Perfect location - close to the sea, close to the musical theater, Luggage Storage upon receipt (of protection), sea view, nice morning with the rising sun. Unfortunately the hotel from a previous era, old furniture, old elevator. Do not operate a socket, a broken cistern, no hair, no minibar.

This Hotel is very well situated right in the center. The railway station is situated within a 10-15 minute walking distance. Nothing bad here, but if you were expecting more you would be disappointed. Great value for money, excellent location. The staff were very good at speaking english and very helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day and spotless. The bathroom is clean, not too modern but good. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms with sea-view. There was a very good range of tv channels. Little noise. Breakfast was lovely, beautiful restaurant, except the hot dishes could vary more.
The only downside was there was no air conditions in our rooms and it was very warm.

A large tower block, formerly belonging to the state management company. Now run by Mercure, which maybe explains the overpriced bar and breakfast.
Location is very good, just a couple of blocks from the main avenue, and across a nice park area to the harbour and beachfront.
The single room booked turned into a very good sized double for sole occupancy withe views over the park. The bathroom was also much larger than usual, and included a fullsized bath tub..
For me the standout feature was the onsite pool, with free access for guests. This turns out to be the main pool in town, with a full 25 metre competition facilty. ( take the towel from your bedroom )

Going in rainy period I wanted place with indoor swimming pool, to keep my little girl busy even if weather wouldn't allow to go outside. And it worked very well - pool is big, clean, and I hardly met any other people there. In many Orbis hotels in Poland pools are crowded by persons not being hotel guests... even school groups. Here you have half of pool signed 'hotel guests only', so it is not problem, even if other people come to swim there.
Position of hotel is great, next to harbour, next to beach, 2 minutes from nice big playground for kids... 3 minutes from main street of Gdynia. Not any noise in the room, suprisingly.
Rooms themselves not bad too. OK, windows are used and tricky maybe, but I can't complain about furniture or bathroom, and all was really spotless clean.
Also breakfasts were really good.
Just lack of air condition in corridors/ next to elavators is crazy. I didn't think it may be a real problem when a friend told me... but elevators are only 2 or 3, for whole huge hotel, and there are no windows in halls... so, you stay there, and even when outside is cold summer day, you feel like in real sauna. Not too nice... especially as waiting for elevator may be really long there!
