The place was fine for a hostel - but that is what it was, a hostel. Web has place listed for 37 Euros and Expedia charged $138. My complaint about this has gone unanswered for a week.

Very reasonable priced room and fairly comfortable, but noise and smoke from outside was too much. Room was too hot even with heat turned off. Had to open windows to cool down. People smoking below and moving trash cans, playing guitars all night long. Miserable sleep for all of us as a result.

This hostel is in an ideal location. It is on a gorgeous little square with a fountain. (The photo is accurate!) It's steps away from an alley packed with popular cafes and restaurants. It's also a very short walk to J.S. Bach's church, St. Thomas. Perfection! A few things to note: (1) The interior is a series of hallways that make almost no sense and lead to a disjointed feeling of the place. It's impossible to get your bearings when inside. (2) Our room had plenty of space, it was clean, and the beds were fine. (3) Unfortunately, we needed to open the window to cool down the room and cigarette smoke wafted in from the courtyard below at all hours of the day and night. (4) The walls are thin so we could hear people walk down the hallway. Fortunately, this didn't happen very often. (5) The breakfast is serviceable and unfussy, but at 30 Euros for four people, overpriced.

Das Hostel liegt super zentral und macht rein äußerlich schon was her, das Personal war zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist abgenutzt und in die Jahre gekommen und für ein Hostel wären Matratzenschoner angebracht.Das Zimmer war sauber und geräumig.

Die Unterkunft ist gut zu finden und praktisch gelegen. Man kann sie zu Fuß gut erreichen, da sich viele Parkhäuser im Umfeld befinden. Insgesamt macht die Unterkunft einen guten Eindruck. Allerdings war unser Zimmer bei Anreise noch etwas schmutzig (Staubflocken samt Haaren neben dem Bett, Haare auf dem Laken), die Fußleisten neben dem Bett waren lose, sodass sie, sobald man aufgrund des begrenzten Platzes anstößt, quer durchs Zimmer fliegen. Im Badezimmer fehlte eine Ablage über dem Waschbecken (Halterung war da, aber Platte nicht) und eine andere Halterung war dermaßen lose in der Wand, dass man Angst hatte, etwas draufzulegen. Die Lüftung im Bad war außerdem so laut wie ein Laubbläser… aber das nervigste Geräusch waren die knarzenden Betten, die bei jeder Gelegenheit Geräusche von sich gaben. Das war wirklich nervig! Ähnliche Geräusche fanden sich auch in den Zimmern unserer Mitreisenden, sodass ich von einem allgemeinen Problem dieser Bettkonstruktionen ausgehe. Was mir wirklich positiv gefiel, war das Frühstück, das liebevoll vorbereitet für lediglich 10€/Person in der Lounge dazugebucht werden konnte. Generell möchte ich betonen, dass die Angestellten alle sehr nett und zuvorkommend waren. Aber nach unseren Erfahrungen werden wir das Hostel wohl nicht noch einmal buchen.

ein komfortables Hostel mitten in der Stadt; hatten ein großes Familienzimmer mit 4 Betten; preisgünstig. Markt und Passagen sind bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen; gute S-Bahn-Anbindung. Sehr freundliches, liebenswürdiges Personal, nette Atmosphäre, wunderbares Frühstück mit allem was man braucht; Koffer-Abstell-Service für vor dem Einchecken und nach dem Auschecken. Wir fanden alles prima und haben uns wohl gefühlt.
