World Hostel is a hostel at ul. Brygidki 14 in the northern Main Town of Gdańsk, Poland, in the Pomeranian region. Brygidki is a street near St. Bridget's Church (Kościół św. Brygidy), which is closely tied to the Solidarity movement and the Gdańsk Shipyard history of the 1980s. The Long Market and Neptune Fountain are roughly ten minutes away on foot, and Gdańsk Główny railway station is about 1 km to the north-west. The European Solidarity Centre and the shipyard sites are also within walking distance, so the hostel is well placed for history-minded visitors. The airport is about 12 km from the centre.
The building is part of the historic urban fabric of the Main Town, and the hostel offers the social, no-frills style typical of the category. Room types include Dormitory Bed, Private Double Room and Private Twin Room, so it works for solo travellers, couples and small groups alike. Listed amenities are Wi-Fi, reception and a shared kitchen. The shared kitchen lets guests prepare their own meals, which keeps costs low, and it is a natural meeting point for guests to swap travel tips.
No restaurant is listed, but the surrounding streets provide cafés, bakeries and inexpensive Polish eateries, along with supermarkets for self-catering. Dorm beds are listed at around 60–140 PLN (about $16–37 USD) per night, with private rooms roughly 180–350 PLN, which makes it one of the most economical ways to stay in the historic centre. Prices rise in July and August and at weekends.
Service is informal and aimed at backpackers, students and budget travellers, with reception staff able to offer local advice and luggage storage. The phone number is +48 504 973 953, and the website is worldhostel.pl. Visitors should bring a padlock for lockers if sharing a dorm and check linen and towel policies when booking. Early reservation is wise for summer and festival weekends.
