Reviews for Generator Hostel Hamburg
Review 1:Staff could have been more friendly. Burnt food from the cafe WiFi was awful. Location didn't feel safe Room smelt of eggs ( not sure if that was the hostel fault tho or just a really smelly roommate!) No soap in the toilet While it didn't bother me,the bathroom is quite small.
Review 2:The bed was comfy. Room was clean The bar food. Location - near bus and train station.
Review 3:- locker is so expensive!!!! -The only hostel that charged for keeping a locker i have been to. - i arrived earler than the other person in the same room. But staff let her in 3hrs before check in time. For me, i waited until check in time!! Unfair!!
Review 4:-just nect to main station - very clean - i liked that they have one other shared shower room outside of room every floor.
Review 5:No kitchen which was very disappointing and the private bathroom made me think I was in an air-plane toilet
Review 6:Great location and price. Luggage storage was good but the staff was not very helpful when I asked how to use it (i.e. they told me where it was but did not help me get into the locked room)
Review 7:-Close to main station -Staffs are nice and helpful -Good wifi connections -Rooms are cleans -Good facilities( individual chargers and free computer uses) -Modern design Value for money!!!
Review 8:check in was too long, too much people staff was really few, and the bar didnt have food,
Review 9:comfortable for the money spent near the bus and train and metro station
Review 10:Bathrooms and toilette were too tiny and badly designed, such that I preferred to use the public ones in the corridors. Some staff were not polite and entered the room without permission when we were in the room, although our room was an all girl room and this even needed more caution to be taken.
Review 11:Of course I liked the location most. Hamburg's main train station was on the other side of the street and the major shopping areas were accessible by a short walk. The lounge, or the upstairs lobby was very comfortable one could even take a nap in.
Review 12:Cleaning men just threw away something I left in the bathroom, and they are super noisy when cleaning even if some customers are still sleeping in the room. The staff of the hotel generally seems lazy, bored to be working there and sometimes agressive. There was a confusion on our reservation for the last day and the staff tried to quick us out of the room very agressively in the morning, without even checking that we had booked for one more night as we told them. Breakfast service is incredibly slow. Also, the bathroom and toilets are super super tiny.
Review 13:The hotel is ideally located next to the Central Station. Nice decoration of the common rooms as well. There is a bar inside the hotel and the hall is very big with confortable seats.
Review 14:The bathrooms in the 8 person room were horrendous. There was no room at all to do your business. I felt like I was in a port-a-potty when I was in there.
Review 15:The location was perfect for me considering I was taking the train.
Review 16:Everything looked perfect until my little pillow was stolen. There wasn't any passenger at the room, and the pillow wasn't there after housekeeping. Someone of the hostel has the pillow but they said that the pillow is not here. If they steal even a pillow, everything could be stolen. The bathrooms in the room are too small
Review 17:The Hostel is really beautiful and clean
Review 18:The bed. It wickles when you move just a little bit. I couldn't sleep well.
Review 19:The location. Right front of the Hbf and ZOB. The cafe and bar+luggage room. Comfortable to rest there also after the check-out.
Review 20:Wanted to check the hostel for a long time and finally did. Disappointed. I would enjoy more frequent cleaning. A towel one has to buy at high price. No external food and drinks are allowed. The team is extremely international and that can be felt elsewhere. E.g. exactly when you are naked and ready for a shower in the room appear without warning 2 male managers of southeastern origin which need to check smth. Lovely.
Review 21:Modern, more or less stylish premises. Extremely white bed sheets.
Review 22:Overall it's good. Bedroom: the bathroom is clean enough but coulduse a more efficient cleaning (it's dusty so it made me wonder aboutthe rest of it). It's good enough though. Beds - this isn't aflaw, it's just fine but it could be slightly better: the protectionon the sides of the beds are a great idea - thumbs up for that (!) - butmaybe a bit darker shade or in a different color could isolate from theroommates reading light better than it does. I don't mind but othersmay be inconvenienced by it so I didn't want to use mine for toolong since they were trying to sleep. I forgot to mention to the frontdesk that the hairdryer was broken (bd 212 or 213). Please check forfunctioning of all the items when cleaning the rooms. Food: there are novegan options that I noticed on the bar. That would be nice and wouldreally give 'brownie points' to the place.
