A traditional original hostel, part of the International association, not one of those newly built ones, but clean and great at what it does. Fair prices, decent facilities. Staff were extremely helpful when I needed to change my reservation a couple of times. Will definitely stay there again.

This is a review of room 7. There is no reception and a pin code to the door is sent to you 1 hour before check in. The information sent on how the digital locks work is thorough and very clear. First impressions: immaculately clean and tidy. The room is small and has all that one needs. There is a little kitchenette in the room with a sink, two electric hobs, a fridge and, best of all, a kettle. The shower in the shower room works fine and has adequate pressure and temperature. Towels were provided. There are radiators in the room and the shower room that work and provide plenty of heat. The WC is not in the room but just outside the door and was spotlessly clean. I did not find it a problem that the WC was outside the room. It was always available when I needed to use it, just 2 steps outside of the room. The security to the entire place was thorough and I felt safe.

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.
