Baltic International Cultural Park Faktoria

The beds was horrible, we changed hotel

This hotel clearly had its prime some time ago and is now due for a refurbishment. It is clean, I’ll give it that. The staff are fantastic, and the food is as good as ever - but while it used to impress a few years ago, it now feels quite outdated. The heating/air conditioning system is old and barely works, making the room stuffy and weird temp. The amenities are well maintained and clean, but the old carpet had a strong smell of cleaning chemicals making stuffiness even worse. We only stayed one night, but for a longer stay we would have definitely asked to move rooms - we both woke up feeling congested, puffed with what seemed like an allergic reaction. For the price, you would expect a higher standard, especially considering how quickly Gdańsk is developing and improving. If Qubus doesn’t invest in updates, it risks falling even further behind the competition.

Pros: the unit looked as pictured. Very nicely decorated for the small size. Great walkable location Cons: I messaged customer service a few times. Never got a reply. The door lock started repeating low battery warnings and I was worried about getting locked out before I left. They never answered nor changed the battery. Not very practical to spend time there. No microwave nor oven. No place to hang up wet towels. The balcony gets covered in smoke smell from the folks on the street. A nonissue if someone smokes I suppose. I would not rent this again.