Review 23:Location: It's close to the main station, as in in front of it, andquite a tall building which is great and so practical since it'seasy to locate and it's 25 minutes by S-Train from/to theairport and I could actually walk easily to the main Christmas market(amazing) and shopping area (near the airport there's also a veganrestaurant by the way). There are Christmas stands all over town and acouple are in front of the hostels' door. DECORATION:The hostel isbright and colorful, the common areas are very nice to hang out in, theyhave big windows and you can see the whole street, sofas and tables andplenty of space, as well as tv, music and games. It has a bar and anarea where you can get hot drinks and backed goods, sandwiches, etc.(pizza too). Bedroom (all-girl 6 beds bedroom): the bedroom itself isnicely decorated and clean (although you need to take your own padlockor buy one for €3 there), it has one blow dryer on the wall and bigmirrors, a big window with actually dark enough curtains so youdon't have the sun on your face like in other places, the bathroominside is indeed small (reminds me of the airplane ones) but they areenough for what you need (if you are a specially tall or large personyou may find a bit inconvenient I imagine, but the common ones are verygood size and look very good, they also have a blow dryer). It'swarm, don't take a really hot pajama. Staff: the security person iscool, the front-desk staff is helpful enough. Bonus: the 'freetours' stops by at 10:30 A.M. (it's so good! You just have togo!) and there are some lockers downstairs where you can choose for howlong you want to keep your stuff (payed for accordingly) before the roomis ready or after check-out time (there's a free area with a camerabut if you have passport or valuable goods it's best to choose alocker). Also, if you forgot shampoo, toothbrush and stuff like that youcan buy them there.
Review 24:The toilet was so small, it was so high price for renting an iron.
Review 25:The hostel and our room were so clean and i liked the security man in hostel,it is more safe when you know that there is a person who controls everything.The bed was so comfortable.Internet connection was greate!I liked the color of the walls;)
Review 26:Quite an unpleasant smell in the stairwells, elevator and hallways of the premises. Very small private bathroom.
Review 27:Super close to the train station. Security at the door and other doors you need scars key to access. But clean and good value for money.
Review 28:Bar was closing too early,list of drinks doesnt include good variety of brands.
Review 29:Location,facilities,lockers with security almost everything was great.lavatories in the aisles was good to use and there was soap there also,thats nice and clean.
Review 30:Breakfast nothing special. Dishes were dirty, and rooms looked like started to clean and not finished. We had dormitory type room with 6 beds and toilet and shower in room. Toilet and shower looked like toi toi toilet, very claustrophobic. So we used shower which we found in corridor.
Review 31:Good location
Review 32:Not allowed to bring external food/drinks. Shower really inconvenient, due to the fact that the shower head was fixed on the wall and not able to rotate.
Review 33:Location was just perfect, the room was cosy and clean and the price really good! We had our own bathroom as well, something not always to be expected from a hostel
Review 34:Need to bring own towels (can be purchased (not rented!) at reception for 6,50€) and a pad lock for the locker. Breakfast is 5€.
Review 35:Everything was clean, you had a super nice bed and a great connection for traveling as the train station was only 100m away. Also, high security levels!
Review 36:The room is really very small with ca. 8 sqm The toillete is a "airplane toillet" with 2 sqm Toillet bad smell inside the room Very expensive (140€/night) for the size of the room and the quality of the service Very Noisy
Review 37:Very close to the Main train Station
Review 38:You should know to bring your own towel or accept to pay for it. And Oropax helps cancelling out the noise from guests as well as from the dorm's toilet and/or shower compartments.
Review 39:Real quick check-in. Very nice beds and sheets. Clean... Hostel has its own bar...
Review 40:많은 후기에서 말하는대로, 방 안에 있는 샤워장이 매우 좁다. 얼마나 좁길래 그러나 했는데, 실제로 보니 몸집이 크지 않은 나한테도 정말 좁았다. 그리고 세면대에서는 앞에 달려있는 선반에 방해받아서 세수가 거의 불가능하다. 선반에 이마 대고 해야될 것 같다. 그냥 복도에 있는 공용 화장실 및 욕실 쓰는게 훨씬 편하다. 공용에는 드라이기도 있다. 다만, 많은 이들이 복도에 있는 샤워장을 쓰려고 하기 때문에, 아침에는 사람들이 문 앞에서 기다리고 있다. - It is very hard to take a shower in the room, because space is very narrow. but there is a public toilet in the aisle. beside you can use hair dryer in that space. however, you can experience traffic jam. people are waiting for public toilet in the morning.
