I made a reservation through expedia. I called the hostel to say O would be a late check-in. I was told no that would be impossible. It is ‘freirabend’ happy hour. So he would not let me in the hostel. Said No and hung up. I had to find another hotel. So i refuse or decline any charges. It was a pay the when you arrive. But i refuse sny fees. Due to poor service.

Seems to be a “long term” stay place. The shared bathroom, shower, and kitchen was a bit uncomfortable, but manageable. Clean enough, but you’re really getting what you pay for here.

Very comfortable stay

I was very impressed, as I've stayed in many hostels, and this one had the most comfortable beds. I was not too happy, though, to be put in a mixed (men/women) room. One thing that could be improved is that there were only two chairs in a four-bed room. A room with sofas and chairs to relax in would be great. Would stay here again.
