Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 22:00 only. If you're arriving later, you'll need to arrange a plan with the 24-hour reception in advance.
- No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, so if you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place.
- Facilities score lower than other categories — While rooms, staff and comfort get high marks, the facilities rating is 7.0, suggesting the common areas and equipment might feel a bit older or more basic.
- No air conditioning listed — Heating is mentioned for winter, but there's no air conditioning in the amenities, so summer nights could be warm.

7.8Verified guest“Stayed a few days and the location was ideal – a short walk from Westbahnhof. Staff went out of their way to help, even arranging accommodation for friends who were stranded. The 24-hour reception and quick responses were great. Spacious common area, comfortable beds, big lockers, and freebies like wifi, luggage storage, hairdryer, iron and earplugs. Would definitely recommend.”