Review 41:- 일단 위치 하나는 갑. 버스타고 와서 ZOB터미널에 내렸는데, 따로 지도 볼 필요도 없이 바로 건물이 보였다. 중앙역도 바로 옆에 위치. - 엄청 깔끔하다. - 침대랑 이불이 매우 편했다. - 먹을 걸 가지고 들어올 수 없지만, 숙소 내에 음식부터 음료까지 모두 사먹을 수 있다. 해피아워 시간 이용하면 맥주 싸게 먹을 수 있음. - 무난한 와이파이. 다운속도는 느린데, 인터넷서핑이나 카톡에는 지장 없다. - 카운터에 문의해서 프린트 했는데, 그냥 꽁짜로 해줬다. - I think the location is best. you can see central station and ZOB bus terminal at this accommodation. - very clean and cozy - You can't bring food but you can buy food and drinking in this hostel. - Wi-Fi speed isn't bad.
Review 42:Abysmal wifi speed and patchy coverage on smaller devices, claiming 'fast' is a flat out lie. Dial up in 1998 is faster. Terrible for any businesser that needs to stay in the loop. Shower too small to get changed afterwards.
Review 43:Convenient charging sockets in bed, beds comfortable and private-ish
Review 44:I was extremely disappointed with the staff. We arrived early morning and dealt with a reasonably rude staff member. I found a particular culture to be extremely unprofessional. While I was in the lobby having coffee, 3 staff members started discussing cases where the customers have been wrong. My brother and I reached late, so they mentioned it specifically. Many more cases were discussed where they complained. I as a customer felt targeted. Our bus was late, we were from a very tiring journey and the last thing I would have liked to hear is how the customers are stupid.
Review 45:The lobby area was very chill.
Review 46:Staff at reception could have been a little more chatty.It's not like checking into a proper hotel.Hostels are just not for me.
Review 47:Good breakfast.Good location.
Review 48:The room and shower were too small. Check-in unfriendly. Too basic in comparison with A&O. I would not go back! and I would not recommend!
Review 49:Location
Review 50:In a room with double bed there were 2 single beds sliding apart from each other
Review 51:Location is just perfect for those who goes for a short trip Otherwise it will be not so comfortable to live nearby noisy railway station with lots of people
Review 52:Didn't like the rude cleaning staff who disturbed me and my friends after we had extended our check out to 1pm. Very rude to us as they didn't have one their sheets that we had made the extension! Felt like a little child!! Too small a shower for a long legged and armed person like me!
Review 53:Location and comfy beds and the privacy screen on the bed too!
Review 54:The hostel needs to review it`s administrative procedures. We paid extra for a late checkout but still there was somebody knocking on our door in the morning.
Review 55:nice modern hostel, close to the central station
Review 56:Annoying having to log in to wifi each time I wanted to use it
Review 57:Good central location near the main station, comfortable clean room, good value for money.
Review 58:The food, customer service was awful. The room too small & the vibe. . Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
Review 59:Ummmmmm nothing to be honest. Oh maybe the location
Review 60:No soap in bathrooms, noisy residents making noise in the early hours, room not cleaned while there and lack of places to store clothes
Review 61:Handily placed less than 5mins from Hamburg Main Railway Station
Review 62:Dorm rooms have a private bathroom, but bathroom in the room is so small. I used the bathroom in the corridor to take a shower. There is no soap in the toilette, which is unusual.
Review 63:Great Location. 1 minute to the train station and cıach station. Hostel is very close to all city attractions.
Review 64:Great and friendly staff! Excellent position, close to the central station and just few minutes walking from the city center! Very clean! Nice atmosphere! Excellent quality/price rate
Review 65:I arranged in advance 1 block of beds for us, but, unfortunately, the hostel failed to provide us with it. Still the girl on reception tried to find a variant for us.
Review 66:Always clean and comfy. Breakfasts are great. Location is really good.
Review 67:If to be hypercritical, the bathrooms were too small and not ergonomic enough. As well there's no option to leave your baggage for free after you're checked-out. You can use only payable baggage storage.
Review 68:Great location, polite staff, modern rooms and equipment. Definitely would recommend this hostel for other travellers.
Review 69:Staff is not very friendly, not helpful and seems annoyed all the time; the room and esp. the bathroom are way too small considering the price you pay (it's more like an airplane toilet!) with only one pretty small towel; smell of smoke in bathroom; overall the price-performance ratio is not satisfying!!
