High 5 Hostel Reviews

High 5 Hostel is an ok hostel in a good location, and the free breakfast is a bonus.

The Location

The hostel is located close to the canal and the Old Town, it is within walking distance to everything you will want to see and visit in Gdańsk, and there are lots of restaurant and food option as well as supermarkets nearby. The hostel has a kitchen you can use as well. There is also a bar right below and a garden out the back, which can be quite loud during the evening so come prepared with earplugs. You can walk to the train and bus station in around fifteen minutes max and the museums are around the same.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There are several different-sized dorm rooms, all with a different theme and decorated to match. The twelve-bed dorm is cramped and definitely does not have enough for that amount of people and their possessions. It doesn't have enough outlets for the room, so that could be a bit of an issue also. The bathrooms are decent, however there can be a bit of a wait in the morning rush time. There are clean enough; one is very spacious and the other is far smaller, but still with enough space to store your belongings and keep them dry.

Common Spaces

The hostel has quite a decent-sized common area, however it has weird vibes, as there seem to be a lot of guests that have been staying there for an extended amount of time who don't interact and almost just laze around (but that could just be because it's one of the cheapest hostels in the area). Every morning, they do give you free breakfast, which is a basic European spread of of meats and cheeses as well as bread and spreads and they also provide free tea and coffee all day.

Summary

When arriving to a popular tourist destination such as Gdańsk, it's always hard to sift through all of the available hostels; this one is fine, but depending on what you are looking for you can find one to suit exactly what you want. The daytime staff are friendly and genuinely seem happy to show you where to go and what to see in the city. The hostel can have some weird vibes and can be quite noisy in the evenings. It is in a very good location and the free breakfast is a win.

• From the train station you need to go underground across to where the cinema is (Cinema City Krewetka), up the steps, turn left (Heweliusza Street), then when you see the shopping mall (Madison) turn right and walk straight (along Rajska Street) until you reach an info board at the central area (You`ll see a brick tower), then turn left (Podwale Staromiejskie Street) and go straight ahead about 500 m (after a while the name of the street changes to Grodzka Street)- it's very close to the river Motlawa & the boat hostel with the red neon sign, around 80m after the Hilton Hotel. There is High 5 Hostel sign on the glass door.
