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.

    Loved staying here. Super cute, cosy, clean. Very friendly staff. Amazing location, in the old town. No wonder it has got the title of best hostel in all of Germany from hostelworld several years.

    This hostel is super homey and warm. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable. The shared space is perfect for meeting new people, the space is so comfortable with ambient lighting. And there’s helpful tips pinned around the hostel, also very inclusive and multicultural.

    The hostel is very close to the main train station. The staff was very friendly and had lots of good tips. The lockers in the dorm are fine, and if you need it, you can borrow a padlock (with a small deposit). Every bed in the dorm had a nightlight and an extra socket (except the 1 bunk bed in the 6-bed dorm).
