Dom Aktora

Gdańsk


The no-nonsense apartments at this former thespians’ dorm are affordable and have simply equipped kitchens, making this a prime target for self-caterers. Bathrooms throughout are 21st-century conceptions, but otherwise not a huge amount has changed here decor-wise since the late-1990s. The breakfast is a buffet affair.
