Really good hostel, but during the night it was quite loud because of other hostels guests.

There were nowhere To go if you just wanted To be on your own for a second or two. Staff were playing some noisy game late at night. Staff missunderstood our request for a taxi at three in the afternoon To be three in the night, woke us up and acted grumpy for having done it in vain, although the mistake was entirely their (or possibly their poor english teacher's) fault. We also had bad luck with co-guest. Some snored, some didn't wake up from their eternally snoozing alarm clock.

One night the reception didn't open the door and we had to stay outside, freezing in the cold polish winter. Turns out the receptionist didn't hear us ringing the door, neither the phone, because he was asleep and drunk. sucked big time.

avrupanın çeşitli yerlerinde onlarca hostelde kaldım ama burası kadar cömert ve temizine rastlamadım. her şey harikaydı. özellikle buzdolabının tüm gün kullanıma açık olması ve içinin her daim doldurulması kadar güzel bir şey yoktu :) tertemiz ve güvenli.. yeri haritalarda olmasa da gayet kolay bulunabilir yürüyerek :)

The hostel is a great place. It's clean, the staff is very friendly and helps you in any way possible. You can rent bikes, which are not the best ones, but we made it all the way to the Baltic Sea. You can use Wi-Fi and they even have breakfast. It is really a very nice place I would definitely go there again.

I recommend this hostel. Very clean, very secure, and close to Old Town. Takes about 10 minutes to get there by walking. Staff is helpful and friendly. It's in a perfect location because you can take the tram, which is right next to the hostel to the train station. About a 10 minute ride. Very nice aspect of this location! This was my first time in Poland and I would absolutely come back to Old Town Hostel! Gdansk is a great city!

PROS: Nice Hostel with clean facilities and a really good breakfast, 10min walk to the centre. CONS: Staff seemed to be more or less unmotivated and some of the rooms are located in the subterrane, so there is due to the lack of sunshine some depressed mood evolving while staying for some days.
