Amazing hostel! The location is incredible — right in the heart of St. Pauli, with plenty of cool spots, bars, and local life just around the corner. Still, it’s super calm and quiet at night, which made it perfect for resting. Everything was spotless and very well maintained. The vibe is relaxed, and the staff were kind and helpful. I’d definitely come back!

The location is excellent, very close to the S-Bahn and a lovely park. The staff were really friendly. The lockers didn't need a padlock like they do at other hostels; you place a 1 euro coin in them and are able to lock it. When you open it, you get your 1 euro back. It is actually very clever. Breakfast was free, but I was in a rush and didn't try it. However, I am sure it was as good as the other facilities.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hostel is in a great location, easy to go around Hamburg with some cool bars, cafés and restaurants around it. Staff was lovely and helpful. Showers were good, but the showerhead didn't have a high holder attached to the wall, so I had to hold it up to be able to wash my hair. Kitchen is well equipped.

    The location was perfect. Rooms and beds were clean. Moreover, I didn't hear even a single squeak from the bunk bed. Breakfast was extraordinary. I have never seen so many varieties for breakfast in any youth hostel before. There were sockets even in the lockers. No need for padlock. There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.

    This place is good for a few nights if you are on a budget. Despite being a youth hostel, it is clean. Regarding noise, it really depends on the other guests you will be with. For me, it was a bit loud late in the evening over the weekend, but ther other days were fine. It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.
