This hotel is perfect , with a great location next to the train station , close to bus and tram links .No more than a ten minutes walk you are in the historical city centre and St Mary's Cathedral area .The hotel is excellent, I had seen reviews saying about noise, but we did not have any issues with this , breakfast choice was plentiful between hot and traditional continental breakfast, a perfect start to the day .A great choice of beers and the food is excellent and staff are so good nothing was too much even bringing a table downstairs to accommodate us a evening meal . If staying in Gdansk would recommend this hotel .

We had 2 nights in Gdansk at this hotel. It’s a beautiful old building with parking just outside for a fee (equivalent to £8 per night) With hindsight this should be included in the price of the room. The rooms were fabulous and despite being next to the station and a busy road we couldn’t hear any traffic. Air conditioning was as good as any we’ve had in a room and both the room and bathroom were immaculately clean. Breakfast was traditional Polish and was perfectly adequate but not much more. The service from the breakfast staff was very good but both the check in desk and restaurant staff we were served by seemed disinterested. Overall Covid precautions was very good. Only a ten minute walk from the old town where, rather worryingly, Covid seemed to be a distant memory. The rooms are great but it’s not the cheapest hotel. Having said that Gdansk is not a cheap place to stay.

Stayed Monday to Friday. Arrived at Gdansk airport and simply got a taxi to The Craft Beer Hotel, cost around 70 Zloty (£13). If you have never ridden in a Polish taxi during rush hour try it, it’s better than Big Thunder Mountain and a lot cheaper, just take the tranquilisers first. Arrived at the hotel, a lovely building right next to the main railway station, the hotel looks like it has recently been refurbished to a high standard, a hotel has to be really confident when it gets brand new carpets woven for the whole hotel and has them deliberately woven to look worn, a really nice touch. As always with these places it’s the staff that make or break them. The staff are wonderful from reception where the poor guy had to also work in the bar when it was busy, to the bar / restaurant staff and the domestics. Of particular mention were the young girl in the bar with the pony tail and her male work partner on the evening shift that work their socks off to make sure your glass is always full and remember your round. Our room was 201 on the front, a lovely spacious room, spotless, that was well serviced. A huge shower with plenty of water flow and heat, lots of towels and a well-stocked mini bar. The bed was big and had the nice touch of two quilts so we weren’t fighting each other for quilt during the night. To be honest, the bar downstairs is so good that apart from water you probably won’t bother with the minibar. On the front meant if you were in the room during the day there was some traffic noise but who spends the day in a hotel room and when you were in the room at night the traffic noise wasn’t really noticeable as the city got quieter. The ‘Theme’ is craft beer and they have plenty of it to sample and a huge amount of work has gone into creating a craft beer set up around the bar with vats and tanks which is an interesting and quite amazing spectacle but I’ve been in lots of brewhouses large and small (whisper this) I’m not sure it’s actually used for brewing. Leaving the hotel turn left and walk along the road, cross the road and 100m you’re pretty much at the start of the Old Town so it’s nicely located. Trams, buses and the main railway station are also on its doorstep so very handy for the whole Tri-City thing. I’ve rated the location as excellent as its next to the trams, buses and main railway station. It is also close to newer shopping areas with more mainstream stores like TK Max for when you get completely soaked in a rain storm! If you only want to visit the Old Town then there are hotels better placed than this one but then you have a 1500m walk to the transport hub. If we’re back in Gdansk we’ll definitely book this place again.
