Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (GDN)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

Gdansk Airport is a modern and secure terminal that remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with early-morning flights or overnight layovers to stay inside the facilities.

Spending the night at the airport

Although the airport is functional, the night-time environment can be noisy due to cleaning operations and the constant flow of passengers. The use of earplugs and an eye mask is recommended. In addition, the terminal tends to maintain low temperatures overnight, so having warm clothing or a small blanket is essential.

Rest areas

Most activity is concentrated in Terminal 2, which is the most modern and comfortable:

• Benches and seating: You will find metal benches without armrests in the public area on the second floor, which are suitable for stretching out. However, they tend to fill up quickly.
• Departure area: If you manage to pass through security before it closes (usually before midnight), there are more comfortable seats and carpeted areas near the boarding gates.
• Floor: If you decide to sleep on the floor, areas near the children’s play zone are a common option, although using a mat or sleeping bag is recommended due to the hardness and coldness of the surface.

For guaranteed and private rest, the Hampton by Hilton hotel is directly connected to the terminal via a covered walkway.

24-hour food and services

• Food: Most restaurants close at night. However, in the Schengen departure area, outlets such as 1-Minute usually operate with extended hours. Snack and drink vending machines are also available throughout the terminal.
• Connectivity: The airport offers free and unlimited Wi-Fi (network “AIRPORT GDANSK”), making it easier to stay entertained while waiting.
• Luggage: It is important to note that there are no staffed luggage storage facilities inside the terminal. You must use the automatic lockers located outside (near the train station) or keep your belongings with you at all times.

Other available services

During the night, passengers have access to cash machines, nursing and baby-changing rooms, and charging points for mobile devices located on the pillars in the departures area.

Hotels

Thanks to its strategic location, the airport offers a range of hotels that allow passengers to stay just a few metres from the terminal, ideal for early-morning flights or long layovers.

On-site accommodation

• Hampton by Hilton Gdansk Airport: The only hotel located directly opposite Terminal 2, allowing access on foot in less than two minutes, making it the most convenient option for early-morning flights.

Nearby hotels

• Hotel Miko Gdansk Airport: A practical and affordable option for travellers with light luggage who wish to be just a short walk from the departures area.
• Arche Hotel Lotnisko Gdansk: Notable for its modern design and dining facilities, ideal for passengers seeking a higher level of comfort within walking distance.
• Sleep&Fly: Offers a simple and efficient accommodation concept, perfect for short stays and quick rests between connections.
• Hi Hotel Gdansk Airport: Provides a functional and sustainable stay with excellent value for money, less than a 10-minute walk away.

Important consideration

Due to the short distance to most of these hotels, many do not operate a dedicated shuttle service, as the walk is direct and safe via the airport’s perimeter pavements.
