Gotyk

Great location

Great location and free breakfast

The Gotyk Hotel is in the middle of the Torun tourist district, next to the scenic Vistula River. The hotel rooms are small, but comfortable—and you won’t spend much time in your room anyway because of the many things to do in a small 8-block area. The buildings are all beautiful, in a gingerbread architectural style, which emphasizes the historical importance of gingerbread to the town. Since Copernicus was born there, his family home has been turned into a museum, emphasizing the importance of his discovery that the sun, and not the earth, was the center of our solar system. There are gingerbread museums, mining museums, salt museums, and others, all explaining how Turin was an important trade center for centuries — a town that was fortified and protected against invasions. The Gotyk Hotel serves an amazing breakfast starting at 7am and has a restaurant for lunch and evening meals. In addition, there are many quality restaurants in walking distance. If you have a vehicle, the hotel has several reserved spaces in front. Spend 2-3 days at the hotel and you’ll realize you need to come back for a future trip to see many of the things you didn’t have time to do.

A unique stay, making our way up a winding staircase to a retrofitted room in an old building. I like the ability to open the window and look out on the cobblestoned street. Staff were very helpful. The only think missing was coffee in the morning (only tea provided).

A must see. Old Town is breathtaking and full of energy and fun. I went in September so I feel like the summer would be very busy.
