This is a simple but welcoming hostel. The kitchen is very well equipped and the price is affordable so this hostel is super suitable for budget travellers like me. WC and shower rooms are super clean, and the surroundings is quiet and chilled in the evening and at night. It only takes a 10-minute walk to the city center "Anger" or you can also take the tram, the nearest station is some 250 meters away.

If you could, try not to sleep in an upper bunker bed as it is truly, truly hard to get up to it, and there is no power outlet up there. You have to keep pressing the button so the water comes out of the shower, although i can understand this hostel might want to focus on environmental friendliness...

I got a triple room only for myself and it was quite comfortable. Big window looking out at the hotel front with lots of lights coming in. The room was clean and simple. The kitchen is nicely decorated and well-equipped. Free coffee and tea are provided there. Plenty of spaces to sit and hang around. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's about a 10 min walk to the old town and there is a bus running from the main train station directly to the hostel.

As it's a hostel, the fridge and kettle are in the common kitchen. You have to make your way upstairs for it. Wifi is not working properly and very hard to get connected. There is no handheld showerhead and you need to push a button to have the water running and it's spreading everywhere from above.

Loved the decor of the hostel, the opera theme was unique and very appropriate given the name of the hostel and its proximity to the old Erfurt opera house. The opera theme gave the hostel a cozy and luxurious atmosphere, and the musical decorations added a really nice touch. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful, and that made checking in and checking out a very pleasant experience. The breakfasts, while you had to pay for them, were also very nice and well worth the fee. They were a great way to start your mornings while visiting Erfurt. Overall, this is by far one of the best hostels I've been to, I'd highly recommend it!

My complaints are minor, and in no way reflect the hostel staff and their services. I will admit that it was difficult to find the electrical outlets in my room, and the few that I could find were often taken, which made charging my devices a bit difficult. The hostel wi-fi, while decent at certain times throughout the day, was a bit unreliable in the evening (probably due to all the guests logging on at the same time and slowing down the bandwidth). Lastly, some of the guests that shared my room were a bit noisy (snoring at night, etc.). However, this is to be expected with hostels, so it's not really worth complaining about. Given the price, location and services of this hostel, I would rank it very high among the hostels I've stayed at over the years, and it is definitely worth a visit!

I have been to many hostels throughout the years but none of them compare to Opera Hostel. It was absolutely clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, equipped with everything one can need, and staff was exceptionally kind, speaking very good English but also willing to let me practice my German :) An amazing experience altogether. I would definitely return here. Thank you, Opera Hostel! <3

There isn't anything that I didn't like. Maybe a single thing I found strange (although it didn't bother me that much): there is music playing in the bathroom/toilet area during the day :)

This was my adult children’s favorite place. We stayed in private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Loved the decor and staff was so helpful. We brought our own food for dinner and breakfast and ate in the shared kitchen. We were able to keep our backpacks there after checkout. It’s about 20 min walk from train station and 15 min walk to center of town.

Breakfast was pricey (12 Euro), so we brought our own food.

Beautiful hostel, great kitchen, very clean and organised. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable rooms and bed.

Could only connect to wifi in certain locations such as the lobby and kitchen (not in the bedroom). Having to keep pressing the button in the shower to turn on the water every 20 seconds was a bit annoying.

The hostel is beautiful decorated all over and taken care good of, very clean and nice stay. With Towels etc. Wifi available and the location is good close enough to the train station and city center. I didn't try the breakfast but it looked nice. The showers & toilets are enough and I loved the music playing, there was even a hairdryer if needed.

We had little problem with the key cards not working all the time and left us on the street, but the staff was nicely helping out. Unfortunately the showerhead is not movable so when you turn on you have to already stand in cold water without any choice before it gets warm, not sure if there are any other option, I imagine it cold in the winter ;)

I loved how friendly the staff were. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

We had trouble staying connected to the Internet in our room, I was only working when we went upstairs. The pillows were quite uncomfortable, too.

Very helpful staff, great location, very comfortable. Sink in private bedroom was a great feature. The coffee in the free coffee machine (even free latte, cappuccino etc) was great, fresh beans!

It was a bit sandy on my floor (I didn‘t report it as I wasn‘t really going to spend any time in the room), but everything else was impeccably clean, so it must have been a mistake, or maybe it came in through the window!

I loved that it's a place with a beautiful ambience, very well thought, super convenient location wise. It is one of the cleanest and most organised hostels/hotels I have ever been too.

A small item is a shower that is in a pulsating mode. It may be quite annoying for some. Otherwise facilities were absolutely great.
