Location is amazing, you can do anything on foot and the main station is literally right in front.

It's pretty loud, probably focused on a more young audience, but that's OK for the price and location. The bathroom inside the room is like a plane bathroom, impossible to use, but here's the catch: there's two bathrooms in each floor for you to use and shower, which I found out about going through Google reviews bc the staff did not mention it at all. So unless you go and complain about the bathroom, they won't tell you where nothing is 🤷🏻‍♀️

The location is very convenient for everything, be it further travel or seeing the city. There's a lot of various facilities in the hostel itself to suit essentially all of your travel needs. Despite the closeness of the train station the room was very quiet. With online check-in available the entire check-in process can be very smooth and quick. The hostel's very modern and the staff's friendly.

The bathrooms are extremely cramped (I'm not a big person and it was a stretch even for me). The breakfast, while good and solid, could use a bit more variety. While the location is convenient it might be a bit off-putting to a solo traveler - there's a lot of strange people around the train station (as in every larger city). To be fair though I wasn't approached by any of them - it *is* safe, it just doesn't *feel* safe at first glance.

1. Everything just works in this hostel, it's super nice. It's sooo big but you feel at home because the rooms are small. 2. Check-in was easy and they let me in some minutes before my time, I loved this caring gesture of the staff, because I was with lots of bags. 3. Bathroom is nice, room is nice too. They have toilet paper (lots) and soap. They have a stall for showering and other with the toilet, andt both have sinks with hot water. 4. Wifi is good. 5. SUPER close to the main train/metro/bus station. Extra:. I met nice people in Hamburg and also at my Hostel. Nothing to do with the hostel itself, but I think it's worth pointing that people there are nice and warm.

1. LOTS of drugged people, homeless and beggars everywhere in the city center. It looks like Zombieland when you're going to the hostel. (It's not the hostel fault, of course, but I think it's worth mentioning). They don't thread you, but is a weird and sinister feeling because there sooo many, like 100 people using and selling drugs in a spot, and more 50 on the other side of the street. 2. They don't have a place to store food and warm it, I have seem some places that at least have microwave or fridges.

Probbably the best hostel i've stayed at up to this point. Besides the points that should be expected with a good hostel like it being clean, staff being friendly etc, the following make this hostel stand out for me as a self-employed business traveler: Beds are exceptionally sturdy Beds are practically ready to use, only needed to grab the sheets and pillow from the locker and it's ready to go. Great place to study/work in the lobby with wall power, seperate from the restaurant. Located practically next to the main station (hamburg HBF) This hostel is very affordable. Even when booking the very last minute like i often have to do.

There are a few minor things that annoyed me, but in comparison to the plus points, this doesn't matter nearly as much, but might for someone else. The hostel makes use of very heavy fire retardant doors, that are often also way wider than normal doors. This can require quite a bit of effort to open the doors, especially after a long day and carying a lot of luggage. They do not have a luggage room, only paid lockers as an alternative to store luggage downstairs. The private smoking area is closed at night. If you want to smoke between 10pm and 8am, you have to go outside at the front, and you will get a lot of homeless asking for money or siggarets.

I expected much worse according to existing reviews, but actually it was a very nice and affordable hostel to spend a night by the train station. Bed and bathrooms were clean, Check in and check out were instant, what else should you expect from such a facility?

My neighbour on the top-bank was an a**hole and decided to answer his phone during the night, but this is what you expect in hostels and hostel itself could do nothing against such guests.

Awesome location, next to the market. Nice common space, nice enough hosts. A thoughtfully organized bed, with a shelf and light in the right places, all hostels should do it like that :) All in all, the lack of the personal touch is well compensated for by proper organization.

The coffee place inside is a bit weird (or maybe just the guy working that day). The process is slow and awkward, and then the coffee is bad. I'd totally preferred a vending machine to that - with those at least you know what you are in for. Otherwise everything was good.

A massive massive thankyou to the staff for storing my possessions I had stupidly forgotten in the locked trunk for a few days until I returned!!! I really appreciate it! The effort to even return the cut padlock showed such amazing service :-) will definitely stay here again next time In Hamburg, vielen Danke!!!

Everything was great :-) (Just a small note, but late in the communal areas I found the music to be fast in the closed bar area and calm it the lit reception area so was a bit difficult decide where to sit to feel like to go to bed :-)

Great location. Close to many attractions and the train station as well as the FlixBus station. Comfortable beds. Tick curtains and noise counselling windows. Proper heating system. Professional and friendly reception staff.

Extremely tiny toilet and bathroom in the room. The cleaning staff keep forgetting to leave extra toilet rolls. Hair on the floor. Dirty isle carpet.

I got a mixed experience with this stay, albeit I felt it was a niche stay and really affordable to help along your time in Hamburg which can be on the costly side. Also, a bit of an escape from the lively neighborhood it reside in. Very central and close to all transports you could need.

In my opinion and close to fact but the hostel has the most expressive cost to rent a towel I have ever seen. Five euros would get me a towel or two elsewhere, to keep not rent, but then I would need to bin it as I'll no where to store it. I do believe work is being done on the sustainability effort of the residence so perhaps this will be reviewed along side it.

The Location is ideal for travellers, even more if you are only staying for 1-2 nights. However in the night there are a lot of weird people at the HBF and since it‘s next to the hostel, you would meet them as well

One of the staff, was extremly slow. I met him ont he morning of the 16. September and he needed like 10 minutes per person, even if it was a simple request like a checkout. Furthermore his german was really bad and even his english was not that great
