Happy in Hamburg

5 min walk from Hamburg Central bus & train stations. Super clean, super freindly. Twin room was great, private bathroom a bit on small size if a big unit. Location great for getting about, but given where it is, can be a little noisy and on the rough side (had no issues but could be a bit intimidating for those not used to inner city going ons). Bar on site was great, super helpful staff, would definitely stay again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was really nice and beds were confortable, relatively quiet inside and the people there was nice and respectful. It was very convenient that the main train station is across the street. Although I like the concept of separating the shower and toilet in the room, but it was very small and tight and was hard to change in them.

Convenient but had some issues

My stay was alright. I would probably stay here again because the location was super convenient and the beds were comfortable, but there were a few things that definitely bothered me. For starters, the window in the room was locked and all six of us had a hard time sleeping because of the humidity. We told reception about it, but the second time, they said they didnโ€™t have a key and couldnโ€™t do anything. We found a fan in the corner of the room and put it on the highest setting, but it didnโ€™t help since there was nowhere for the hot air to go. The next day, housekeeping came in and unlocked it after they walked in and immediately noticed how hot the room was. Another thing was I stayed for three nights, and Iโ€™m pretty sure the shower was only cleaned one time. It wouldnโ€™t have bothered me as much if I had room to shower and not brush up against the walls any time I moved. However, the shower and the toilet were both tiny, like portable units they just set in the room? They do have a single communal bathroom on each floor with a larger shower (which they donโ€™t tell you about), but I had to use one on a different floor because mine was closed for construction. Also this is minor, but they definitely donโ€™t update their event posters hanging outside the elevators on the ground floor (just around the corner from reception). Donโ€™t expect there to be any events or specials in the bar as advertised because none of the staff had any clue what I meant when I asked about the poser.

Pros : location near central station which is a chaotic area at all hours. Cons; cleanness of the bathroom was not good. The constant noise outside due to location. Many young wild people being noisy in hallways. Limited towels.

This hostel is right next to the train station so itโ€™s very convenient for travel. The area is a little chaotic but very typical for areas around train stations. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the facilities were decent. Was able to utilize the laundry room and the bar area. The bathroom was super tiny and smelled a bit like sewage but totally fine for a night or two. There is a popular shopping area nearby and we were able to visit the Christmas markets.
