51 Bedroom Hostel in Old Town, Gdańsk

PL: Hostel Universus mieści się w historycznym budynku dawnych Królewskich Stajni, przy ulicy Podgarbary 10, w sercu gdańskiego Starego Miasta. W tym miejscu, od XIV wieku, funkcjonował Dwór Miejski (Stadthof) – zespół budynków gospodarczych związanych z Radą Miasta. Hostel, mieszczący się w zabytkowej stajni z 1616 roku, stanowi unikalne świadectwo historii Głównego Miasta. Obiekt znajduje się zaledwie 50 metrów od ul. Długiej, jednej z głównych arterii turystycznych Gdańska, w pobliżu najważniejszych zabytków i atrakcji, takich jak Dwór Artusa, Fontanna Neptuna, Żuraw nad Motławą, oraz liczne muzea, w tym Muzeum II Wojny Światowej i Muzeum Solidarności. Hostel Universus to doskonała baza wypadowa do odkrywania Gdańska, Helu, Kaszub oraz okolicznych atrakcji. Dzięki bliskości różnorodnej komunikacji miejskiej, goście mają szybki dostęp do plaży, Wyspy Sobieszewskiej, Oliwy, Sopotu, Gdyni oraz Kaszub – regionu pełnego malowniczych miast, urokliwych wsi, jezior i lasów, które zachwycają miłośników przyrody oraz aktywnego wypoczynku. Kaszuby oferują liczne szlaki turystyczne i ścieżki rowerowe, idealne do biegania, pieszych wędrówek, jazdy na rowerze czy pływania. Hostel Universus to również świetna baza wypadowa na Półwysep Helski, gdzie można podziwiać piękne plaże oraz unikalną przyrodę. Choć okolica hostelu tętni życiem z restauracjami, pubami i klubami nocnymi, sam obiekt zapewnia ciszę i spokój, umożliwiając relaks po dniu pełnym zwiedzania. Goście mogą wybierać spośród przestronnych dormitoriów oraz pokoi jedno- i dwuosobowych, zapewniających większą prywatność. Hostel oferuje także salon wypoczynkowy z jadalnią i aneksem kuchennym wyposażonym w mikrofalówkę, lodówkę, czajnik, ekspres przelewowy, toster oraz opiekacz. Dostępne są również szafki na torebki i plecaki oraz usługi przechowywania większego bagażu i rowerów. W sezonie letnim, z uwagi na centralne położenie, okolica może być bardziej ożywiona wieczorami, co wiąże się z podwyższonym poziomem hałasu na zewnątrz. Przed dokonaniem rezerwacji proszę zapoznać się z zasadami pobytu oraz ważnymi informacjami.
