Podewils Old Town Gdansk

I loved my 4 night stay at the Hotel Podewils. I was warmly welcomed by Magda and she was helpful throughout my stay answering questions and making recommendations for Gdansk activities. I had great views of the harbor and the Zuraw. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the busy Old Town which I really liked, it's very quiet. I hope to return someday!

A perfect delightful friendly hotel, cosy, warm and in a perfect spot to explore the old town, our room was lovely and views of the canal and river. Very quiet part of the town. Buffet breakfast included fresh hot foods too. We will certainly return here and highly recommend this hotel.

THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR HOTEL! I'm not sure this is even a 4 star hotel. We stayed in the best room. The room was spacious. The bed was very uncomfortable. The upholstery on all the furniture was old and stained (it was rather gross). There was no fan in the bathroom/toilet.... There was no shower in the room only a bath. The ceiling was too low to stand up in the bathtub to take a shower and there was no blind on the bathroom window so half of Gdansk could see you naked. Also as this is a heritage building there was no lift, which means we had to carry our bags to the second floor, this was not a major issue for us, but I would not recommend staying there if you need a place that is accessible. The location was great for us as the hotel was close enough to Old Town to easily walk there but it was in a quiet area. The view from our room was really good too. The main reason for this being a 2 star review, rather than 1 star, was that the lady who managed the place was absolutely lovely and very helpful.
