Nice helpful staff and good clean basic accommodation. It was a very quick stay between trains so we didn't get to spend any time in the communal areas.

Okay rooms. Not very tidy - same goes for the lobby. Area felt a little unsafe at times but still good location and close to city center and all public transport
Amanda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was solo traveling alone and this place seemed like a good place. Just keep in mind that there’s so air conditioning.
Lyka, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exactly as expected. Friendly staff and environment
Alan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was really nice and beds were confortable, relatively quiet inside and the people there was nice and respectful. It was very convenient that the main train station is across the street. Although I like the concept of separating the shower and toilet in the room, but it was very small and tight and was hard to change in them.
Martin, 1-night trip

Happy in Hamburg

5 min walk from Hamburg Central bus & train stations. Super clean, super freindly. Twin room was great, private bathroom a bit on small size if a big unit. Location great for getting about, but given where it is, can be a little noisy and on the rough side (had no issues but could be a bit intimidating for those not used to inner city going ons). Bar on site was great, super helpful staff, would definitely stay again
Lee, 2-night trip

6/10 Good
