They ask 1 euro to pay (not deposit!) for lockers and they barely work. Nice terrace though. A bit far from the center.

I cannot praise Townside Hostel Bremen enough - it is truly my German home-away-from-home. Always the staff are so friendly and the facilities are excellent. A bright, clean and friendly hostel. I look forward to my next stay!

Probably the best thing about this hostel was that they had a kitchen including a fridge for guests to use. When you're traveling, especially when you have a budget (like I do as a college student), it's nice to be able to skip that meal out and make your own food. Walking to the Altstadt was a mere 10 minute walk through a bit of the city and through a park! I would suggest not to waste money on the breakfast they offer. It was overpriced, and I could have easily gone to the store for cheaper.

I stayed in Townside Hostel Bremen for a whole week and all I can say is that is was excellent; really close to the city center (aprox. 10 minutes /walk). The Hostel is really nice and the athmosphere is friendly and comfortable. I'm sure that, if I come back to Bremen I will repeat with TH!

We really loved this hostel. The location was really great and staff was really friendly and helpful. The room was nice and beds were great. Only minus to us was the temperature. It was quite a cold. But we recommend!

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.

Owner Comment (Show)
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

The hostel was very comfortable, the staff were really helpful and the breakfast looks like luxury hotel. The bathrooms were very clean and had access to the internet in the room. I loved our stay there. I will definitely go back there!

stayed in single room for 2 nights to rest up. room was clean, bathroom, common area and kitchen kept clean. didnt really see too many other people (mostly older people) in the hostel areas. location was ok. supermarkets are nearby plus lots of places to eat. bit of a walk to the center (15-20mins) but that was ok. tram stop 1min out the door.
