Excellent location. About a 3 minute walk to Dluga Street and Motlawa River. Loads of things to do nearby within 1km as you are more or less in the center of the old town. Beds were okay, hostel was clean with good wifi. Front desk was helpful if I needed anything.

Good Stay

The hostel is located right in the centre of the main city just off the main street Dluga street.

The accommodation is very clean and modern and the room was spacious and cosy.

I would recommend a stay here if you are visiting Gdansk.

great location and a comfortable stay

+/-
No air-condition, don't know if its needed in the summer.
Its 2.5 floors up with no elevators, didnt bother me at all.
20min drive from airport to hostel, cost 33 zloty with Uber.
2min walk to tram that takes you to the beach, 35min tram ride, cost 3.20 zloty for one-way ticket.
Approx 25 zloty with Uber to the beach or to Westerplatte, takes 15min drive.
Its so cheap in Poland, just take Uber, no need for bus and tram.

I recommend this place as its cheap, clean and have good location.
See my pictures from room 7 with 5 beds.

Best location

It was my first stay in Gdansk and it was wonderful. Excellent location in the old town and 10 minutes walk from the mail railway station. My husband and I lived in a standard double room. Staff of this hostel is friendly and helpful. The beds and rooms are nicely decorated and comfy. A great plus is that in kitchen you can find everything you need for cooking and it's not necessary to have your meal outside every time. The bathrooms and showers are extremely clean and with modern furniture and plenty of light.
Definitely recommend it for couples or single travellers.

Nice and cozy place

The place has the best location ever, it takes around 2 minutes to walk to the road on which the downtown lies. The toilets and room were clean and beds were comfy. The staff was friendly. It has a lovely building.

Very central and clean

Awesome stay. Stumbled upon this place almost by accident but lucky we did! Magda in reception was amazing, really kind and accommodating, not to mention speaks perfect English! Would highly recommend.

Reception went above and beyond!

....I'm a bit late on the review, but hope that doesn't stop anyone from staying here!

The hostel is walking distance (15 minutes?) to the train/bus station, and located on one edge of Old Town, it is in an ideal location. Restaurants and bars are nearby as well as a few supermarkets and the requisite kebab places. The staff is friendly, accommodating and helpful and the common room/kitchen, is large and comfortable. The single beds in the spacious dorm are a welcome change from bunk beds. In the dorms, there are large lockers for valuables, each bed has its own bedside table and there are plenty of outlets for charging devices. Plenty of toilets and showers for all.

Fabulous stay!

Facilities, shower, toilets, kitchen are all great and modern. Central location. Close to the train station and the main street of Gdansk. Room very basic, no curtains which is a pain. Overall great place to stay to save pennies
