Riverside Hostel is a nice place with a very loving maritime furnishing. Each rooms has its own character and most of them got a river view, which is awesome. It's located in the Rechtsstadt which makes it easy to reach all the touristy location. Breakfast was standard. Unfortunately, it was very quiet when we were there and staff didnt seem to be in the best mood. They were friendly but that was all. Nice place to stay while your in Gdansk.

Great location right of Main Square! Helpful staff and really comfy beds. My only complaint is that they do not have any tourist maps at the hostel. Luckily there is a info booth not to far from hostel though. It is a great place to chill out with fellow travelers.

Nice hostel in a great location in a lovely city! Nice, sociable common area with games and 3 computers for guests. 8 bed dorm wasn't massively spacious but fine and the beds were comfy with shelves, bedside lights, plug socket and lockable draw under the bed. Breakfast is toast with butter/jam/cheese/salami and coffee/tea. Good start to the day.

We had a great stay at Riverside Hostel! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room had a nice view over the river, was clean and I had a good nights sleep in the bed. There was a free breakfast which had toast, coffee, tea. It was nice but nothing special. The location were nice, right next to Długa street and about 10 min walk to the train station. If we're going back to gdansk, we are definately staying here again

Service was very good, everything was clean and organized. The only thing I would like them to improve is the breakfast, maybe some vegetables will help.

We arrived very late to the hostel due to some traffic problems (04:00 in the morning) but the hostel receptionist was very nice in assisting us with the car parking and checking-in. Thank you very much indeed. Best regards, Hao

The hostel was lovely, situated in a very good location but quiet at the same time for a good rest. The hostel was clean and had good hot showers. Staff was helpful. The only minus for me was the breakfast, which I found a bit poor (I missed some cereals).

It's very central in the city. 2 min to all the best restaurants, city center and riverside of course. Very clean and neat. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was also very nice. And the price is absolutely reasonable. The staff is awesome. I dont know what to say :), everything was perfect really.

It's a very good hostel with excellent location (10 meters from the main street of old Gdansk, just at the river) and friendly staff. Everything is brand new and clean. The prices are reasonable.
