About

Welcome to the Pauli Hostel, the accommodation location in the immediate vicinity of the S-Bahn station Königstraße (S1 and S3). It is also a place to stay, if you want to meet new people from around the world, and have fun with them. We have a kitchen to cook your own meal or warm food and some sitting rooms for chilling out or just having a drink.

The hostel is the right place to go to the two scene areas of St. Pauli and Altona. The fish market, the river Elbe is very near. If you are in Hamburg for party or just for sightseeing, this is the right place for you and your friends.

We offer a range of dormitory accommodation, from 4 - 12 beds per room. In every room we have enough sockets to charge your phones or your laptops, a table and chairs for your comfort.

We are located opposite the Koeningstrasse railway station. We are in the backyard of the house.

Summary of traveller reviews

Pauli Hostel in Hamburg offers a great location, close to transport links. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff. However, some recent reviews mention concerns about cleanliness in common areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, and a lack of privacy due to transparent shower doors. It may not be ideal for solo female travellers seeking a very secure environment.

I am really sorry to write this, but the location is quite sketchy when you get there during the evening. Unless you are aware and wishing to be part of Königstraße subculture, which we were not. There were spiderwebs and spiders just above my head on the bunk bed. Interestingly, someone said that the bed gave them needed rest. I really slept in tons of hostels, and it was really impossible to rest. Bed was literally wobbly, materace - you can feel the scaffolding. Toilets [char limits]
