Good for the price you pay

We stayed in a two bed room by ourself. Overall, what you pay is what you get. The room was in good condition and the service was friendly. Communication could have been a bit better but for this price I would happily come back.

A great modern hostel

This is a great modern hostel. We had a 'suite' for four of us on the top floor, with a good view out towards the city. Room was comfortably furnished with a separate kitchenette. All our sheets and towels were procided. We did have the breakfast, but found this a little lacking and would have expected more for €4. Would definitely consider this hostel again.

Great bargain in Leipzig

Great hotel! Great price, big room with kitchenette. Plenty of room free wifi. Staff very friendly, multi-lingual. Location perfect. 10 minute walk to 'football' arena RB Leipzig. Red Bull arena. Easy 5 minutes walk to downtown market area. 5 minutes walk to street car (transit)

Great staff and location bad internet

The location is almost 10 min walking from the central station (hauptbahnhof) and almost the same oe less to the Markt area. Staff are very friendly and professional especially Maria. The only drawback was the horrible signal of internet inside the room.

Gerne wieder

Über das Wochenende war ich mit meiner Familie in Leipzig. Zum zweiten Mal haben wir für die Übernachtung das Sleepy Lion gebucht. Wie beim letzten Mal, ein tolles Team, saubere Zimmer und nette Gäste. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Hostel.
