Easy walk from bus and metro along the Reeperbahn. Great location for a late-night snack or drink. Suprisingly quiet at night. Didn‘t feel uncomfortable walking around with two teenagers. Excellent communication before arrival ensured easy check-in late at night. Hostel set-up, you make your own beds! Room and common rooms were spotless and suitable for our one night stay. Comfortable beds. Free coffee/tea and locker were a bonus. After a day of sightseeing we were allowed to use facilities to freshen up before travelling on. Taylor Swift was in town, not sure if that was why the price seemed a bit high, but considering the friendly and accommodating staff I‘m okay with that.

    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.
