Wow! What a place! Everything you've read here about a friendly man behind the front desk--Bartek--is true and he speaks English beautifully. The rooms aren't the most modern-looking (think: wood paneling); but they are warm and unpretentious. The cleanliness of the place is excellent (not a speck of dust or dirt or grime in the bathroom). There are over 40 channels offered on TV (versus the average 10-12). Breakfast is very filling--they give you an incredible amount of food. The hotel is well-situated, just a 10 minute walk from the Gdansk Oliwa station (from which you can catch the train to anywhere in the tri-cities) and a 15-25 minute walk to the Baltic Sea-shore. You won't be disappointed choosing this hotel.

thanks, we really enjoyed our stay! :-)

We booked on one of the booking sites (linked from here) and paid 166 pounds for four nights stay, breakfast included. Though this place is a few stops away on the train from the centre of Gdansk, it's ideally situated if you want to visit the surrounding area as well; from Oliwa (where Willa Albatros is located), we took a leisurely walk to Sopot and the train to Hel, and we also enjoyed seeing an organ concert at the Oliwa cathedral. Best of all, though, was the really helpful staff. The gentlemen we spoke with (sorry, we never got his name) was a great source of advice and local knowledge, and he even had a little stash of DVD's behind the counter that he was willing to lend us when we were spending a night in, and umbrellas on hand to lend in case it rained. There was a table on the deck outside our room where we would have a beer in the evening, and always coffee/tea/biscuits available if we needed a pick me up. It was the time we felt the most at home while on holiday.

After finally checking my map correctly, my Girlfriend and I found this hotel without issue.
I wasn't sure what to expect from a non chain Polish Hotel (my first).
The Hotel is based within a well to do residential area (Large houses, large dogs), tucked a few hundred metres from the Main Bus/Tram travel routes and has close access to beaches.
Parking is on the main street alongside the hotel, but we didn't drive.
It appears as a wrought iron gated, huge property - A hybrid of a house and mansion. The cleanliness was exceptional. From the outside entrance to the interior.
We arrived at the reception, which was small via the front door (easily located).
A well spoken bilingual man welcomed us - took our details over ten minutes and confirmed the booking. He advised that we can keep hold of the hey if we leave the building, and breakfast or other meals could be pre-ordered to our rooms if we wished.
Very few rules except for noise levels in the premises.
We went out in the evening and purchased wine - the receptionist even gave us a corkscrew to save our evening.

The bedroom we took was two single beds (we're not married :D). The cleanliness was exceptional. We has wireless broadband access - 18 inch television with 50 channels, including some English and Foreign.
The bathroom was an attractive well tiled outfit, again - exceptionally clean and dust free.
Two towels on each bed and crockery in a cupboard with lots of storage space.
Mineral water cooler down the stairwell with hot water and free coffees/teas etc.

We stayed only one night and left rather early for tourism, but for a short single experience - it was fantastic and we'll head there again if we re-visit Tricity.

Sadly, we have no photos (my fault) but the online photos are accurate to what it is.

Thanks to Willa Albatros for a good welcome.
