More of a hotel than a hostel, but a great place to stay. It doesn't have the same kind of vibe as some hostels do where you can meet people in the common room, but it's really clean and pretty much the same as any hotel except for the fact that there are obviously multiple beds in the rooms. The location was great, right near the Reeperbahn and the Altona S-Bahn station. Facilities were clean, lockers were the same as any hostel. Overall, highly recommended!

It is i a bit outside the city, but considering that I had a car, it was great with all the free parking around the area. It is also very close to the the U-bahn, that getting to the city was easy. The girls at the front desk were really friendly and helpful.answering all my questions and made pleasant conversation!

A quite decent hostel. Nothing particular to emphasize or to criticize. Location is good because the u- bahn is like 5 minutes away from the hostel, but the neighboorhod isnt so interesting. More a quiet place to have a good sleep. Plus the staff is really helpfull and nice.

Clean, and the place feels almost like a hotel! Dorm beds were comfy, and had curtains to provide some privacy from the other guests. 8-bed dorm had two beds tucked away, and was quite spacious. Highly recommended!

The hostel was clean, with comfortable beds and nice rooms. The hostel is only a few stops from the city centre by underground (takes about 20 mins) and only 2 or 3 stops from the Reeperbahn. The wi-fi worked fine. If you are planning to self cater be aware that the kitchen is very small so be prepared so wait your turn or get there early. The lockers were faulty but the rooms had locks. The breakfast for just under 6 euro is not worth it in my opinion but its decent with a few extra goodies.

Nice hostel, very clean and generally gives a nice impression. You can have a nice breakfast in the morning. If u coming by car it is better to book parking spot om the bottom of hostel, however there are possibilities to park it on the near by streets.

Great stay. Friendly staff and everything spacious and clean. A little far from main part of city but easily accessible. Walking distance to student area, where there are lots of awesome places to eat and drink.

I went there with my family and we enjoyed a lot! The only thing is that the breakfast is expensive for the things it offers but nothing important.

Very happy with this Hostel. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Each of the bunks, at least in the room I was in, had curtains around them, providing extra privacy and a dark sleeping environment.

This place is efficient, clean and professionnaly run. On the other hand, it is not an "intimate" and "baba-cool" hostel but recommended. Reliable and close to Altona train/metreo station (not the Central station ) so you have shops, restaurants open late.

Location is so nice because its very near to Altona Main Railway Station to move anywhere in Hamburg.Its more safe and nice building.The girls in reception are very kindly .The problem is only shower,you have to press the button every 30 seconds and the water goes to wall not to your body .I think my request should be considered to resolve the problem.Secondly the cost of the breakfast is little bit higher i.e Euro.5,90.i think it should be Euro 3,00.Thank you for giving me this opportunity .
