Holiday Inn Gdansk - City Centre stands at Chmielna 1, only about three minutes on foot from the Green Gate, which is the doorway to the Long Market and the heart of the historic centre. It has 240 rooms, air-conditioned and equipped with free Wi-Fi, and the hotel adds a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a bar, a 24-hour gym and, best of all, a rooftop terrace and garden, which is a lovely place for a drink on a summer evening with a view across the old roofs. Twenty-four hour room service, express check-in and check-out and laundry services keep the practical side smooth, and the front desk can arrange tours and tickets. There is an electric car charging point, and the hotel holds an eco-certification. Pets up to a modest weight are accepted, and the hotel has a banquet hall for events. The style is modern and reliable, in the manner of the brand, and the scale gives a steady, professional feel that suits business travellers and families alike. For a visitor who wants a dependable base that is genuinely in the middle of everything, it is hard to beat for the price.
Location and getting around
The Green Gate is about three minutes away on foot, and the Main Town Hall, Neptune's Fountain, Artus Court and St. Mary's Church are all about six minutes away, so the best-known sights of Gdańsk are practically at your door. The central station is about seventeen minutes on foot, or a short tram ride, and the airport is around forty minutes by car.
Evening walks along the waterfront and the cafes of Mariacka Street are close at hand, which makes this a very easy place to leave the car or the transport pass behind.
The rooms and what to expect
Rooms are modern, tidy and well equipped, rather than historic in style. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, as are self parking, the airport shuttle and extra beds, so compare these costs against your plans when you book. Because the location is lively, a higher floor or a room facing away from the street is worth requesting if you are a light sleeper. Check-in begins in the afternoon and runs until midnight, and check-out is at eleven.
Who it suits and what to know: the hotel suits first-time visitors, couples, families and groups who want to walk everywhere and use the 24-hour facilities. The old town gets very busy in summer and during the amber fair, and the streets can be noisy at weekends, so a short stay of two or three nights is ideal. Rates are usually moderate and rise on summer weekends and at Christmas and New Year, so check dates when you book.
