I have only been to Poland once and Gdansk was it. I was here for a business meeting and I didn't get that much time to really get out and see everything. First, everything is really cheap in Poland. The hotel only cost something like $65 US Dollars. So this place could have been the equivalent of a Thrift Inn back in the US and it still would have been a bargain. The hotel is situated in the old section of what I was told used to be an island where all the grain was stored. I don't know what the deal was with the surrounding buildings, but most of them looked like they had been bombed out or abandoned. Some buildings had just one or two walls standing. Not sure why, but the aesthetics surrounding the building weren't that good. They are right on the river, but it was way too cold to really do anything out there. Also, it was pretty dirty actually.
The rooms were nice, everything was clean, and it seemed very modern. Again, for the price, I was not expecting the quality and modern look of the rooms. My room price came with breakfast and it was a good quality spread of food. There were some local flavor there, but nothing out of the ordinary.
The business spaces were modern and clean. Coffee and pastry service was good throughout the conference.
It is a short walk to the downtown area (5 minutes) but be prepared to get hit up for lots of the dance clubs near the Hard Rock Café. There are plenty of good restaurants in that area to choose from. Lots of them are located on the river.
Good hotel, friendly staff. If I have business in Gdansk, I would come back here.
