I was a solo traveller and this hostel was an amazing solution for my last 3 days on holiday! All the members of the staff had been very friendly and helpful since before my arrival, answering questions and giving me clear information about the check-in, check-out and everything I needed to know! When I arrived indeed everything was easy and quick! The hostel is also in a great and quiet position: just a 5-minute metro ride from the train station and the centre! The room, the communal well-equipped kitchen, shared toilets and showers were so clean that it didn’t look like being in a hostel! Washing machines and tumble dryers are available as well for a small fee. So, if you need a place to stay when in Hamburg, this hostel is definitely a great solution!

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.

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.

    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9
    Good - What previous guests thought, 567 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.
