Mercure Gdańsk Stare Miasto is a practical, comfortable four-star on Jana Heweliusza street, in the Old Town district north of the Main Town. It suits travellers who want a well-run international hotel in a convenient spot rather than a boutique experience. The historic centre is about five hundred metres away, roughly a five-minute walk, and Gdańsk Główny station, for trains to Sopot, Malbork and the airport, is about four hundred metres away. The European Solidarity Centre and the Museum of the Second World War are both within easy walking distance too, which makes this one of the best bases in the city for history lovers. The Winestone restaurant serves local specialities, the lobby bar is the social hub of the hotel, and a generous buffet breakfast starts early, from 6:00, with a continental breakfast available in your room. There is a fitness room and massage service, all rooms are air-conditioned, and pets are welcome.
Location and getting around: from the hotel, walk south through the Old Town district to the Main Town and the Royal Route in five to ten minutes, or north to the European Solidarity Centre and the shipyard. The Museum of the Second World War is about fifteen minutes on foot along the river. The main station is close enough to walk with luggage, which makes day trips to Malbork and Sopot easy, and trams stop nearby.
The rooms: rooms are modern and comfortable, with air conditioning and the usual Mercure touches, and the hotel also offers suites and an apartment for those who need more space. Ask for an upper floor for a better outlook.
Who it suits and good to know: first-timers who want convenience, business travellers, families who value a predictable international standard, and drivers, thanks to the secure, monitored car park, which costs extra. The location by the station is excellent for day trips but less picturesque than the riverside; the Main Town is a short walk away. Pets are welcome. The ibis next door is a cheaper alternative from the same group if this one is full.
