Search hotels in Sopot

Be careful. Someone has stolen our wallet, so we went to the police station where they told us that they can not help us because they do not speak English! so we had to go home. :( On the other hand the beach in Sopot is nice and we had nice accomodation at the beach. :)

Sopot has a huge, long golden sandy beach; also many streets with lovely old, elegant buildings. There's even forests and a hill to visit - so, refreshing nature for inner peace and fresh air. In summer, and even autumn (I see so far) there are still people doing water sports (sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing). One aspect which has begun to concern me, is the management of the cleanliness of the beach, and also the lack of enforcement of ensuring dogs are kept on a leash, to prevent them bothering other beach users. The amount of cigarette butts, pieces of plastic, bottle tops, sharp pieces of metal and glass (mainly broken bottles) is becoming alarming. The tractor which sometimes rakes the beach, often just breaks up the sharp metal and glass into smaller pieces, and buries it just under the surface, where is can cut people and animals. I have even found broken bottles in the water, where people swim/wade. Sopot council needs to review how they care for the beach. I think they need rangers to keep an eye on what is actually happening - otherwise they are going to lose the quality of arguably the best assett the Tri-City has for tourists and residents alike.

Too many people in the center and they do not maintain social distancing. It is better on the promenade along the beach in the sense that there is less people but many of them still do not maintain the social distance. The beach from the pier (molo) to the border with Orłowo did not have a public toilet. The only one available was about two hundred meters "in land" and was closed (I suppose permanently). The only paid one belonged to the five star Sopot Hotel and charged 3 PLN. The ones in chiringuites (beach restaurants) had toilets for customers and had coded locks. The lack of public toilets results in an ugly pollution of the beach areas that have some bushes. Shame on you, Sopot! Are you in Europe or the Soviet Union?

beautiful architecture and atmosphere of the town, lots of green places. however beach is dirty, too many garbage and bottles or bottle caps in the sand. even papers and baby diapers from various tourists. area around Molo pier is crowded, water extremely dirty in there. for a nice portion of beach you need a long way. expensive hotels and mediocre services for the price you pay. Baltic sea so most of the time the water is too cold to swim (comfortably).

I like the fact I could sense the old charm and glamour -there are those fabulous, majestic villas to be admired in narrow streets in the centre and grand hotels with beautiful elegant gardens with direct access to the beach. Sitting in those gardens, having a glass of wine, listening to saxofon tones and looking at the beach is all I needed to reset. I also liked proximity to Gdansk and Gdynia. It is smaller than those 2 other cities so relatively easy and stress free to navigate.

Beach is great overall, with a few caveats. On the plus side:- miles of golden sand, goes deeper gradually, so usually kids and non-swimmers can enjoy it. There is opportunity for tourists to try out yachting and windsurfing. The beach is partially cleaned most mornings by machine and several litter-picking workers. The sun rises over the water. There are places where one can shower outside for free on the beach. On the minus side:- The water is cool or cold most of the time, with occasional days when it is almost lukewarm. Much of the litter, especially beer bottle tops are not picked up daily, and so you have to watch your step somewhat. On sunny days in summer it can become extremely full with people.
