I liked that there was a separate lounge; it came in handy to do some work on a laptop. The wifi was useful too. The shower was one of the best I've had. Very strong and hot. Very good experience!

The staff at the Hostel couldn't have been any nicer. We had a misunderstanding with our payment but Lisa and her colleagues were extremely helpful and friendly to all of us. I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you are looking at visiting Dortmund for the football. Thank you again for giving us all such a good experience!

Sehr angenehmes Hostel. Ich habe da noch ganz spontan ein Zimmer bekommen, da in Essen Messe war, gestaltete sich das als schwierig. Die Messe war von dort aus super zu erreichen. Ganz neue Zimmer und super sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Smart TV wurde mir eingestellt, dass ich abends meine Netflix Serie weiter schauen konnte. Super nette Mitarbeiter und sehr flexibel. Werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
