Good place to stay with few meters to both U-Bahn and S-bahn. Nice room (6-pers) with plenty of space.

We stayed in this hostel only one night but where really disappointed by the service. The hostel description states that they have parking places, but we discovered that you have to book a parking place with your reservation (not possible via hostelworld) We ended up parking on the streets and got a parking ticket. The staff at the reception was almost rude. The overall athmosphere was not friendly, we felt like in a factory (2000 beds!!). Furthermore the price was quite expensive.

Our room was clearly a hotel room turned dorm. It had great facilities, lots of outlets, and was very clean. It's a huge facility, and we really enjoyed our stay. Definitely outside the city centre, but it is close to an S Bahn stop. I'd definitely recommend it for a night or two in Hamburg.

We have to wait long time during check in. People in the desk should be quicker.

This is an excellent hostel. Although a little sterile and lacking in character, it has obviously been designed from the ground up to provide all the little necessities for travellers, whether it is for overnight or for a week's stay. The rooms were big and clean, the showers too, and he bed's comfortable.

Hostel was very nice, only problem what we recognized was smell of smoking in bathroom.

The music was loud and extreme-low quality. The receptionist could not understand me and his English was poor, so in the check-in I had to wait for another one. Another receptionist told me that the sheets were not included on the price which was already high for the quality I was seeing. I did not want to accept but the girl threated me "or you accept or you do not sleep here", and we were 7 people. And the best thing is that we had to wear the beds at 20 o'clock. Also the food was bad quality.

Loved it there just don't get a room on the side where there is a night club across the street unless you want to hear people screaming all night, and deal with the music from the club that will sound as if its in the room with you. Other than that the pace is great.

Nice stay here! There is a convenient store near the hostel. But it's a little bit far away from central train station, if you walk to there, and wifi only in the lobby.

Like all the A&O Hostel: super buildings but no atmosphere at all!

Hostel was fine, but the A&O Hauptbahnhof is closer to the center. Towels weren't so clean. The problem with this and every A&O is the internet. They have free wifi in the lobby, but you have to pay to use it in your bedroom. They already have the router in every floor, would it be difficult remove the password? If the hostel were mine, I certainly would make it free in every floor and get the happiness of my guests!
