    Small room and bathroom. No aircon, so quite warm to sleep. There's loud people and sirens outside on the square all night that bothered at least on the 1st floor.

    The room was good and stylish even though quite small. Staff very friendly. The hostel itself was quiet and peaceful on a Friday night. Simple but good breakfast for the price (7,50€).

    The noise from outside the hostel is loud. I struggled to get to sleep due to the shouting, whistling, sirens, and general boisterous noisiness outside. My room was overlooking Steintogweg, which appears to be a less desirable area to hang around. Tip for staying while they are renovating - rooms with high numbers like 330 are accessible by heading round to the right hand side from the stairwell, follow it and keep going (Part of the corridor on the left at the top of the stairwell is blocked but no signage pointing you in the right direction)

    The hostel is right next to the train station so ideal for dropping off bags, and for getting back after a long day of exploring.

    No kitchen available to make something for yourself. Ideally all Hostels provides that

    Everything is perfect except washroom that are too small. Although they were clean all the time.

    The hostel is very close to the main train station so it can be rowdy at night.

    The staff were super nice, very knowledgeable and helpful too. The 4 bed dorm we stayed in was very clean as was the bed linen. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, a perfect start to a day's exploring. Very interesting mix of people from all over the world staying at the hostel, had some great conversations about the state of the world..

    One bathroom (even if toilet and shower are seperate) for 8 people is not enough. Same with one bathroom for the whole floor. Also the bathroom in the hallway felt like a sauna. One bathroom with several showers cabins and toilets on each floor would be a better solution in my opinion. The bathrooms could also use some hangers or shelfs where people can put their clothes.

    The bed was comfortable an the sheets were clean. The boxes underneath the beds to store luggage are spacious. The view over the central station was great.

    Outside at night is not very nice. It was a hot day and the rooms had no ventilation, Maybe it was good for cooler days. Very few staff need to deal with many things at the same time.

    there was so many homeless people around the central bus station which is in front of the hotel. being so close to train station makes up for that.

    location is superb. I used my bed in a 8-bed dorm room only for sleeping. traveled everywhere quickly by walk or train. my big sized luggage fitted in the lockers.

    The area around Hbf especially the northern side is filled with homeless and drunks. Of course not the hostel’s fault but notable nonetheless. Room is very small, especially if you need to fit two suitcases. You don’t have a nightstand or anything to put things on. Bathroom also is small.

    It’s extremely accessible if you travel by train. It’s an option for budget travellers.

    Great for travellers arriving/departing by train, chillout vibe

    No one cleaned our room during the stay, even though we left the sign on the door. The location's vibe may be outputting for some, but I recommend you go to one of the Portuguese cafés nearby and have yourself an expresso and a nata, you'll feel better immediately. :)

    The staff was really nice and the location really convenient, right next to Hamburg's Central Station. The area itself is a bit overcrowded and there was a lot of police activity right next to it... So I wouldn't recommend it for families with children. But if like us you're just a young couple passing by and travelling by train, then it's a great option! The rooms had everything needed, there is laundry service (6 euros per machine). People leave books behind that you can take with you.

    An oasis in a sea of drugs, would still go back though.

    Beware that the surrounding streets are full of drug addicts especially during the night. But it's not very dangerous (many shops are always open) and it's not the hostel's fault. If anything, it's well located since it's in front of the central station. The main issue is the size of the bathroom inside the rooms, very very very small. Breakfast was not excellent but the buffet cost 7,50 and you get what you pay for. I'd still do it again.

    Aside from the surrounding streets (not its fault) and the bathroom this hostel is almost perfect. The ideal place to stay. Very well kept, amazing beds, very clean, an adjacent bar and breakfast for 7,50. A big place near the station, comfortable even if you stay more than one night. Also, the price was excellent.

    Lack of cooking facilities, communical fridge. Managed to get an item stored by the friendly staff, but if a fridge can be provided for every level, it'd be superb. (however for the price I can't really complain)
