Really nice hostel, but lacked that hostel like character that I am used to. The staff was overall very friendly, but in regards to knowing what to do around the city and organizing social events for their guests they were not very helpful. Also, you have to pay an extra 2 euro for sheets! First hostel I've ever been to where you have to pay extra for sheets.

Hello Matt, thanks for your rating. We are very sorry that you weren't 100% satisfied. We offer our guests to bring their own sheets or a sleeping bag (that is the reason why they are not included in the room rate). Beforehand, we inform all the guests on our website and in the confirmation email that the sheets are not included in the room rate. We offer our guests every Thursday a Pub Tour and a free Dinner every Friday. Unfortunately we have no special social events on a Monday night and it was a quiet day in the hostel, too. So I can understand that there was no big social atmosphere under the travelers like you would have preferred. I hope you enjoyed your time in Bremen anyway! We wish you all the best! Kind regards Melanie

Townside was in a great location, directions off the website were easy to follow and the hostel itself was right in the restaurant district so it made finding some place to eat and drink very easy. The staff where friendly and helpful. The wifi worked extremely well in the room also. The room itself was quite small but extremely clean and the WC and shower were also extremely clean. I would definitely recommend staying here - I was traveling with an other female and felt very safe.

I really enjoyed the time in the Townside Hostel Bremen. There was a very familiar and friendly atmosphere. The locations as well as the enormously gracious staff guaranteed that the guests felt comfortable and had fun :) Looking forward to being a guest at Townside again ;)

It made me feel really confortable eventhough it was raining and I was not prepared for it. Nice people to chat with, very kind recepcionist helping with my questions... My room with the stair made me feel unconfortable some time with my stuff in the middle...too crowdy in a way. The system to close the door without slanging it , it made it worst that a normal door...

The location of the hostel is good. It's pretty close to both the main train station and the old town. Bremen is a small city anyway. We didn't find the staffs very friendly and helpful. Another thing we didn't like about this hostel is its narrow curved staircases. We almost tumbled down the stairs carrying our baggages 4 levels up and down. The double private room was pretty small and suffocating.

there's not enough toilet and showers. we were in a 9 person room and there was just one toilet and one shower on the floor. Also there were too much noise during the night. Anyway it is a really nice place to spend a night.

Hello Dorotea, thank you for your rating. We are happy to read you had a good time here :) About the bathrooms in our house. Most of the dorms have their own bathroom inside but there are toilets and showers on every floor as well. I'm sorry we missed out to give you this information. Hope to see you soon again :)

Very nice hostel. No problems at all. Not a great common room for socialising, and very low ceilings in upstairs rooms - which also get exceptionally hot. Really helpful staff, and close to main part of town. Would definitely stay here again

Great hostel, centrally located: just a short nice walk (through the park) from the old town and in a nice neighbourhood with lots of food options. Very clean hostel and very comfy beds!

This hostel was good, although i only slept here 1 night and left very early in the morning. The room was very cramped and crowded and there was hardly any room to move let alone store bags easily (I had to leave mine on the windowsill). It is quite close to the tram stops and some restaurants, they even give you vouchers for some of the places.

They should tell you on the site to walk from the station. It's like 12 mins. But really friendly staff and nice rooms. Right near nightlife and I think a damn nice hostel. But not much to do in Bremen itself, seriously 2 nights is more than enough. Becks Brewery tour is about it

Nice hostel, great location. At night it got a bit loud. Breakfast is not included, the one you can buy is a bit expensive.Apart from that good hostel.
