What works, what to weigh

+

  • Strong value for money — Rooms start from £17 per night, and guests often remark that the quality exceeds the price point.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The standard single and double room categories have shared bathrooms, which may not suit those preferring en-suite facilities.
  • Limited room types — Only three room categories are offered, with the private bathroom option being a double with twin beds – no larger family or premium rooms.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, which could be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animal companions.
  • Check-in window is restricted — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30, so very late arrivals may need to coordinate with the front desk.
  • Not central to Gdansk's old town — The homestay is in Oliwa, which is about a 10-minute drive from the main tourist areas; you'll need transport or the train to reach the old town.
