SMART LOQUM-PanoramaVVita

SMART LOQUM-PanoramaVVita Overview

SMART LOQUM-PanoramaVVita sits on 18 Hynka, right where the old city walls still echo under the modern brick façade. The first thing you notice is the curb‑side café that spills out onto Hynka street, the one with the chalkboard menu that locals swear by for breakfast. I parked my car in the small paid lot beside the hotel—there aren’t many spots there, so it was a relief to have a lock‑box at the reception; the staff handed it to me with a smile that said, “You’re in the right place, buddy.” The lobby is low‑key, a mix of industrial chic and plush pillows that feel like a hug. I remember being a bit surprised by the quiet; there’s a policy for a “no‑noise” zone after 10 p.m., which is a lifesaver if you’re trying to catch some sleep after a day of exploring the cobblestone streets of the Old Town.

When I slipped into my room, the view of the Motława River was a big plus. The windows are large, letting in a gentle breeze that carries the scent of saltwater and freshly baked pierogi from a nearby shop. The bed was incredibly comfortable—think memory foam that actually remembers where you like to lay your head. I found a small kitchenette, which was handy for the late‑night snack I craved after a long train ride. The bathroom has a rain shower that feels oddly luxurious; the water is warm, not too hot, and the tiles are matte, giving a subtle, sophisticated vibe. The only thing that bothered me was the thin wall between the room and the hallway—an echo of the city’s hum sometimes seeped in, especially during rush hour on Hynka street.

Breakfast at SMART LOQUM-PanoramaVVita is the real treat. The buffet line has a wide selection, from homemade Polish pastries to a coffee station that smells like a fresh espresso machine. I got the scrambled eggs with smoked trout—honestly, that was a flavor explosion that made me think of the sea on the Baltic coast. The staff were friendly, but I did notice a slight lag in the check‑out process during peak season, which might be a tiny inconvenience if you’re in a hurry to catch a flight. On the bright side, the hotel’s location is a stone’s throw from the Gdańsk Główny railway station, so getting to the city center is a breeze. I also discovered a tiny, independent bookstore on Hynka street that sells vintage postcards—worth a quick detour. All in all, SMART LOQUM-PanoramaVVita feels like a modern, cozy home base in a city that’s both historic and buzzing, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Gdańsk without the usual tourist traps.
