Five Point Hostel & Apartments
8.4-rated hybrid hostel-apartment on Podmurze — 4 min to Long Market, free walking tours, pub crawl Fridays, studios available for longer stays
8.4-rated hybrid hostel-apartment building on Podmurze, tucked behind the Old Town walls. 4 min to Dlugi Targ, 3 min to the Motlawa. Mixed dorms, private studios, daily tour desk with free walking tours and the best pub-crawl in Gdansk after Trip & Hostel.
Five Point is one of a small group of Five Point hostels in Polish cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk) and on Podmurze it occupies the whole corner of a reconstructed Old Town tenement, tucked literally behind the defensive walls of the Old Town — four minutes from Dlugi Targ, three minutes from the Motlawa waterfront, a minute from the Zuraw crane.
The building offers both dorms and apartments. Dorms are 4, 6 and 8-bed with reading lights, lockers, and shared bathrooms on the corridor. The apartments are one and two-bedroom studios with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and their own entry codes — ideal for longer stays or small groups. This hybrid model is what pushes the rating across 970 reviews to a steady 8.4.
The hostel side has a ground-floor reception with a proper tour desk — this is the second-best tour operation in central Gdansk after Trip & Hostel. Free walking tours depart from reception at 11:00 and 14:00 daily (50-minute Old Town tour, 90-minute Solidarity tour), and the Friday night pub crawl covers Mariacka, Stacja Food Hall, and a rooftop bar on Granary Island.
Amenities include a small guest kitchen, a lounge with a bar and board games, and a courtyard for summer smoking/drinking. Breakfast is not included but the tour desk sells a 20 PLN voucher for Cafe Borcz on Stagiewna — better than the in-house option and a nicer walk. For travelers who want tours and flexibility between dorm and studio, Five Point is the right pick at the right price.

“Location is amazing, right behind the Old Town walls. The Solidarity tour with Kamil was the best free tour I've done in Poland. Friday pub crawl was fun, met great people.”
“Booked a dorm, upgraded to a studio on arrival for only 50 zloty more per night. Very clean, kitchenette was fully equipped. Would recommend for couples.”
“The location is quiet but right next to everything. Staff at reception spoke great English and recommended bar mleczny Neptun for lunch. Tour desk was helpful.”
