Check In
I had booked two rooms for five days on points. We were not upgraded to River View Rooms, but I didn't really expect that. Check-in was quick and efficient, hotel features and amenities were explained and my HH status was acknowledged etc. Hotel has only five floors. and basically only the rooms facing the river have a good view.
View of the inner courtyard.
Room
Both rooms had a king bed and were larger than entry-level rooms in most European Hiltons. Everything looked to be pretty new and in good shape. No Nespresso machine, unfortunately, only water boiler and instant coffee. Bathroom had both shower stall and a bath tub. View was to the house/courtyard next door.
Service
Very good. Mostly young staff, mostly good English skills. Staff at the restaurant Mercato and High 5 Terrace Bar (on the fifth floor, cute, yes...) was excellent.
Also the view from High 5 was excellent! You can smoke on the terrace, if you are so inclined.
Dining
We had breakfast every morning in the restaurant. Very good buffet including local specialties. Many egg dishes available to order + waffles. Sparkling wine too. My daughter is vegan, and they brought us soy milk when she asked for it. Plenty of gluten-free breads etc.
My wife and I had the tasting menu at Mercato together with the suggested wine pairings. Seven courses, very good and imaginative food.
This breakfast waffle alone was enough to last me until dinner...
Location
Location is excellent, by the river and at the edge of the old town.
Overall
Gdansk is a nice city, and this Hilton is an excellent choice when visiting the city.
Pool
Pool (maybe 15 meters) is on the fifth floor, and there is a terrace attached to it. Usually it was not too busy, and I was able to swim laps. Terrace was right next to the High 5 Bar, and of course views were excellent.
