Spice Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Spice on Korzenna Street, you immediately get the sense that this four-star boutique hotel knows exactly what it’s doing. The building itself has that restored historic charm that Gdańsk does so well — where old meets new without trying too hard. The address literally translates to “Spice Street,” which feels perfect for a hotel called Spice. This boutique property combines contemporary comfort with period architecture, creating an inviting first impression that sets the tone for your stay. The elegant facade showcases traditional Polish architectural elements while maintaining modern sophistication that appeals to discerning travelers.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s the thing about location — everyone says theirs is great, but Spice actually delivers on that promise with a 9.8 location score. You’re genuinely in the heart of everything that matters in Gdańsk’s Old Town. The Main Town Hall is practically around the corner, and you can easily walk to the famous Crane (Żuraw) without breaking a sweat. Being able to duck back to the hotel between sightseeing sessions is invaluable — something you can’t do when you’re stuck out in some business district. The central positioning makes exploration effortless and rewarding, with cobblestone streets and historic attractions just steps away from your door.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in had this modern Polish design aesthetic that felt both sophisticated and comfortable. You’ll find clean lines, quality materials, and better attention to detail than expected. The windows are well-insulated, which matters when you’re near the bustling Old Town, and the beds are genuinely comfortable. Good lighting for reading and working is thoughtfully provided throughout. The overall design creates a serene retreat after days of exploring the historic city streets. Each accommodation features carefully selected furnishings that reflect contemporary Polish craftsmanship and design sensibilities.
What Sets It Apart
What struck me most about Spice was how it manages to feel boutique without being pretentious. The staff genuinely knows the area — they gave me directions to a local restaurant that I never would have found otherwise, and their recommendations felt authentic rather than scripted. The hotel attracts couples seeking intimate atmospheres and romantic settings in the Old Town. You’re not dealing with tour groups or business conferences here, just people who want to explore Gdańsk properly and experience authentic hospitality. The personalized service approach ensures that each guest receives individual attention and tailored recommendations for their stay.
Why Guests Love It
With an 8.1 rating, Spice clearly hits the mark for most visitors, and the reasons are evident. It’s that sweet spot where you get genuine character and excellent location without paying premium prices. The fact that couples rate it so highly tells you something about the atmosphere — it’s relaxed, well-positioned, and feels more like staying in a well-designed urban retreat than a standard hotel. If you want to be in the thick of Gdańsk’s historic center without sacrificing comfort, this place delivers on its promises authentically. The combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and exceptional location creates an unforgettable experience that keeps guests returning year after year.

Bardzo mi się podobało – apartament spełnił wszystkie moje oczekiwania. Świetna lokalizacja i komfortowe warunki.
I really enjoyed my stay – the apartment met all my expectations. Great location and very comfortable.
What could be improved: Doceniam czystość i dobre wyposażenie – pralka, zmywarka, lodówka, czajnik – wszystko działało bez zarzutu. Lokal znajduje się w centrum, więc wszędzie było blisko. Dużym plusem był też przyjemny, przestronny balkon. Kontakt z właścicielem przebiegł sprawnie i bezproblemowo.
Z przyjemnością polecam ten apartament innym – to bardzo dobre miejsce na pobyt w mieście.
I appreciated the cleanliness and good equipment – washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, and kettle – everything worked perfectly. The apartment is in the city center, so everything was within easy reach. A big plus was the spacious and pleasant balcony. Communication with the host was smooth and efficient.

Расположение
What could be improved: Матрас отвратительный, самый дешевый, мягкий, и кривой, спал в яме. Был план выспаться хорошо после прогулки, не удалось.Vitalii from Poland – 3 July 2024 (9/10)

Carlos from Spain – 24 August 2023 (3/10)
La ubicación
What could be improved: El resto. Mal acceso. Hubo que llamar y esperar para que enviaran los códigos oars entrar. Una vez dentro estaba sucio y los armarios algunos rotos y otros con pertenencias. También había productos en el frigorífico ya usandos.Bartosz from Poland – 20 August 2023 (7/10)
Lokalizacja, klimat mieszkania
What could be improved: Parę rzeczy do naprawy/wymiany np kabina prysznicowa, klamka w drzwiach łazienki, drzwi szafy. Niewygodny do spania rozkładany narożnik. Patelnia do wymiany.Mateusz from Poland – 17 July 2023 (9/10)
