This hostel was a very pleasant surprise, the room was very spacious, very clean and modern. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. The room was very quiet as it was soundproof. Even though it was located in St. Pauli, the neighborhood was very safe. Very much worth the cost.

My late arrival was well-accommodated for, they left me clear instructions and was put at ease. The staff were lovely and allowed me to drop my bags at reception early when i checked out for the day. The rooms were great, i loved the corner room (plenty of space and light) though the bunk wasn’t secured in any way and wobbled climbing up. Kitchen is well-stocked with cooking instruments and a variety of seasonings, and the free tea & coffee was a welcome surprise. Lively atmosphere in the common room, the thursday night karaoke was a hit !

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.
