like staying in a friend’s apartment that’s got a hotel’s polish—no, not quite a hotel, but it’s got that trust‑worthy, “we’ve got this” feel.

The apartment‑style rooms are genuinely spacious. Imagine a living area, a mini kitchen, and a flat‑screen TV that’s actually big enough to watch a movie without squinting. The beds are surprisingly plush; I swear the mattress had me dreaming about the sea instead of the city. The bathroom is a bright, minimalistic space, and the shower—let’s be honest—it’s a bit of a “you’re good at showering” situation: the water pressure is decent, but the angle could use a tweak. I also liked how the Wi‑Fi was consistently strong, which is a must for those of us who can’t work away from the keyboard. On top of that, the breakfast buffet was surprisingly decent for a 4‑star spot, with fresh pastries that tasted like they came from a local bakery (I’m talking about that buttery croissant that melts on the tongue). Parking was a bit of a hassle; there’s a small underground lot, but it’s full during rush hours, so you might need to juggle a couple of free‑parking spots on Gdańska or even the street a few blocks away—just be ready to walk a few minutes.

What I really appreciated, though, was how the staff greets you like a local, not a tourist. The front desk people were friendly and actually asked if you’d like a quick city guide—yes, they handed me a handwritten map that highlighted the best fish market spots and a little secret café on Ulica Rondo that serves the best espresso. And the check‑in was surprisingly smooth; no long lines, just a quick swipe of the card and a well‑timed keycard. The hotel’s proximity to the Motława River is a win—you can walk to the water in less than five minutes, and the evening light over the cranes is something you’ll want to photograph. I mean, I’ve been to Gdańsk many times, but the view from the 2nd floor, with the old town’s skyline in the background, feels like a personal postcard.

On the downside, the elevators are a bit slow—if you’re on the top floor, you might feel a little impatient. Also, the minibar prices are a tad high for the quantity, so if you’re on a budget, you might want to skip that. Noise can be an issue during the winter holidays, especially if you’re staying on the lower floors, because the city’s nightlife starts early on the Canal. But honestly, it’s a great compromise if you want that boutique feel without paying a fortune for a “boutique hotel.” I’d recommend staying here if you’re planning to explore the Old Town on foot, want a little independence with the apartment comforts, and appreciate a genuine, no‑frills hospitality that feels like a friend’s place. Just pack a small bag of snacks for the minibar, grab the handwritten map, and you’re all set to experience Gdańsk like a local.

Gdansk hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Poland’s maritime capital, known for its rich amber trade history and Solidarity movement heritage.

  What could be improved: –

• Karen from United Kingdom – 26 February 2025 (10/10)

  Very clean modern central apartment. 10-15 minutes walk from the historic centre and the train station. 24 hour security. Seems to include a garage space but we didn't have a car. Very comfortable apartment for 5 with one person needing to sleep on the comfortable sofabed in the living room. Good communication. Generous with coffee capsules and toilet paper for the lengths of our stay, simple but not always the case. Less than 10 minutes walk to a Netto supermarket. We were able to store out luggage on check out day. Could not fault the apartment and would stay again if we return to Gdańsk.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike.

• Gpapachr from Greece – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect

• Eva from United States – 23 June 2024 (10/10)

  This is a beautiful, tastefully decorated apartment. I appreciate all the thoughtful details, that made it very comfortable. There is ample storage/closets/cabinets, hooks and bars for towels, a shelf in the shower, modern and well working fixtures.
  The location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to restaurants and all the old town attractions. I recommend 100%.

• Stas from Norway – 8 June 2024 (10/10)

  It is really the best apartment that I have ever seen
