    Because we were on the ground floor right next to the kitchen and very close to the other communal areas it was quite loud at certain times but with earplugs it didn't disturb my sleep too much.

    The beds were comfortable, the room was spacious and the private bathroom was a bonus (we booked a twin bunk room but got a larger room with a bathroom, maybe because we were there in the off season?). The room allocation was very appreciated on arrival. The fridge in the room was also incredibly helpful, the cooking facilities were great, the free tea and coffee in the morning was also lovely. The location was good, a bit of a walk into the city if you wanted to venture that way but not far on the metro. We explored a lot around the hostel too, lots of things to see close by.

    I hadn’t realised it was in St. Pauli, but it was quiet, and we had no trouble.

    Good value for money. Close to the train station. Close to several tourist attractions. It was an hour long walk into the main city centre. We were given a family room which was comfortable and spacious. There was free coffee every morning and a kitchen to use. Maps and information available. Checking codes worked without any dramas.

    Nothing

    It is very close to major stops. I reserved 1 room for 2 with bathroom. Nina gave us a big room for 9 people but only we used the all room that was very nice for us. It is very simple to reach to the place from the airport by metro. Morning free coffee was great. We were very happy to stay there. No soap and no towel, you have to bring them with you. There is a market which is very close. Thanks Nina :)

    bathroom was very clean and attached to the room. I stayed in a "private room" which was actually a room for 6 people but they didn't let anyone else stay in it. I thought that was quite funny. Nevertheless, I had plenty of space all for myself and the host (Antje?) was very helpful and kind. Getting into the property and into your own room is easy with a pin code, the location is fabulous, close to everything on the Reeperbahn and Grossefreiheit. Would absolutely stay here again next time!

    Good value for a one-night stopover.

    The slightly dodgy looking bed linen. Although I tried to convince myself that it was clean, I didn't use it. Instead I wrapped myself inside the duvet cover ( kind of like inside a sleeping bag ). Luckily I got by as the weather was warm in early September.

    1. Close to U-Bahn station and supermarket nearby. My room is facing directly onto the street and it was surprisingly quiet at night ( But I am not sure what kind of noise should I expect in this area ) 2. I booked a room with private bathroom and was given a 9-beds dorm ( with ensuit bathroom and WC ) all by myself. It's not quite what I have expected but it served the purpose. 3. Free coffee in the morning 4. Special praise to Hr. Rick from reception as I am extremely nervous about using the "door code" thing ( but it seems to become more and more popular nowadays ) . I nearly went to the panic mode when I arrived at the hostel door ( which was very invisible from the exterior, I passed it twice without noticing it ) and had no idea how to get the entry while everyone else ( mostly young fellows ) glided through the door by effortlessly punching a series of numbers and signs on the door. He showed up ( I told my expected arrival time in advance ) and guided me through in good humour and patience.

    Not great, but okay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Triple Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    No staff are around, generally. The room and beds are okay, not great, and reasonably clean, but again, nothing great. No soap or towels are provided, so you have to bring your own soap for the bathroom. For an old hostel, the price seemed a bit much.

    The location is not bad. It's a short walk from the St. Pauli subway station, and there is a small amusement park right at the station. The neighborhood is okay - mostly cheap hotels and such in the area. It's hundreds of meters from the seedy Reeperbahn area, so it's quite okay for a family to stay at this hostel. The shared kitchen is okay, and fairly decent free coffee is provided in the morning from a machine.

    On the level of hostel accommodation, I have nothing to complain about. Perhaps only at least a small towel would be nice, but that's a small thing.

    The hostel is in the heart of St. Pauli, yet the street was quiet as there are no noisy nightlife establishments in the immediate area. Self-service check-in and check-out is convenient. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and modestly equipped. Internet without a problem. On the ground floor a vending machine for drinks (even small beer) at reasonable prices, a kitchenette, a common room. I have no problem to come again.

    There is impossible to park close to the hostel. The best option is to search P+R and to come by public transport here, the station is very close. For short park it is okay, one hour costs 3 €.

    Great location, just 2 minutes walking to Reeperbahn. McDonalds and another restaurants are close, much closer the bars.

    Very minor problems - I didn't like the smell of the product used to clean the room. I was expecting a room with a single bed but I got a room with a triple bunk bed to myself - not a lot of headroom on the bottom two beds (obviously I could have climbed to the top bed)

    Free hot drink in the morning. Very comfortable mattress. Nice kitchen and lounge area with a piano and massage chair. Quiet location - there's a restaurant with outside dining across the road but that was closed by 11 so it was relatively quiet after that. The red light district is just far enough away that this street did not feel dangerous

    You can hear almost everything in the rooms besides you and when someone speaks or gathered in the lobby you would hear everything through the windows

    Clean. Code was sent directly after the booking. We met no one from the stuff, you get the code to inter the hostel and your room. The rooms are clean. There is small market and Resturants in the area. Close to the transportation.
