    Nothing to dislike.

    Lovely hostel in a great location. Very accessible with Feldstrasse UBahn (U3 line) and Reeperbahn SBahn (S1 line) stations within walking distance. Hostel appears to be purpose built and is ideally laid out. Spacious kitchen in basement which is well equipped. Friendly and helpful staff (there's a bar as part of the hostel!). Great selection of bars and restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend and if I'm back in Hamburg this is where I'll stay.

    You can't do much beside sleeping there. Other than the kitchen there is a small bar at the side of the hostel, but there's no free community area. Unfortunately my bed was not that clean.

    The location, size of the rooms and kitchen are great. You also get proper size boxes with locker. Beds are comfortable too.

    The bed did a sound for every movement I did, which could've annoyed the one sleeping on the bed under me, but I tried my best to be as quiet as possible.

    I really enjoyed most of it! For the money it's worth it. You pay for a bed, locker, clean bathrooms and even a kitchen. Great location, nice people working there, there's not much I can complain about.

    The lockers were a bit old, the rooms for 8 people had few power outlets, the shower head was hanging low, no place to hang it high. It’s not an issue for a short stay though

    The location, the kitchen, the rooms were big enough, everything was clean.

    There was no warm water, only cold shower, and I was there in october, so it's not very cool.

    Not enough power point outlets for the number of people in the room and none of the outlets were near the bed. One night I had to charge my phone in the bathroom because all the plugs in the room were being used. I was worried about it getting knocked in the sink / toilet accidentally during the night. Hostel is located in the vibrant area of St Pauli, however a little far from the city centre. Accessible by transport close by though

    Good location, kitchen and common area for cooking meals etc, was fine for a 2 night stay

    Loved this hostel. Location was great, a short walk from an U-bahn station and bus routes. The bed was very comfortable - I've never slept better in a hostel. Staff were very accommodating and allowed me to self check-in after my train was delayed.

    Staff weren't the most accomodating. Had a brief intro about the check out process and making sure the bedsheets were put in the wash bin close to the exit. And that was about it. Wasn't much room to hang out in kitchen/common area. Bar seemed to be more closed than open when i was there. Lacked atmosphere.

    Room was a decent size as was the en suite bathroom. Bed was comfortable enough. Was in a good neighbourhood close to bars and cafes.

    Reception opening hours are not good, if you arrive early or late you can not check - in, if your flight is delayed you miss your stay as no one is gonna be on the reception after 8pm and they do not provide you an emergency number or any code to access the property. You have to make you own bed which I don’t find it nice, since you pay for an accommodation, but not a big deal

    Great location! Nice value for money, the rooms were clean and comfortable beds, kitchen and common areas were great! I would definitely come back (:

    No curtains/dividers between the beds (as indicated on the photos) The doorlock makes a loud sound when somebody enters Some beds/mattrasses make a lot of noise No showerheadholders "to save water" (make the bar vegan if you really want to save water) You have to make and remove your own bedlinnen

    Very, very friendly staff Very spacious room (#24) Spacious, well equiped kitchen Big lockers for backpacks Good bedlinnen Good temperature in the room Convenient location between U-bahn, Reeperbahn and Schanzen, but in a calm area Not a party atmosphere, seems to attract respectfull people

    Internet wasn't very good from inside my room, the kitchen is in the basement and there's no other area to chill in the building.

    Easy check in, great price, clean room and window beside my bed. The neighborhood is rich with graffiti art and small shops and bars.
