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.

No hotel is perfect but the only small negatives were the rubber pillows and having to negotiate nine steps of a staircase with a suitcase on arrival.
Overall the hotel delivered great value while the restaurant at which I enjoyed a beer and a good burger was also fine. A saxophonist played golden oldies.
The room was terrific: geneously sized with a single Queen mattress and top quality linen.
There were two bedside tables plus two armchairs complemented by a round table with a bottle of tap water.
The desk was very large as it contained a fridge with a stocked minibar. Tea, coffee and a kettle completed the setup.
A large wardrobe contained a safety deposit box.
The bathroom was top class with top to bottom heritage tiling in the shower, as well as it being a rainwater showering head, ensuring a luxurious experience.
Bodywash was in a bottle for the shower and separately for the handbasin.
The bathroom floor was heated, a rarity in hotels. Towels were not bath size, but satisfactory.
Lighting in both rooms was excellent and included gooseneck reading lsmps.
WiFi was fiddly to set up as one did it via the Smart TV but then worked without a hitch.
The TV had Euronews and France24 in English as well as CNN, but lacked the BBC.
This was a most enjoyable stay as Gdansk's main railway station entrance is 100 metres away, trams are adjacent, there is a supermarket across the tram tracks and the famed, rebuilt after WW11 Old Town is one tram stop away at Brama Wyzynna. Buy tram tickets including a 24 hour one for PLN23 from the Porter shop in the station subway.

Really a 3.5, but I can't select that in this forum. The hotel itself is very nice, the staff are welcoming and friendly. The restaurant/bar is very nice and the beer is great. The bar staff are knowledgeable and willing to share their experience in the beer making process. The hotel fell short in the stay itself ... from 4 am to 5 am patrons from the bar pounded on the doors on my floor, either lacking the key to get in, or at the wrong room. No intervention from the staff, just a sheepish apology in the morning after I mentioned something. The coffee maker (a pod-type of machine) had not been cleaned, nor did it function. The breakfast was standard, good, but nothing special. I feel my money would have been better spent on a different lodging. I would return to the restaurant and bar however with no complaints.

Just returned and loved it so much I felt the need to write my first review! Stayed for a long weekend with my 2 young children. We had the apartment room 105 and it was perfect size, nice to have a separate room once the kids were sleeping (sound proof door bedroom but not light proof as it's glass). The location to the train station can't be beat and we weren't bothered by the noise other reviews mentioned (plus we sleep with a white noise machine to not hear the kids!) We ate at the hotel restaurant 2 of the 3 nights and bought beers at reception to take up to the room every night after a day of adventuring. The staff was so friendly (hotel and restaurant) and accommodating with our 2 toddlers. We took the train to Sopot and Gdynia (for the aquarium) one day. Gdansk was our favorite :) Short walk from the hotel (maybe 10 minutes) to the cute old town area. In October there were beautiful fall trees and the town was decorated with pumpkins everywhere! Also, we got the tip from the front desk to go try Pierogarnia Stary Młyn when O Mandu was completely booked (but we went in Gdynia) and we liked it so much more! Lovely hotel, don't look anywhere else!

I would recommend and would stay again if travelling by train (as it is right next to the train station but also an easy walk to everything else). The WiFi wasn’t very good which is why I would mark the hotel down slightly and (could be related) the fancy TV which has the alarm, room service, information, etc really wasn’t working at all and nothing would load. Netflix seemed to be available if you logged into your own account through google chrome but it was also in polish and we couldn’t figure it out. It would be great if there was a guest account already set up. The room was big though, bed was comfy, shower was good but no shampoo, just soap. I was slightly disappointed that we arrived on my fiancé’s birthday and I had said before and tried to organise a beer tasting but they just we didn’t need to reserve that, which we didn’t, but I hoped they might give some birthday gesture but they didn’t. The beer tasting guy in the bar was brilliant! But the rest of the bar staff made it seem like we were annoying them by being there, that having customers was an inconvenience, so that was a shame.

A modern hotel in an old building. It is very comfortable and as close as you can get to the train station. The prices are reasonable. For about $14 you get a full breakfast that is varied and very good. The staff is friendly and patient with my lack of Polish. The room was large, my one complaint is that it is noisy (near train and lots of traffic). We were on the street side, you might have better on the back side. However, because of the location you can get anywhere quickly. It isn’t in the Old Town, but it is an easy walk.

The hotel is located just outside the main train station which is very convenient. It is also located in the historical building and its beautiful inside with high ceilings and the vibe of an past times connected with modern feeling. The rooms are big with comfortable beds and super clean bathroom. You have plenty of space to unpack your belongings. The hotel has a restaurant that also brews their own beer. You can easily get a beer or drink, or food and bring this to your room. They also sell beer at the concierge office and I assure you this beer is fantastic. There is a little bit of sound coming off the streets as the hotel is located in busy area but that did not bothered us at all. Walking distance to the old city area is about 20 minutes. I highly recoomend this place if you want to be close to everywhere but not overwhelmed by the tourists on the other hand.

I very much enjoyed my recent stay at the Craft Beer Central Hotel. From it's walk-able location close to the central train station, to my comfortable and surprisingly modern room to the on premises craft brewery, I loved everything about my stay except that it was too short. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Gdansk.

The location is great if you want to take a bus to and from the airport or travel further, like to Sopot, as it is close to the main train, tram, and bus station. The center and other attractions are only a short stroll away, plus there are local hidden cuisine gems and a craft brewery. Identified as Central Hotel on the sign. We've stayed in the same room three times since we love this hotel so much!

Yes they do have hair dryers and toiletries in all of the rooms. They also had tea and coffee just in case you want a beverage. They also brew some great beer I particularly liked Starogdanskie superb blonde beer.
If you need anything just ask Karol on reception, he took on a personal challenge trying to find us a specific type of vodka in the City great bloke spoke very good English.
If you buy ticket online, they usually have a place where you can book your luggage on - like on the train system ... you book a ticket and then you book how much luggage you have. If they don't have it on the website you may have to pay when you board the bus, but I wouldn't think so.
There are more places to choose from in the Gdansk area.
