Overall, my stay was good. My room and the common areas were rather chilly, probably owing to the loss of natural gas from Russia, but the situation did not cause any concern for me. My room and the common areas were clean, but the elevators could use some cleaning. The breakfast buffet provides a good selection. The property is within walking distance of the Hamburg Hbf and a U-Bahn station, making driving unnecessary.

I’ve stayed at many A&O’s, so kind of knew what to expect. This one however is terrible. Nothing was clean. The wall boards beside the bed were disgusting. Grease mark from someone’s body oil were smeared everywhere along with footprints and hand marks. I took one of the towels in the room and wiped everything down with hot water and soap. The towel literally turned black. I know it’s A&O and nobody staying here should expect luxury but this place is beyond filthy.

Economical stay in Hamburg/Hostel with bar/laundry

Arrived in February to Hamburg via Central Station HBF. It is a 12-14 min walk to Hostel. Normally, that is nothing, however when we arrived it was a little windy and raining a bit. We mainly walk, and we had to cross a busy highway, but it was doable. Just had to keep an eye on drivers, just like any other city. When we arrived to hostel, it was a bid Hotel/Hostel and there were many floors. Check-in took a few mins, there was another person in front of us, behind us there were others checking in as well. It seemed like a popular option for travelers. The building is an older building, the hallways were a little dated, and the elevator did show its age, however, the room was clean, sheets were crisp/ pillows were arranged. The room looked like in the pictures. The city of Hamburg was cold outside but the room had a heater that kept the room warm. One thing was we had a room with a view, and it faced a section of trains that are parked overnight, and there was an area where there was a river and once in a while you would hear boats making this sound (may be a European fog horn, but it did not sound like a normal US sound) once in a while. It did not bother us when we were awake, and we did not awake from it at night. At night, when we went out, we had to walk a few minutes to catch a bus. It was not far, but it was not right in front of the Hostel. I would walk about 3-5 mins to Spaldingstraße and wait for bus. Sometimes google maps would send me to the Central St.

They need more staff as I was waiting like 45 minutes to check in due to only one person in counter. Also the laundry does not work which is very inconvenient. There is a young man Taylor in the counter who needs more training as he does not take the time to give the appropriate directions to other places like the laundry.

I really felt there should be much bigger guest kitchen if you are hosting ppl for such a big number. The kitchen was just kept for namesake, it is too small and there nothing expect one induction stove and microwave. There are no facility of drinking water on the floors, and you have come everytime down to reception to just get a tap drinking water.. You have to stand in the same long reception queue where receptionist handles the checkin and checkout... The staff looks not that suppostive... Having a lot of areas for improvement
