The hotel and its history are grand. The location is superb. It was our first time in Poland— Sopot and Gdansk impressed us. Sopot is beachy (although very breezy and cool while we were there in July, making swimming not possible), and Gdansk has gorgeous architecture and history. We had outstanding food (primarily outside the hotel, though the breakfast is nice), and enjoyed the riviera atmosphere. Antoni, the concierge stands out as very helpful and responsive, arranging a tour and transportation for us with speed, care and commitment. Highly recommend him!
The hotel desperately needs renovation. The view and the beds are comfortable, which are the only positives of the rooms. They are outdated, stained and the bathrooms are a joke. Tiny cruise ship sized shower, with poor water pressure. The pool is small, and they should take care to create a much better atmosphere for the spa and pool area. They are dark, small, drab and uninspiring.
So, it’s probably more of a 4 star than 5.
