Bialachowo Holidays from £297

The hotel is a perfect place for a visit to Gdansk. Near sights, cafes and restaurants. We walked everywhere. Buses and trains within easy reach (15/20 minute walk). Entry to the rooms are by code which was texted to me. There wasn’t anyone around when we arrived but the next morning the receptionist was very helpful and answered all our questions. The apartment was clean, had useful amenities. The included breakfast was round the corner at a restaurant; and lovely too. We had a very pleasant stay. Would go back.

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staff are fantastic, and the food is as good as ever - but while it used to impress a few years ago, it now feels quite outdated.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.

The building was modern and the check in process was easy. The gym was nice too. The two main issues were: The room did not have a TV and the breakfast was left in a takeaway bag in front of the door. They did not ask for my meal choice and I really did not like the cheesy sandwich with lots of onions. I definitely would not have paid for that breakfast if I knew!
