The location of the Hostel is the biggest selling point, right by the riverside with a short walk to the Old Town, it was a prime spot for everything we wanted to see and do in Gdansk.
Unfortunately the positives don't extend much further, and you will struggle to get a decent nights sleep, especially if you are a light sleeper. The bunk bed was the creakiest bed i've ever known, and the walls are paper thin so you can hear
I arrived on 27 th for the ceck in at 1.30 pm ..hotels com sent me email that my ceck in was at 12 pm...
There was a blond guy really rude ..I have been misstreated by him without no sense or reason from the first seconds I came in ...he didn't want listen to me just he wanted speak ..and in really arrogant way told me : " you have to go out as your ceck in is at 2 pm " confusing me ...I said please I am not feeling well can I please stay in the reception welcome room waiting my ceck in at 2 pm?
He said : you have to pay if you want stay in to don't get cold ...
I went outside it was cold ..and I was already sick I needed to rest ...instead you sent me email my ceck in was at 12 am. Once in at 2 pm ..he started to create on me others problems : you have to go outside to withdraw 10 pound for the keys otherwise he shouted leave the hostel now ...I said ATM will let me withdraw a lots money and I will pay the fee ...please let go sleep I am not feeling well , I won't take the key with me. He said in aggressive way no ...I said you are misstreating Me..he started to touch my nationality : he wanted know where I come from..it is not his business. I felt too much negativity and tension in that hostel ..no one were smile ...the toilette really dirty ...I really I cried ...after long ..the girl tried to helpe to give me the key without leaving the deposit ..once he left ..probably she was scare about him
Et hostel med dårlige rutiner. Lot folk sjekke inn midt på natten i felles sovesal. Ingen AC, pianospilling fra fellesområdet fra 8 om morgenen. Flott med temahostell, men håpløst for komfort. Var glad når jeg dro

Trop chère pour la qualité de la chambre. Toilettes et douche séparées et plutôt vieillots.
Rigtig godt for pengene, vi havde bestilt privat værelse og var positiv overrasket over at se vi også havde eget toilet og bad 😊
Det ligger rigtig godt placeret i byen med nedgang til floden og få minutters gang fra den gamle bydel.
Der var dog ingen social aktiviteter på dette hostel 😊
Centralt vandrarhem med hjälpsam personal i dygnet-runt-receptionen. Ett stort kök (där bl.a. spis, mikrovågsugn, filterkaffebryggare och vattenkokare finns) och sällskapsrum hittar man i källaren. I rummen finns rejäla förvaringsskåp, som öppnas/låses med nyckelkortet. Madrassen var bekväm, men personalen hade inte dammsugit den innan de la på ett nytt lakan. När jag drog av sängkläderna (som en skylt bad mig att göra innan jag checkade ut), så yrde det av smutspartiklar i rummet. Bortsett från det var min vistelse riktigt trevlig.

Wouldn’t stay here again
Cons: The kitchen closes at 10 or 11pm, they don’t even let you get anything out of the fridge after then. The housekeepers threw away my soap and shampoo, I left it in the shared bathroom that was only shared with one other (empty) room. The Wi-Fi dropped every 5 minutes. The hot water didn’t work one day of my 4 day stay. The shower was super rusty. They have super sheer curtains on the windows, had to put up a blanket and a towel to sleep in after 5am. The cost to rent a towel is 5zloty, I could’ve just bought one for that much.
Pros: it’s in a good area.
Nice hostel and staff, great vibe and silence after 23.
Lacks an oven ^^

Not recommended
As mentioned in other reviews, rooms are very small and there's no space. Mattresses are very thin and worn and you will feel the metal underneath. Beds squak a lot and are very noisy all night. So it's impossible to have a good sleep here. The location is good. The man at the reception is angry and rude and does not make you feel welcome. The girl is nice.
Czysto, miła obsługa, mega duże szafki z blokadami, takie, że można w nich całą walizkę/plecak schować.
Brakowało mi tylko zamykanych łazienek z umywalką, były tylko prysznice zamykane, a umywalki już nie zamykane przy ubikacji i nie było przy nich miejsca, żeby coś swojego postawić/powiesić (np. kosmetyczkę).
Det er et godt sted at overnatte, tæt på mange spisesteder, og muligheder for at for kaffe og te. Det ligger i en gade som har mange andre overnatnings muligheder, men der er rigtig roligt og stille.
The stay at La Guitarra was good. I travelled with 2 of my friends and stayed for 5 nights at the hotel in a 4 beds room without attached bathroom. Location is well connected to main attractions. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly. Staff is friendly. Hostel also offers a very good view of the Motlawa river. Our stay was as good as we expected within our budget.

Die Toiletten und Duschen waren sehr schmutzig. Der Fußboden im Zimmer war such nicht sauber.
Das Personal war nicht sehr freundlich.
Jättebra läge!
Personalen var ganska upptagna och hade inte tid för frågor angående området runtomkring och vissa gäster var lite högljudda på kvällen.
Annars väldigt fint, sköna sängar och helt okej frukost men inte mycket för veganer, vi köpte egen sojadryck till frukostflingorna.
There weren't linen on my bed when I arrived deep in the night and wifi credentials on the check didn't help to connect. Anyway, the overall impression was good, the staff is friendly and helpful and the location is just great.
The bed linens were clean and comfortable. However, being on the bottom bunk of a dormitory I could see some stains on the mattress above me. The breakfast selection is simple but good. The location is a bit of a walk from the central area, but 10-15 minutes is manageable and
Location is great, less than 15 mins leisure stroll next to the river, to the main square area, and to the main bus station. Each bed had a huge locker for use, which was great. Staff was helpful, especially when my delayed luggage was sent to the hostel, the attentive staff (didn't manage to get the name, but really tall male) remembered to keep it because I had mentioned something before leaving in the morning! Really thankful for such attention to details!
