“ seemed to have a nice close location to what I needed for my trip. Seen many interesting sights like nearby cathedral and other sights. Had a great time meeting new people and went walking in nice safe areas. Great nearby night-life and shops. Hostel had great breakfast even if it cost money. Bed was comfy and clean wash rooms a bonus. I felt comfortable and safe as there was lockers provided by hostel with a deposit that you get back or use own lock. ”

“ It is close to the hoptbahnhof and the famous church. quiet and convenient. The disadvantage is if your room is in a higher floor sometimes the hot water is unreachable. ”

“ It was an excellent choice, one of the best hostels I've ever been, it seems they have thought in the small details, we even had a beautiful red tulip in the room! :). Location is perfect, at walking distances of everything. The staff is very friendly and we got a better room than the one we booked! Thanks! ”

“ Great Location, very polite and helpful staff. The room is quite comfortable, but heating was low - unpleasant, especially during the cold night. ”

“ For the very little money, excellent value. However, the (common) toilets stinked... But I would still recommend it for a single night! ”

“ This is a great place to stay for travelers. The train station is just around the corner from it, maybe 100 meters or so. It also has 2-3 different grocery stores close. They have a nice fully equipped kitchen where you can cook the food you buy for a good price at the store, saving a lot of money on eating out. There are also good restaurants close by. The staff were great and very helpful with any questions and everything was very clean. Wifi was a little wonky, but was everything great! ”

“ The staff is in general nice, and the hostel is very well located, just a few minutes from the train, bus station and the main cathedral. The rooms are big, but the kitchen and bathrooms are very dirty. We even saw a mouse walking around calmly in the kitchen! The breakfast is not included, and you pay each item you want (with a not fair price, I'd say). ”

“ Very nice staff, great location, and if you lost your sense of smell you would say everything was clean. On the other hand if you can smell you would notice that the hallways smelled of urine and even the commen room smelled of feces some times. The room though was clean and smelled fine. ”

“ Cheap hostel 2 minutes walk from the main station. I would not recommend this for a stay longer than a night, but it's perfect when you've got to catch a flight the next day. Very basic, not really an atmospheric place, but it does the trick for a cheap stay. ”