Review 70:Design of public areas like lobby or bar and breakfast area; lots of young people; table football; location of hostel
Review 71:Sometimes, the security is too good. I understand that, which is ok.
Review 72:Everything here is great. The bed is so comfortable, there are my own electric socket on bed that I cant recharge anything before my trip. Location is too easy to find, i did notexpect that is gonna be such a great location next to the station.
Review 73:The location is ok, very close to central bus station and Hauptbahnhof and city center, but I wasn't feel very safe there in that neighborhood.
Review 74:The room was clean and comfortable. You have access to wifi free. I really liked the lounge area.
Review 75:Not as cozy as smaller hostels, more like a hotel. Bathrooms modeled like ones in trains or airplanes, though much cleaner. Luggage storage isn't free. Bums hanging out right outside, so there's a guard that has to let you in.
Review 76:Clean, stylish, new premises. Really close to central train station.
Review 77:Prices at the bar were a bit higher than advertised on the internet (probably they just have an old menu online). Our room was quite small, but still OK for a hostel.
Review 78:Located just in front of the main train station, friendly staff, cool bar. Everything was clean and seemed to be quite new. Excellent price/value ratio.
Review 79:You have to pay to leave your luggage, though there were excellent lockers in the room. And no kitchen.
Review 80:Clean, sophisticated hotel-style hostel. We arrived at 4:30am and the staff let us stay in common area - no problem. The wi-fi worked well in both the room and the common area. Security guarding the front door made you feel safe. I really liked this hostel.
Review 81:The toilet in the four person womens room was in the room, teeny tiny, and did not have much sound privacy. Also the sinks were so small they were practically useless.
Review 82:Nice enough room with comfortable bed, warm showers.
Review 83:I can write is not real hostel. There was no kitchen, no fridge...... Only be quite. Too many group of pupils and makes the feeling you are in school
Review 84:Cleanliness looks is a priority.
Review 85:Very weak team Do not like helping people The mattress of the bed uncomfortable Not good !!! Internet is very slow unstable There are many disconnections !!! Too bad !!!
Review 86:Very nice hostel - Very close to public transport
Review 87:It's not cleaned in a regular time, bathroom and shower in the room are too small. No soap for hands.
Review 88:I loved the location of the hostel, the great atmosphere in it, how nice people can be staff and other travelers.
Review 89:The room wasn't very clean for the two nights that I spent with the rubish basket full for that time and the floor a bit dirty.
Review 90:Good location near Hbnf and metro, with places to eat and supermarkets nearby. Beds are ok.
Review 91:Ordered a pizza,after waiting for a while was asked what I wanted on it.waited longer and it never arrived. Being served at front desk took a while. Friendly staff but service could be better
Review 92:Great place to stay when visiting hamburg. Great value, cool bar. Worked perfectly for us!
Review 93:you can't check in and also open the door in the hostel until 2pm. anyway, when you finally have unlock doors key, sometimes it doesn't work: you need to open three doors before you get in the room, and, for example, the second door doesn't open and you need to wait when somebody else came in. dirty bathroom and toilet with not closing doors. Lock locker for my stuff (in the room) was broken
Review 94:location is great - center of the city, railway and bus station is about two minutes walking. Nice bar, helpful staff.
Review 95:The bathroom door lock was faulty. Bathroom and toilet were really tiny. There was a little shelf above the tiny washbasin which makes washing up really awkward.
Review 96:The location was really good, I can just walk 200m to catch my train. The shops in the central station close a bit later so its convenient too. All the beds have a small piece of board at one side so there is privacy. It also shielded my bed from lights from other beds. Wifi was good. There are showers along the corridors which are bigger and more comfortable.
Review 97:The staff were really rude and unpleasant. No thank you or please at this place. Worst of all they mixed up our booking and we were practically dragged out of the bed at midnight to explain their mistake! There were no apologies for what was their mistake. Also they advertised that they made meals but often had nothing more than some fries. The place has potential but the staff are rude and incompetent.
Review 98:Location and facilities were good
Review 99:Extra charge for hand soap/shampoo...very cheap choice for such a nice hostel.
Review 100:Great hostel, very clean, perfect position, very close to the central station and the city center (walking distance). Great bar and common areas.
