We had never been to Gdansk, but a cousin recommended the Hevelius because it was close to the Old Town and close to her parents' apartment. We were not disappointed. Although the high-rise building has a Stalinist-era appearance, it is quite contemporary inside. The lobby is spacious, with smoking and non-smoking areas (welcome to Poland, the capital of cigarette consumption... more

The hotel is undergoing renovations which started at 7.30am and continued throughout the day (even on a Saturday) - despite the fact that their note on the reception desk said they would not begin until 9am. NB The word renovation means in this case the sound of 3-4 pneumatic drills at any one time. The staff weren't interested in rectifying... more

This hotel is well placed for the old town in Gdansk, but because smoking is allowed in some rooms on alternate floors the rooms and lifts are smelly. I had the displeasure of staying in a smokey room which made me wake with streaming eyes. The staff are pleasant and the resturant very good. more

This is a very well placed hotel for visiting the pretty old town of Gdansk. The breakfast was very nice and after having an evening meal in the resturant the service was great. Now the down side ... the room I stayed in was on a smoking floor and as a non-smoker the beds and room stank. The bathroom was... more

After 5 days in the dreadful run down Dom Aktora, I trailed round Gdansk looking for somewhere to feel pampered. I found Mercure Gdansk, or rather, one of the superior suites on the top 3 levels of the hotel. They have just been refurbished and are wonderful! Flat screen TV, lovely bathroom with fantastic big shower, mini bar, big wardrobe.... more

I stayed four days at the Hevelius and found it to be an excellent choice. Well-located within easy walking distance of the old town and the train station, I could walk everywhere. The room was modern and clean and a good size. The restaurant had very good food. The reception staff was competent and English-speaking. It's a very busy place... more

Hotel in perfect location for old town of Gdansk, by walk maybe 10 - 15 minutes. From Airport transfer takes you through shabby post soviet’s style neighbourhoods but when you reach old town you might be surprised of radiance of the city. Streets that seems to come out of the middle ages authentic looking chimneys and narrow passages. All nicely... more

Reading some previous reviews they paint a pretty poor picture , but I must tell you this is a spot on place and I was quietly impressed. Great location , sparkling lobby , nice open lounge , bar facilities were good and the evening meal in the restaurant was a pleasure. My double room was not the biggest but I... more

Overpriced. Impressive lobby but old-fashioned rooms are drab, poorly decorated and have no kettle for a much needed brew. Also, a strange noise came from our bathroom ceiling throughout the night. We stayed in numerous hotels around Poland and this was the most disappointing. For almost half the price we stayed in 4 and 5 star hotels in Krakow and... more
