Reviewed and updated July 2026

La Guitarra Hostel is a friendly, central hostel in the old town of Gdansk, with a mix of dorms and private rooms. It has sociable common areas and sits a short walk from the river, which makes it a popular pick with backpackers and other budget travellers.

Dorms and private rooms

Accommodation runs from shared dorms to private rooms, so solo travellers and small groups both have an option. The common areas are the heart of the place and give it a sociable feel, the sort of spot where guests swap plans over breakfast. For bed types, current rates and what is included, check the hostel's official channels.

Location

The hostel is in the old town, close enough to reach the main sights on foot and a short walk from the Motlawa riverfront. From here you can cover the Royal Route, the main square and the waterfront without needing transport. Trams and buses around the edge of the old town connect you to Oliwa, the beaches and the main station for day trips.

Who should stay

La Guitarra suits backpackers, solo travellers and anyone on a budget who values a central location and a sociable atmosphere over privacy and quiet. If you want a calm, private hotel with full service, one of the city's hotels will suit you better.

What's nearby

The old town sights are within easy walking distance:

Dlugi Targ i Dluga, the Royal Route through the Main Town.
Bazylika Mariacka, one of the largest brick churches in the world.
Zuraw, the medieval port crane on the Motlawa.

For the wider city, see the Gdansk guide.

The exact address is ul. Grodzka 12 (80-841), on the Old Town side of the centre and an easy walk to Dlugi Targ, the Long Market, which puts the main sights within a few minutes on foot.

Bed types, current rates and what is included change through the year, so confirm those directly with the hostel via lagitarra.com.