Review 101:We had a VERY unpleasant situation with the door guy who kicked out one of my friends that was having a coffee with us in the lobby. As a customer of the coffeeshop, he just wanted to go to the toilet and besides not allowing him to do so, he kicked him out in a very rude and violent way, he even seemed he wanted to start a fight with my friend. Needless to say, my friend never disrepected this guy or was neither drunk or anything.. we were just having coffee! This totally ruined my experience in the hostel!
Review 102:Location is perfect, right in front of Hamburg Hbf (train central station). As every Generator, the decoration is nice and you have different areas for recreation, pool, computers, TV, etc.. Nice and clean bedroom, though the toilet is really small, looks like an airplane toilet.
Review 103:kitchen/Food/speed of Service/F&B Service in general. Reason: Ordered Generator burger, and tacos with seperated sauce - first try: got wrong burger with cold and old oil-fried fries, second try: correct burger with missing bacon, got Tacos with covered with sauce(should have been seperated), missing fresh salsa, third try: (waiting another 25! min. to correct everything) Got correct burger, and fresh slasa was chinese bottles "sweet and sour sauce". Sorry guys: this is not eough to call yourselfe Chef, kitchen, restaurant ...not even pub. When I grabed cook to have a "chat" ... he stated, yes i made the wrong burger and I dont know what to say. By al means --- you have about 10 "easy to cook/prepare" dishes on your menue, if don´t know side dishes from tacos or burger, if simply dont know what you have to prepare as cook, leave it. You are blaming all other cooks! To management: Service and complaints training would help (how to deal with xyz...) Train your kitchen staff - have them put into a real kitchen - they learn organizsation ( or just get a real learned cook into your kitchen. Unfriendly "security" staff - a little smile to new guest would help to feel at least a little welcome walls are very thin, and no security/DM was arround midnight to stop the party all over in 5floor during nights. It doest make sence having a DM on duty, not stopping this nois. You could even hear it from 3rd floor wash basin: honestly: get it corrected. Too small ... Please management: try to wash your face under these taps and wash basins.... you will see that you made big pupu with the size of them. happy to see your improvments in 2016 regards, Ralf Wieland - 7-9.10.2015
Review 104:very close to Central Station Color concept
Review 105:For a day I had a room mate that snored loud but that has nothing to do with the hostel
Review 106:The staff are very friendly, best location, rooms are clean, decorations are pretty hip, but my favorite thing about this hostel is that it's easy to meet other tourists there and go exploring Hamburg together
Review 107:A few more hooks around the room would help. The staff were sometimes a bit grouchy. The in-room shower was too small to be helpful, and it was impossible to wash your face in the sinks. With only one female public shower on 2, and with the one on 3 being broken, I felt the hostel could have used more public showers. The hair-dryer in both my room and the public bathroom on 2 did not work. The area around the hostel was a bit rough/smelly. One dryer is broken - despite drying my clothing for 1.5 hours on 'normal', they were still rather wet and I had to pay for another cycle (in the other dryer). There seemed to be a lot of high-school / college groups.
Review 108:The bathrooms and room were always clean. Ample computers for general use. Good bar, enough common area seating. Light, outlet and usb outlets at each bed, lockable compartment under beds.
Review 109:hmmm.... there's no free locker / luggage storage service but one must pay for the locker.....
Review 110:The location, the interior, the comfortness and also the service. The hostel is located right next to Hauptbahnhof and above U-bahn station, which is perfect for either exploring the city or catching other transportation. The room is sooooo comfortable and well equipped comparing to my last experience in other hostels. You can also find small things such as ear-plugs, towels available for buy at the counter. Breakfast is simple but fresh. All in all it is surprisingly good considering the price.
Review 111:The shower and the wc inside the rooms were too narrow. The washbasin level was very low and this felt uncomfortable. I could hardly brush my teeth. The staff was good and helpful but not smiling like the southern Europeans.
Review 112:The location is perfect; located just on the same street with the central station (Hauptbahnhof). The security was good. There was a guard in the door Breakfast was fine.
Review 113:It takes a while to get used to the size of the shower and toilet. In an 8 bedded room, the shower was pretty small, and it was hard not to get the bit outside the door of the shower wet. So for people who want to change in the privacy of the bathroom whilst staying in a mixed dorm, such a luxury is not possible.
Review 114:Brilliant location right next to the main bus and train station, so it's relatively easy to find. They offer breakfast and you can order food, snacks/sandwiches at different parts of the day. Beds are comfortable and reasonably spacious.
