One of the rare occasions where the reality is better than the pictures. Room was large, super clean and great quality. Getting in/out was really easy and the place felt secure.

The location is unbelievable! Okay, it is situated right above a light train station and a terrace overlooking the central harbor (stunning views!!!) where there might be rowdy people in the summer, but highly recommended!!! The breakfast was so abundant with options for vegetarians and vegans even as well as gluten free options! The dinners I had were excellent value for money and gluten free on request!!! I had felt self-conscious while booking as I had feared to be the only elderly person there but was relieved to discover that most people there in spring were retirees!

The bathroom and toilet in the room were spotless. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, allowed me to use their conference/larger reception room for a while even after I had checked out in the morning. I was very very grateful.

I don't understand why this hostle has 4,0 rate at Google. My stay was perfect. It was cheap and very comfortable. I had a 4-girls room on a female floor, so it was super safe. Bathrooms were nice. Kitchen, common area, wi-fi - perfect. When I'm in Hamburg ever again, I will stay here!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Hostel is in a great location, easy to go around Hamburg with some cool bars, cafés and restaurants around it. Staff was lovely and helpful. Showers were good, but the showerhead didn't have a high holder attached to the wall, so I had to hold it up to be able to wash my hair. Kitchen is well equipped.

    The location was perfect. Rooms and beds were clean. Moreover, I didn't hear even a single squeak from the bunk bed. Breakfast was extraordinary. I have never seen so many varieties for breakfast in any youth hostel before. There were sockets even in the lockers. No need for padlock. There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.

    This place is good for a few nights if you are on a budget. Despite being a youth hostel, it is clean. Regarding noise, it really depends on the other guests you will be with. For me, it was a bit loud late in the evening over the weekend, but ther other days were fine. It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.
