Stare Miasto Gdańsk – Marina

Stare Miasto Gdańsk – Marina Overview

Stare Miasto Gdańsk – Marina sits tucked on 11 Żabi Kruk, a narrow cobblestone lane that feels like a secret alley in the heart of Gdańsk. I first spotted it when the harbor was still foggy—waves lapping against the dock and the scent of brine hanging in the air. The building is a 4‑star gem, but honestly, it never feels like a sterile hotel chain. The staff greet you with a warm nod and a quick, “Welcome to the Old Town!” their smiles are as genuine as the crack in the stone walls that have been here since before the World Wars. Check‑in was a breeze; the desk was right at the front door, no long queues, and the digital key system was straightforward. I had to pause for a moment to remember the QR code, but the staff was patient and offered a quick tutorial—no frustration there.

The rooms are cozy and tastefully decorated with nautical accents that nod to Gdańsk’s maritime past. I booked a standard room, and it was perfect for a short stay. The bed is firm, the linens feel buttery, and the window offers a view of the harbor that changes colors with the sunrise—first light pink, then a deep, calming blue. The downside? The rooms are on the smaller side, so if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage, you’ll want to double‑check the luggage storage. Wi‑Fi is decent most of the time but can lag during peak tourist season (late July to early August). The noise level is surprisingly low; the only constant is the gentle hum of the harbor and the occasional gull cry. Parking is available on the street, but you’ll need to navigate the narrow lanes—lots of cyclists and scooters, so keep an eye out. The hotel’s proximity to the Old Town means you can walk to the famous Neptune Fountain and the bustling Main Market Square in just a few minutes.

What really stole the show for me was the little restaurant right on the marina front. The menu is simple but delicious—think fresh cod, homemade pierogi, and a side of locally brewed Gdańsk beer. It’s not a Michelin‑star affair, but the flavors are authentic, and the service is friendly. I had a glass of white wine while watching a sunset over the water, and the staff offered a recommendation for a nearby jazz club on Łękawki Street—a hidden gem that locals rave about. The concierge was helpful, pointing out the best times to visit the Westerplatte memorial and suggesting a boat tour to the Hel Peninsula for the next day. Overall, Stare Miasto Gdańsk – Marina feels like a home away from home, with the right mix of comfort, local charm, and practical amenities. For anyone looking to experience Gdańsk’s historic waterfront without sacrificing quality, this place is a solid pick, especially during the shoulder seasons when the city is lively but not overcrowded.

  Perfect location when travelling on motorcycle: close to the old city and easy to reach. The room was clean and well equipped, I had even a washing machine in my room. Parking for bike in the yard.

• Henrique from Portugal – 22 July 2023 (4/10)

  Location was good, calm area without much noise, markets closeby, easy to move around and clean area.
  The apartment was in good state.
  
  What could be improved: -The apartment is basically a room inside another apartment. So you can hear everything the other guests are doing in the other room that they call apartment. Don't be fooled, you get a room, not an apartment, you share the same hall with other guests.
  -The bathroom is extremely small and the remote to the AC was not provided so only way to connect was to jumo in bed and click on the main structure, without possibility to change temperature. Cheap move to save money.
  -Neighbourhood was a bit sketchy, I didn't feel safe at all coming home
  -Building itself is a complete wreck, need renovation.

• Mika86 from United Kingdom – 9 May 2023 (7/10)

  Close to town, comfortable bed
  
  What could be improved: Problem with hot water in bathroom and kitchen. Couldn't had a shower straight after partner as water wasn't warm enough
