Hostel Madeira

Lady from reception was quite nice and caring.

Bedding set wasn't clean, had smell as dirty socks.

Location 10/10. It’s right next to a gorgeous forest/park. Staff is friendly and helpful even though they don’t speak English. Room was clean and has large balcony facing the forest. Parking facility available. Pets allowed. She gave a hair dryer on request.

50PLN for a dog seems little pricey for a Hostel.

The owners are lovely and have a pleasant energy. The place is spotlessly clean! The room had a smart-TV with Netflix, Youtube etc. and a big balcony with chairs, a table and some string lights. It's location is grand if you want to get to the airport the next day or if you enjoy shopping. The private rooms are on the top floor and is seperated from the dorms and communal areas, so you only share the bathroom with the two other rooms on your floor. The biggest bonus was finding a super cute cat just outside my door in the morning when I got up to use the bathroom. The cat is very pettable and don't mind to join you in your room for snuggles if you let it. To get to/from the hostel from Wrzeszcz you can take bus nr 162 from the bus station (you see a clump of buses) and take it to Na Wzgórzu (about 3 stops) and you'll find the hostel a few houses down. To get from Wrzeszcz to the airport you go to platform/peron nr 1 and stand at section 4 to take the train going to Gdynia Glowna. And from the airport take the train going to Gdansk Wrzeszcz (it's the last stop).

You get a lot for the price, however, the room was a bit cold, the beds don't have a top mattress, so it's pretty stiff and the curtains in the room are see through.

The main issue is the noise. There is no proper door separating the family room from the rest of the hostel - only a half-door - so you can hear every movement and conversation from the other floors. It is impossible to get a good night's sleep. Another problem is that there are no blackout blinds on the skylight windows, so the room gets very bright early in the morning. The shower in the family room has not been working for quite some time, so you have to use the shared shower on another floor. Overall, it feels like the Ukrainian owners have neglected the hostel. They seem to care more about making money than about their guests' comfort, and they don't pay attention to feedback or reviews. I would not recommend staying here.

I would not recommend staying here. Lack of comfort at every step.
