It was possible to rent bikes directly at the location which is super close to the Park Sansouci. Bathrooms were clean and bed comfortable. We had a room with 4 beds for our 4 friends group and it was sufficient for one weekend stay. There is also an open room available to sit together in the evening (to share with others).

Sylwia Germany

Great welcome, very nice and accommodating host. Off-centre locations in a quiet area but there are supermarkets and bus stops not far away (on foot).

Joséphine France

I booked a separate room, as this is the requirement of my University. I was surprised how spacious it was, overlooking a small garden with an apple tree. Absolutely delightful! The staff could not been friendlier, and extremely helpful. I needed an earlier check-in, as I travelled through the night, which was organised with no hustle. It is spotlessly clean too.

Natalia United Kingdom

I really liked the location near the Sanssouci Palace and good connection to public transport.

Petr Czech Republic

Friendly staff, very clean, beautiful garden, great location, comfy beds, great price.

Green surroundings with nice outside area (table and chairs). Nice common facilities (sitting area, kitchen, etc.). Plenty of information available. Excellent atmosphere! Great location next to Sanssouci Park. Cosy and charming street and neighborhood. Quite and relaxing place.

  • Is it quiet at night?

    The hostel is very quiet. The hostel is nestled in a park-like garden. There is no through traffic in the street. In the host it is always as quiet as the guests who are in it ;-)
