Whilst the rooms of this hostel are well appointed the location is a good reason not to stay here. If travelling by train you will have difficulty finding this place and the neighbourhood doesn't feel overly safe. Overall, I would say it's a well run hostel on the wrong side of the tracks.

Location was good, once you got there. From the train station a bit of a Distance, 6 stops on a tram. 10 min walk from centre once you arrive.

Free bathroom towel (they changed it without asking during my stay there :-) ). The breakfast huge choice for a backpacker. Mattres is not the best. The rooms are big and I could get a locker on the... More

Spent 2 nights at the Old Town Hostel in March with a friend. Paid 40 zloty (or around €9) per bed per night. The location is not ideal. It is about 25 minutes walk from the Gdansk Glowny train station, so if you've good heavy bags, it might be a good idea to take a taxi. Since it was off... More
