Everything here was great. Very clean, great kitchen, computers with internet connection, nice showers, staff was friendly. Location is not too bad. About a 20 minute walk into the altstadt, which is where we spent most of our time. But it's really close to the Hbf, too. Rooms are nice and open with lockers. Would stay here again!

I don't know why this hostel is rated so highly. I thought it was really quite average. Toilets smelled really bad constantly. The showers had those stupid push-buttons that turned the water off every thirty seconds, quite a cold experience in the middle of winter. I found no real character or atmosphere, no one really spoke to each other, and a few people traveling in large groups who didn't mingle. Staff weren't particularly friendly and the "back in 5 mins" sign was up a lot at reception.

A bit of a walk from downtown, but having the supermarket in the same building is very handy. Also, nice breakfast offered by the hostel!

Great hostel if you want/need to be close to the main station. The old part of town (main part of town) is a bit of hike from the hostel, however there are regular buses. Hostel was clean and warm. Breakfast was OK, just cereal and bread.

A really big hostel: very large rooms, nice, soft and clean beds, very nice free breakfast, good hangout area's. Only minors are the linoleum floors and fluorescent lightning, which together give a bit cold atmosphere. Don't let it hold you back. This hostel is value for money.

The hostel was great! Our flight was 3 hours late, still we managed to check-in with the late check-in system. Everything was so clean, I was amazed! The girl bathroom was very nice and convenient with the cabins and hangers for towels and soap inside each cabin. The brakfast was a bit too sweet for my test, but that's OK :)

This hostel was great! It's literally within steps from the Hauptbahnhof (main station) so it's very convenient if you are travelling by train. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Altstadt/city center so that's something to consider if you want to be in the middle of all that action. But you can also take the bus there and the busstop is just a 2 minute walk away from the hostel. The hostel itselt was clean and modern. I would definitely stay here again and recommend that you stay here too!

If you want to be smack-dab in downtown, this isn't the place to stay - it is going to be a 20 minute walk (though you could explore the buses and trams if you wanted) to downtown. If you want to be near the train station - this is a great hostel for that. Being next to the train station made it easy to arrive, leave, and make day trips to other cities. Computers with free internet access were definitely appreciated!
