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.

  • Backpackers St. Pauli

    Hostel in St. Pauli, Hamburg
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,703 reviews
    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.

  • Jugendherberge Hamburg Auf dem Stintfang-Membership required

    Hostel in Hamburg Neustadt, Hamburg
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.1
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 2,164 reviews
    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.

  • mybrand boardinghouse Volksdorf Self Check-in -free parking

    Hostel in Hamburg
    Avg. price/night: US$121.60
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9
    Good - What previous guests thought, 568 reviews
    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.
