Amazing hostel! The location is incredible — right in the heart of St. Pauli, with plenty of cool spots, bars, and local life just around the corner. Still, it’s super calm and quiet at night, which made it perfect for resting. Everything was spotless and very well maintained. The vibe is relaxed, and the staff were kind and helpful. I’d definitely come back!

Great location, beautiful views! Very nice atmosphere: backpackers, couples, solo travelers, friends groups and families with kids were staying at the hostel! Breakfast included. Very nice and clean hostel. The staff was very nice during the check in and check out :) It is located next to a train station, so very convenient for getting around. I would recommend and repeat!

It isn't a party hostel for teenagers; ideal for everybody else. location: walking distance to bus station, a bit more to the trains. Collective transport in front of the hostel. Inexpensive super markt some meters away. room: spacious, much air through the wide window. staff: take care of the hostel every moment.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hostel is in a great location, easy to go around Hamburg with some cool bars, cafés and restaurants around it. Staff was lovely and helpful. Showers were good, but the showerhead didn't have a high holder attached to the wall, so I had to hold it up to be able to wash my hair. Kitchen is well equipped.

    The location was perfect. Rooms and beds were clean. Moreover, I didn't hear even a single squeak from the bunk bed. Breakfast was extraordinary. I have never seen so many varieties for breakfast in any youth hostel before. There were sockets even in the lockers. No need for padlock. There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.