Review 115:Excellent location, staff were helpful, and the room is clean. Breakfast can be better otherwise it's all very good! Will be happy to return again!
Review 116:On every floor there is a bathroom that wasn't that clean.
Review 117:The fact that the beds had 2 Usb ports and a flashlight and separators so you won't distrub other room mates was awesome! The internet connection was very good and the staff was ok :)
Review 118:2 of the female receptionists were unbelievably rude. Because there are plenty of people staying there, 2 of the women working there thought that guests were dispensable ego-boosters and that they could act like angry, superior divas. Very, very unpleasant and infuriating.
Review 119:The location cannot be beat. It is right next to the main train and bus stations, and the U-bahn runs all night on weekends. This makes it a place to stay any time you're in Hamburg.
Review 120:We were a group of 5, we requested a room together. They added an additiinsl person and the hostel by no means was full. They should have put the additional person somewhere else. The ensuite bathrooms are horrific. Not clean. Small like urine. They're tiny and I'm a tiny person. The shower abd toilet are seperate which ha a stupid concept and the shower is so small that you can't move without touching a wall or something. It was awful
Review 121:Location is right beside the bus station and central train station and a 25 min walk to the red light district and nightclub area.
Review 122:Very very small showers in the bedroom. Luckily there was a shared showers in the corridor.
Review 123:Staff Nelson was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was okay for the price paid at reception.
Review 124:Staff were VERY unhelpful especially when I had problems with my initial booking. Their telephone manners leaves a lot to be desired! I found them completely unapproachable and dreaded talking to them on the phone to help resolve my issue! If this ever becomes the last hostel/hotel in Hamburg, I'll take my chances and sleep in the street just so I don't have to deal with them. It's management should provide or continue to provide basic staff training for front office staff. Appalling!
Review 125:It is so big and crowded, therefore you may wait in queue at the reception for check in hostel. Also being a huge hostel it does not makes you feel that you are in a local place.
Review 126:Generator hotel, huge, industrial, clean, modern. This hostel provides you all simple accommodation in a perfect manner. Good breakfast and bar area.
Review 127:Not enough bathrooms - had to use the bathroom in corridor. The toilet/shower in the room was pointless.
Review 128:location, the bar/atmosphere, beds, WiFi, info and the people. Secure.
Review 129:Some staff were great, some were very grumpy and unhelpful. Central location is great, however it was quite grubby around the building with a lot of homeless people.
Review 130:Central location, cheap cost, lounge and bar areas were good and nice design. Very clean.
Review 131:It was very hot in our 8 bed room. Also, the bathroom and toilet spaces are sooo tiny, it would make anyone claustrofobic
Review 132:Great location, very clean and modern
Review 133:Everyone says the bathrooms are tiny in the rooms, and they are. Tiny tiny. I used the bathroom downt he corridor. Reception welcome wasn't great on check in, but after that they were helpful.
Review 134:Beds are great having 2 USB ports Convenient location across from the main train station.
Review 135:The washrooms. It's like being inside a coffin. The wash basin is practically redundant given its size and position.
Review 136:Brilliant location, very cordial staff and overall a nice experience at the hostel
Review 137:There is NO air con in the bedroom. Fine in winter time but when we were here it was hot and the room was unbearable. A fan was available at a €20 deposit. The room door does not self close. Doors need to be slammed to ensure closing. This was the same for the neighbouring rooms which was annoying when trying to sleep. I doubt that I would stay again.
Review 138:The location is good next to the main train station and the metro. Easy to catch the metro line to most places. Room was okay. Nothing special.
Review 139:Price - quality balance is disappointing: hotel prices for hostel comfort (including midnight raves).
Review 140:Location, although at the dodgy side of Hbf, is convenient.
Review 141:Rooms too small beds not comfortable and for this conditions expensive .might be okey for backpackers and youngs .
Review 142:Nice location ,central and good facilities
Review 143:You have to buy anything else you want, like toiletries and such The street is a bit noisy but if you close the windows you can barely hear anything.
Review 144:Stayed in the generator for one night only so I can't really judge everything but what I did like was the location, it's right next to the Hauptbahnhof (the central train station) and the ZOB (the bus station) the beds were comfortable you get your own plug in your bed and reading light which is great when staying with many people, they have a nice bar and a 24 hour snack shop
Review 145:The toilet and shower are very small in the room.
Review 146:Location. Right outside the train station. Big hostel, decent staff. Lively scene at night. Good beds with all provisions.
