Nowy Barkoczyn Holidays from £218

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are fantastic, and the food is as good as ever - but while it used to impress a few years ago, it now feels quite outdated.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

I only stayed one night. Everything was clean and very basic. By the beach and close to everything. Unfortunately there was an unusual heatwave when I stayed there and I'm well aware that most northern European countries are not equipped for 39C temperatures. There was a fan available which made it just about possible to sleep but I wasn't expecting full blown AC . If you're happy with codes to enter your room and no reception but close to everything then I'd recommend this. If you want a huge AC cooled room with 50" TV then this is not for you. One annoying thing is that the picture of the hotel online shows a different fabulous building. It's a bit cheeky. The hotel looks nothing like that and is on the back of the building you'll see online. Just a warning! 😁
