Only stayed 1 of the 3 booked nights, but the staff were friendly and the hostel very social. Overall had a good stay, but note the 10pm closing if your planning to arrive after that.

The location is good, not too far from the city centre with nice bars in the near vicinity. Receiving the entrance code in advance, as we arrived late, went without problems. The breakfast (coffee/toast) was good and plenty! All in all nice hostel - only downfall were the showers!! Urgently need a deep clean, degrouting, mould off the ceiling and new paint!

Dear Roswitha, thanks for your review. We have three different shower areas, two of them have been painted this winter and the one which you used will be painted within the next month. Sorry for the mould on the ceiling.

I stayed only one night and was good. The only problem was that someone broke the locker and stole the money of a guest.

yep, I agree - but we sorted him out even when we couldn´t proof his guilty. Now its safe again - btw. it was the first time a locker was broken up in 9 years....but you are right.

incredibly good hostel, the staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area. the facilities, in particular the kitchen, free wifi and computers and the lounge areas were fantastic. couldnt have asked for more, and it was immaculately clean too. i would highly, highly recommend staying here.

About 2 km from the main train station and about 3km from Aldstadt which is a more attractive part of the city with shopping malls and better resteraunts. I stayed here for about a week, the breakfast could be better, it consist of tost and coffee( tea and coco mix available) which is not as good as a budget hotel in America's continental breakfast. Staff is friendly, you can do laundry there but its 5 euro for washing and drying. Its a decent atmosphere and you can come and go at any hour.

The guy at the reception at the time of our arrival was very friendly and we could even park our car in the Hostel's backyard, that was great!

pros: breakfast included, nice location, about 10 min walk from the king's street, close to a lot of supermarkets cons: first time in 10 beds, smell a little bit awful but anyway i payed less for it. But i would rather pay more in order to live a little bit nicer.

ok - you paid 14€ per night including, breakfast, bedlinen and wlan.....again...14 Euros.....when 10 are sharing a room, it might happen that it smells sometimes - that is logical to me. kind regards Patrick

Great hostel, got a lot of cool little quirks and friendly staff. Only suggestion is a fridge you can access after 10pm. No real complaints though. Beer vending machine is a good idea for disorganised travellers.

Lovely hostel with a really chilled atmosphere. Pleasant breakfast included in the price as well as free internet. The hostel is 15 mins from the Old Town but is in a good neighbourhood with amenities. Recommended.
