Nice enough place could benefit from an actual bar and more lively common area but all in all a good place

There are very few bathrooms for the number of people. They charge for sheets which is a bit weird. The breakfast was simple but good. Make sure you get the code if you are checking in late! The atmosphere in the place was nice though, there was space for hanging out.

Staff were totally unfriendly. The position was too far from everything (15-20 min from the center, 15 min from the station).

I absolutely loved staying here! It is quite easy to get to from the Hauptbanoff, the staff were lovely, helpful and accomodating (one guy was a dead ringer for Hamish Blake!). It was clean, and comfortable, and quite a few areas to socialise. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone!

Came here intending on staying a week or two while searching for a more permanent place to stay. Looks as if it might be a while more though, but I'm not complaining. If it wasn't for the price, which in the long run might be a bit high for me, I wouldn't have much of an issue staying here aside from the fact that I would like a big drawer or something. Service is great (Markus, Robyn and Lucas), it's cleaned daily and more extensively on the weekends. Definitely a good place to stay in D-Dorf.

One of the guys working the reception treated us really bad. He wasn't even a bit polite to anyone and he didn't respect our privacy, going into our room without knocking (almost catching us changing clothes once) and opening the windows without asking. He worked during the day on Jan 2nd and 3rd. The other people from staff was great, though. The bathroom could use better cleaning and the toilets in front of the television room leaves us with no privacy. Great breakfast!

The hostel was really nice and everything worked perfectly! We stayed there for New Years and they let us stay until 1pm the following day, because of the special occasion. Also staff was really nice in general! Rooms are basic but clean, people were very friendly. Bring a lock for your locker!

The hostel staff were very helpful returning my emails with questions prior to the trip. Answered them quickly, in a friendly fashion.

Great little hostel with character. Bed was average, but definitely usable.

There were not enough bathrooms. Since many people shared one bathroom, the bathroom was dirty and the drainage was often blocked. The rooms downstairs were dark without fresh air. Internet was poor in the room, and not enough electrical sockets.
