I like the ease and location of the place. It was very clean and comfortable. Well built. Warm staff and very quick checkin process. They were considerate to allow me check in earlier. I will definitely pick the same one, on my next trip to Hamburg
IndiaLocation was great and convenient right in front of the main station. Rooms are small but comfortable with a big and comfortable bed and super clean. Great value for money, would definitely recommend.
SwitzerlandSturdy building, modern, and minimal. The internal-circler-stairs are attractive, quiet, and bright. The property has a double-door security feature and observant hosts.
United States of AmericaVery nice location directly in the city center next to St.Georg. Nice furnishing of the Hostel and the rooms in particular.
GermanyThe location is great, especially if you arrive to Hamburg by train or by bus.
ChinaLocation is good because it is opposite of Main train station. Room is a bit smaller then usual, but still ok.
SerbiaGreat Atmosphere and very near to all possible POIs in Hamburg
GermanyLocation, 24/7 service and good beds. Always stay here when I'm just sleeping one night in Hamburg because it's cheap and well located.
FinlandGood value for money close to cheap restaurants Close to the station we got and upgrade for the bed to a twin and pay for the late checkout. The breakfast is really bad,overpriced for what you get.
PeruLocation, staff and clean room. Very nice experience.
