WaterLane Island Hostel&Apartments

Amazing hostel! Clean and modern. With spa inside. With great opening hours by the way. And with nice rooftop terrace . Room and bathroom were clean. I like this hostel a lot. For sure will come back!

Despite the name, this is not just a standard hostel. You can also rent private rooms similar to those in hotel, which was my experience. Therefore, I can only review the private room and not the shared dormitories. My room was actually very cozy and charming. It had practically everything needed: private bathroom, quite comfortable bed, wardrobes, TV, chairs and table. The Wi-Fi was good, and we also had access to a well-equipped shared kitchen. I especially liked the atmosphere throughout the hostel. There are paintings, various figurines, toys and other little decorative details everywhere, which make almost every corner feel unique, welcoming and cozy. It gives the place a lot of character. I also really appreciated the staff. They were very friendly and always available and responsive whenever we needed something. But one of the biggest advantages - was the spa area with swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Really nice bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is also excellent, essentially in the central part of Gdansk. There is Zabka nearby, bus stops within easy reach, and shops and the railway station are also not far away. Overall, our stay was comfortable and very pleasant, and I would definitely recommend this place.

There were only a few minor drawbacks. The room did not have air conditioning, which made it a little less comfortable during the hot daytime hours. The mattresses were also somewhat firm, which may not suit everyone. The toiletries provided were quite limited (shower gel, shampoo, etc.), and the clothes dryer in the bathroom was not working during our stay. Apart from these minor issues, everything was good and we really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location Everything was clean and comfortable There's a small spa equipped with sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi, There's a rooftop available at the 9th floor with a stunning city view

The only thing I found less positive was the fact that at the beginning it was difficult to understand where we can check in or enter in the hostel. Basically we should call for the number available on booking and let them know that we are downstairs, and someone will pick us up

Location

The room was dirty, no toiletries were provided, and the male receptionist on duty last Sunday, May 10, 2026, was consistently shouting at us.
