About
Hostel Przy Targu Rybnym - Gdansk
Hostel Przy Targu Rybnym sits on Grodzka Street, a short walk from Dlugie Pobrzeze and the heart of Gdansk's old town. The hostel keeps things simple: a shared lounge and kitchen, free Wi-Fi in public areas, and a handful of room types from female-only dorms to private doubles. Guests can relax on the terrace or cook their own meals, and the 24-hour security and key access add a layer of practicality.
The location is the real draw. Reviews consistently highlight how easy it is to reach the city's main attractions on foot, with the river and canal nearby. The staff earn frequent praise for being friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is described as warm and cosy. For travellers watching their budget, the price is hard to beat — but it is a hostel, so expect shared facilities and a modest, no-frills experience.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — Just 0.6 km from Dlugie Pobrzeze, with the river and canal nearby, and the old town's attractions within walking distance. Many reviews call it 'perfect' for exploring Gdansk on foot.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Guests consistently mention the warm, attentive service, from the reception desk to the owner. Some note the staff offering local advice and recommendations.
- Budget-friendly with amenities — Low nightly rates from £16, plus free Wi-Fi in public areas, a shared kitchen and lounge, and complimentary tea and coffee. Breakfast is included in some room rates.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic rooms and shared facilities — As a hostel, expect modest rooms and shared bathrooms in some categories. The 'Comfort Quadruple' and 'Deluxe Double' have private showers, but other rooms rely on shared facilities.
- Potential for noise in busy areas — The central location near bars and the old town can mean street noise, especially in rooms facing the street. No explicit soundproofing is mentioned.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Express check-in/out is available, but the main window is limited.
