    We had a fantastic stay at a comfortable, quiet, and clean hostel. The bed was comfortable, and the common room provided a great space to relax. The hostel's location was unbeatable, close to the center, tram station, bus stop to the airport, and train station. It made exploring Gdansk effortless. I highly recommend this hostel for a pleasant and convenient stay.

    The location was perfect, right in the center of the old town and close to the World War Two museum.

    The morning meal could be improved with more variety and options.

    I stayed at a hostel in a great location with clean and comfortable single beds. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel exceeded my expectations and the price was affordable. The proximity to shops and restaurants was a bonus. I had a great experience and would recommend this hostel for a low-priced stay.

    Universus feels like home. Location is superb next to tram, train, airport bus, old town, restaurants, and supermarket. Beds are comfortable and not bunk. It’s very clean and well-maintained. But most of all, the amazingly friendly and kind staff, like Klaudia, make you feel at home. They are always helpful and customer-oriented. Thank you and see you next time!

    Almost perfect 👌.

    With its ideal location on the edge of Old Town and within a 15-minute walk to the train/bus station, Hostel Universus is perfect for those with physical handicaps. the spacious dorms offer single beds, large lockers, and plenty of outlets for charging devices. the friendly and helpful staff, along with the comfortable common room/kitchen, make for a pleasant stay. Restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and kebab places are all conveniently nearby.

    Felt like our own home, no complaints at all.

    I had a fantastic stay at a centrally located hostel in Gdansk. The spacious kitchen and comfortable sofas made it easy to relax and socialize. The number of showers and clean toilets were a plus. The bed was soft, the sheets were good, and there were lockers in the room for added security. I highly recommend this hostel for its amenities and convenient location.

    Located in the heart of the city, this budget hostel offers convenience and accessibility. Situated near major attractions and transportation links, it is perfect for exploring the city. the friendly staff goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests, and provides secure storage for luggage. the rooms are clean and bright, with comfortable beds and bedding. Guests can enjoy complimentary towels and access to a residents' lounge with AV equipment and internet. the hostel also offers hot drinks, including coffee and cappuccino, for an affordable price.

    One downside is that the shared bathroom facilities could be cleaner.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, situated in the heart of the city center and within walking distance to all the major attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a quick and easy check-in process. The room was clean and comfortable, with well-organized storage options and convenient outlets next to each bed.

    The bathroom could have been cleaner, as not all the shower booths were usable. It would have been better if there were more bathrooms available on each floor, as it was a bit inconvenient to have them all on the third floor.

    The value for money at Universus was excellent, the room was clean and bright with helpful staff. The location was perfect, just 100 yards from the main street, and I made new friends in the shared room.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with more variety.

    great location, friendly staff, and convenient for exploring the city. Even though the room and facilities were not perfect, it was tolerable for a short stay. Ideal for those who want to be in the heart of the action and save time on transportation.

    Uncomfortable old pillows.
