Ołowianka B&B

Gdańsk


Now slightly stranded amid the rapid gentrification of Ołowianka Island (but also right next to the new footbridge across the Motława), these cheap, basic but efficiently run digs are within ambling distance of all the sights and some rooms have pretty river views. There's a no-frills bar-restaurant downstairs. Breakfast is extra.
