Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Królewski

Once the royal granary across the river Motława, this hotel offers rooms overlooking the picturesque Old Town and the Crane (though with these rooms there is a danger you'll spend most of your stay staring out of the window). Rooms are comfortable and clean, although some have slightly dated decor. The restaurant serves breakfast in the morning, and à la carte meals for lunch and dinner. In the summer, outdoor tables by the water are everyone's favourite place to sip a cocktail or a coffee, while swans swim by. You can reach the hotel from the Old Town either by ferry or by a 10-minute walk across the bridge that links Old Town to Ołowianka island.
