Summary of traveller reviews

Some recent reviews mention noise from creaky floors and a lack of privacy in the showers, as well as concerns about room security due to doors not locking.

Please check under your bed (or not). It looks like they have never cleaned that area since the hostel started. And also the same complaint as many others: the floor crumbles any time someone walks in the aisle, even though it is on a different level. The price is definitely not worth it, but there are not too many hostel options in Freiburg, unfortunately.

The hostel was clean and met some nice people. But very overpriced in my opinion, over 30€ for a squeaky bed in an 11 bed dorm is crazy.
