Radisson Blu Hotel Gdansk is a modern, full-service hotel on the Old Town side of the centre, designed for travellers who want space, comfort and good facilities at a short walk from the main sights. The building is contemporary, with a bright lobby, a restaurant serving breakfast and international and Polish dishes, a bar, and meeting rooms that make it popular with conference groups and business guests. The rooms are generally spacious and air-conditioned, with comfortable beds, good bathrooms and big windows, and the upper floors have views across the rooftops of the Old Town towards the Main Town and the church towers. There is a fitness area for guests, and the hotel's staff are generally used to helping international visitors with tours, restaurant bookings and transport.
Location and getting around
The hotel is within a short walk of the Main Town, and the Royal Route, the Long Market and St Mary's Basilica can all be reached in around ten to fifteen minutes on foot. It also puts the Museum of the Second World War and the European Solidarity Centre within comfortable reach, which makes it a practical base for a history-focused trip. Gdańsk Główny station is a short walk or taxi ride away, so day trips to Sopot, Gdynia and Malbork are easy to organise, and the airport is around half an hour by car.
The rooms
Categories typically range from standard rooms to superior and executive rooms, family rooms and suites. If you want a quiet stay, ask for a room away from the street, and if you want a view, ask for a high floor. Families should ask about connecting rooms and extra beds. As with most large hotels, facilities such as a pool or spa can change over time, so check the current list of services before choosing the hotel for them.
Who it suits and good to know: business travellers, groups, families and first-time visitors who want a reliable, comfortable base with a wide range of services and a location that makes the main sights walkable. The breakfast buffet is typically large and varied, and the on-site restaurant and bar are handy after a long day of museums when you do not want to go out again.
Parking is generally available for a fee. Because it is a big hotel with many rooms, it often has availability when smaller boutique properties are full, and the rates can be competitive outside the peak weeks, especially midweek.
Seasons
In summer the Old Town is busy, and the hotel is a cool, air-conditioned retreat after a day of sightseeing in the sun. In winter its location, within walking distance of the museums, means you can move between warm indoor sights without relying on trams. Book early for the peak summer weeks, concert and festival weekends, and the days before Christmas, when the city fills up with visitors for the markets.
