Dom Zachariasza Zappio

Gdańsk


Occupying a labyrinthine, chunky-beamed former merchant’s house, the Zappio is so big that families with kiddies and party animals won’t get in each other’s way. In addition to high-ceilinged rooms of various medieval shapes and sizes, this remarkable overnighter also has its own pub, bike rental, guest kitchen and 24-hour reception.
