  : Free parking outside, the street is quiet, the place as a good size.
  : From 7am you can hear a lot the local neighbours as they prepare, and the other travellers on the common area, you feel like they are in the room and it's impossible to sleep. It is at the 3rd floor without elevator and it's not specified on the announce. Also it is called an hostel but there is no welcome desk, it's a flat with a group of studios, so they are like airbnbs.

  : Affordable and relatively quiet. Seagulls will wake you up, but that's the same everywhere on the coast.
  : The room gets quite warm and during the summer. The toilet's water tank in the bathroom refilled so slowly you has to wait quite a while to flush again. It is bit dark in the evening with no street lights.

  : Not a bad location, a big room. The lack of a reception is a plus for me personally. It's pretty quiet and warm.
  : First of all, the toilet smells like cats, the sink is dirty. Secondly, the water does not go away for a long time either in the sink or in the shower. Thirdly, there isn't a fresh sheet on the bed. Fourthly, I ordered a room with one large bed, I was given a room with two beds. I wrote a message to the staff, but no one answered me anything, completely ignored.

  : Great location in a quiet area but walking distance from central Gdask. Check in was simple and quick with good communication from the owner. The room was spacious.
  : The lack of towels was a problem (only one per person) and no hand towel. Additionally, the pillows were poor quality. The plumbing was loud, however I understand that this is through no fault of the owner. The kitchenette facilities were shared and unfortunately there was some lack of attention to detail in terms of cleanliness in the bathroom I.e. grime around the tap and inside the shower seal.Despite these things it is great value for money and we enjoyed our stay.

  : What I like about this place is that there is no receptionist and everything is online.
  : The doors in the rooms need to be replaced.

  : This place has a pretty great location: near the main attractions but at the same time in the quiet area. The room was clean and spacious.
  : The room was too cold, and we couldnt find how to turn on the heating (not sure if its working at all), we couldnt call the staff as it was pretty late when weve reached the place at night. So, make sure that you have some extra warm clothes to sleep in if you travel during the cold seasons. Also, the sound isolation is not so good.
