Gotyk House

My priorities (in addition to safety, comfort, & affordability) when researching accommodations anywhere I travel include uniqueness & historical significance. I definitely picked a winner with Gotyk House! According to a Gdansk city guide, it's the oldest house in the city (built in 1451 C.E.) & was purportedly the only tenement house left unscathed by WW2 (at least on Ulica Mariaska). What a find! Located right next to St. Mary's Basilica - believed to be the largest brick church in the world - it's convenient walking distance to all Old Town sights, as well as nearby grocery stores & other necessities. My room (#3? or #4?) was a generous size with comfortable furnishings, historic decor, large bathroom, & restful space, especially when the surprisingly soothing (not clanging) church bells rang throughout the day. And the service was exceptional! (They even offer to wash & dry your laundry for a mere 60zl/$15USD which, by the end of a long trip throughout several countries, was a huge bonus!) Wiktoria, who checked me in, was so incredibly kind & helpful, especially when I mentioned that I'd accidently left my phone in a ride-share car in another city. She helped me spring into action to, hopefully, get it back. Without her assistance, persistence, & encouragement, I might have never seen my phone again. I also really enjoyed our numerous conversations, during which I learned a lot about the area, & appreciated all her amazing activity & restaurant recommendations. Gotyk House is now my go-to place to stay anytime I'm in the Tri-city region of Poland.
