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.
