About

Gorzysta Hostel - Gdansk

Gorzysta Hostel sits on the edge of a forest in a quiet neighborhood of Gdańsk, about 4.7 km from Park Oliwa. It’s a house-style hostel with garden furniture, a picnic area, and a sun terrace — the kind of place where you can spread out and feel at home.

The shared spaces are the heart of the stay: a well-equipped kitchen, multiple bathrooms, board games, and a backyard. Rooms are basic but clean and airy, with some offering views over the park. The staff, especially the manager, are repeatedly praised for going out of their way to make sure everything is ready for your arrival.

  • Peaceful, quiet location — Set on the edge of a forest with a nearby park, guests describe the area as quiet and restful — a contrast to the city center.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms with shared bathrooms — The only room type listed is a double with a shared bathroom — no private en-suite options, and amenities are minimal (just street view, shower, heating).
  • Far from the city center — Located 4.7 km from Park Oliwa and described by guests as 'a bit far from the city', so you'll need transport or a longer walk for most sights.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is restricted to 14:00–22:00, which could be inconvenient if you arrive on a late flight or train.
  • No pets and no smoking — The property doesn't allow pets and is strictly no-smoking on site, which may rule it out for some travelers.

“A wonderful stay in Gdańsk. The staff called before my arrival to make sure everything was set.

A bit far from the city, but peaceful — highly recommended.”
