    The shared bathrooms are extremely cold I felt like I was freezing taking a shower, other than that good.

    Really nice hotel, self check in, clean small and cozy room, it's really cold this week and you have the heat, they let you coffee and tea for you Wich is nice.

    Location was a little dodgy and not having any reception made me feel uncomfortable were anything to go wrong (which it didn't). Bathroom light didn't work above the toilet and the bathrooms weren't super clean. Because there is no sink/water in the room, you had to go to the bathroom to fill the kettle/drink bottle. Supplied tea bags and coffee sachets but no milk.

    Room was fine and the price was good. Left me a small bag of Haribo which was lovely.

    Did not like the toilet stall. There was't a regular bathroom. The bed was hard and not so comfortable. The room was small too.

    I liked that you can check-in and check-out alone. The hostel was quiet and not so many people staying. There are one elevator up to the hostel. The area where the hostel i located is close to the metro, but is located in a industral area sort of. Not so nice looking.

    Unproblematic self check-in was a pleasure. The location of the hostel is so close to the city-center, it's amazing. I liked that there was some instant coffee and a cup for me to use.

    Cant leave the baggage as there is no reception.

    Good location, clean.but there could be a bit more hospitality- eg.there was just one paper cup. Rooms are alright. There is heating. Kettle is very useful.

    All the rooms are on fourth floor and the elevator is a bit sketchy, makes weird noises (as if some cables touch the doors when it goes up) and it refused to go up once (I managed to reopen the doors with the button, but I got scared to be stuck for a brief moment)

    Very efficient for the self check in/check-out. Bathroom and room are clean and good size

    Nice stay for a day.

    I missed any kitchen place, especially a fridge. The room was warm without the fan (which I switched off while I was away) so my food got rotten quickly. I understand it is close to the center, but otherwise, it doesn't give literally any extra why it should cost this much.

    The room was very functional and comfortable. It is only 20min walk away from the center. I liked the self-check-in.

    The location is pretty central, the main train station is easily reachable, but otherwise nothing is happening over here. Can get very warm in summer, being located on the top floor. Also, it is on the pricier side, taking into account the type of the accommodation and added comfort, but I guess it's due to convenient location.

    It's a nice and clean hostel. Shared bathrooms are absolutely fine, and mostly also clean, however the light in the shower turns off every 2 minutes, making it trickier to use (you need to step out every now and then to activate the sensor). I appreciate the elevator in the building, and the kettle in the room, which is otherwise very sparingly equipped, but it didn't bother me. Fine for a short stay.

    Accomodation close to S-bahn

    The road is sadly now under construction, so it's not very comfortable to get around. (Not a hostel problem!) The seagulls around were loud. Missing AC. A little bit dusty.

    Self check-in was great, they have communicated with me clearly and in English. Bed was comfortable, room a bit smaller; however everything necessary was there. Kettle and a few tea bags were great addition, a bit of variety would be good (in teas). It's close to S-Bahn, one station from main station.

    The room was bigger than I expected, and the shared bathroom very very clean. The self check-in details were sent well ahead of my stay and it was easy to find my key.

    I didn't expect much, but it needs more outlets because we couldnt use the fan. and walls are thin and u hear everything. I would suggest more light outside the place. when its dark / rainy its creepy and females might not feel comfortable

    easy, clean enough, simple just what we would ask for,.

    The area around can be a little isolated and scary at night. Also, very few options for grocery shopping and eating.

    The self-check-in was easy with the precise information ahead. The room was a bit smelly, as mentioned in other comments, but a manageable problem with opening windows if you have a short stay—definitely a price-worthy option.
