Dom Schumannow

Location - it was central. Historic building. Friendly staff Good breakfast.

The staff were very helpful. The location was good. The breakfast was next door but it was good value. Unfortnately there is constant noise all throught the night4,5,6,7am. I even wore earplugs and could still here it. I would not stay there again for that reason alone.

My only complaint is about the taxi to the airport which was arranged through the very helpful receptionist. It seems that the hotel have an arrangement with Baltic Taxi and one arrived within 10 minutes (which is OK but standard). I noticed that the driver did not switch on the taxi meter and when I asked later he said that there is a "fixed charge" of 70 Zloty for the airport. I know that this is almost double the standard charge and I am not quite sure if it is legal in Gdansk. I was annoyed that I wasn't told about this at the reception because I would have called one of the big taxi companies (the "Hallo taxi" ones for example) who would have offered exactly the same service, metered, for much less. If Dom Schumannow does not know about this "fixed fare policy" of Baltic Taxi then it should stop this arrangement with them immediately. If they do know about it then my complaint is that they do not tell their guests about it.

Great location: all within walking distanceto places of interest in old town Gdansk and central railway and tram stations. Lovely old building. Breakfast: very tasty but no Swedish table, vouchers were given for a specific breakfast plate at a cafe/bakery just a couple of doors down, besically one option.

Wi-Fi was disconected.
