I highly recommend this place. Amazing experience, got a free upgrade to the main hotel . The breakfast is affordable and a lot to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. I have no complains at all and I will gladly book them again.
Good size room for a solo traveler. Clean room and well prepared. Walking distance from the city center. Quick check in and check out.

At check in I had to pay extra cost int the name of "Local taxes" however it was already added to my final payment.
The room faced to the main road so it was noisy, however it was cosy. Breakfast was good.
Me and a group of friends shared a 6 bed dorm for 3 nights. The room was not very big but it had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable. The USB ports on the beds didn’t seem to work but we just used the power outlets instead so that wasn’t a huge issue. There were lockers in the room which can be used if you bring your own padlock. The bathroom was clean.
We did have an issue with a broken toilet seat but we told the front desk and they fixed it immediately without issue.
The location is great and it’s easy enough to navigate the city from this location.
Overall I think it was great for the price we paid.
Overall, my stay was good. My room and the common areas were rather chilly, probably owing to the loss of natural gas from Russia, but the situation did not cause any concern for me. My room and the common areas were clean, but the elevators could use some cleaning.
The breakfast buffet provides a good selection.
The property is within walking distance of the Hamburg Hbf and a U-Bahn station, making driving unnecessary.
Great price at a great location. Our room was a bit noisy though. Our window was facing an inner yard that had a noisy ventilator running all night. So we had to sleep with the windows closed. Since we had one family room all 5 of us, the room became quite hot with bad air.
Economical stay in Hamburg/Hostel with bar/laundry
Arrived in February to Hamburg via Central Station HBF. It is a 12-14 min walk to Hostel. Normally, that is nothing, however when we arrived it was a little windy and raining a bit. We mainly walk, and we had to cross a busy highway, but it was doable. Just had to keep an eye on drivers, just like any other city. When we arrived to hostel, it was a bid Hotel/Hostel and there were many floors. Check-in took a few mins, there was another person in front of us, behind us there were others checking in as well. It seemed like a popular option for travelers. The building is an older building, the hallways were a little dated, and the elevator did show its age, however, the room was clean, sheets were crisp/ pillows were arranged. The room looked like in the pictures. The city of Hamburg was cold outside but the room had a heater that kept the room warm. One thing was we had a room with a view, and it faced a section of trains that are parked overnight, and there was an area where there was a river and once in a while you would hear boats making this sound (may be a European fog horn, but it did not sound like a normal US sound) once in a while. It did not bother us when we were awake, and we did not awake from it at night. At night, when we went out, we had to walk a few minutes to catch a bus. It was not far, but it was not right in front of the Hostel. I would walk about 3-5 mins to Spaldingstraße and wait for bus. Sometimes google maps would send me to the Central St.
Not great when you want to sleep because people are so loud when they come back late at night, slamming doors, banging and talking loudly at 3am. Didn't sleep much.
Bed sheets had dark stains, no towels, everything was worn down and the heater was running all night despite being turned completely off and it being 26 degrees outside.
Will NOT return.
