About

The Backpackers - St. Pauli is located in the heart of St. Pauli. Almost all sights are within easy reach, most of them even on foot. The Reeperbahn is a 10-minute walk away and the river Elbe is about 15 minutes away. If you walk in the other direction, you can reach the trendy "Sternschanze" district in less than 10 minutes. If you need further advice, our friendly staff will be happy to give you the best insider tips.

The bar on the ground floor invites you to a cosy coffee or a fresh beer. The outdoor area and the communal kitchen offer the possibility to get together with other hostel guests.

Attention! Parking spaces in Hamburg are very rare. In our neighbourhood there are only residents' parking spaces. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a parking space and advise you to arrive without a car. (You can also get around Hamburg without a car. HVV, DB rental bikes, e-mopeds and e-scooters or MOIA shared taxis will get you from A to B.

Hope to see you soon,
Your team from Backpackers St. Pauli

The floor was incredibly dirty. The bathroom was well fitted but had a growing mould issue and you could smell it. The room was cramped. I've travelled to multiple hostels in Germany on my trip and this one was the poorest value for money. There's nothing wrong with it, it serves as an adequate place to sleep, but it is overpriced.

I really liked the neighborhood of St. Pauli, cool restaurants and shops and pubs nearby. This is a small hostel, good but basic. Has a kitchen and a small outside patio that is nice. My only gripe was being put in a room with all men, one of whom did not seem like a traveler.

The all girls dorm was quiet and clean. There is one bathroom that contains one toilet and one shower for the entire 8 person dorm, which was a bit challenging. The bathroom was outdated and did have mold in the ceiling. Otherwise a great location, clean beds and linens, large lockers with ample space.
