Directly beside Hamburg Train Station, this hostel offers colourful rooms and dormitories with private bathrooms. It has a 24-hour reception, a large lounge and a bar with outdoor terrace.

Opened in January 2012, Generator Hostel Hamburg is one of the city’s largest hostels. All rooms are fitted with secure key card systems and can be reached by elevator.

The location is amazing, just some blocks away from the center and the main train station. We could walk everywhere. In the night gets really creepy and weird but I never felt unsafe, and we were 2 girls. Just don't mind the crazy people and keep walking (crazy people are everywhere) The rooms are big and clean everyday. We didnt have any problems of being dirty. We had our own bathroom, wich are super small and smells funny but for some days is okay. There is a general bathroom per floor so you can use that (is bigger). I love that there is a place to work and chill on the first floor. We had to catch a train really late, so we stayed there warm and safe, with internet. I really appreciate that. There is a small cafeteria in the lobby and a bar next door. That is nice if you just want to chill. The prices are really good for the average. You can pay extra and do a check late, which is amazing If you are leaving late. The pillows and sheet where really nice quality made. I loved it.

This historic former warehouse is located in the heart of Hamburg, a 12-minute walk from Hamburg Central Station. It offers a shared games room, drinks bar and excellent public transport connections.

The a&o Hamburg Hauptbahnhof offers a wide choice of comfortably furnished accommodation, ranging from single rooms to shared dormitories. Some offer views of Inner Alster Lake.

I was really surprised by how nice every aspect of the accommodation was. Already made beds, our own bathroom and shower, and hand/body wash/towels provided. Was basically a hotel but for way cheaper. I’m used to staying in youth hostels which are not nearly as cozy or well stocked so this was a very pleasant surprise. All the staff were very helpful too with anything we asked them.
