a&o Hamburg City

4 mins walk from Berliner Tor Station via S Bahn but the station doesn’t have elevator. The hostel is huge. I like the Ambiance at the reception. I just don’t get it, why I have to check in again though I already did online. The room and toilet was clean but not a luxury type. I booked a private room for two. I cannot tilt the window and some part are broken. The water pressure at the shower wasn’t strong enough probably bec alot of people using it or they control it. It’s not sound proof as well, so you’ll hear loud noises from the teenagers but, I was able to sleep. You need long patience when waiting for the hostel’s elevator. Everything in Hamburg is expensive. I still chose this since I’m out the whole day. They also have kitchen for guest. Which includes, Stove, Microwace and fridge. You can borrow utensils with deposit. Cleaning service wasn’t good. They didn’t remove the hair from the shower drainage. So the water got stock while I was showering.

The hostel is nice and surprisingly quiet given the amount of foot traffic it has. The ciry center is a 15 minute walk away and there are local shops for food. All in all would visit again

Best for short budget trips. Wasn’t the most private, spacious or secure hostel. Shower seemed to be cleaned regularly though had some hairs on the floor. Wasn’t the best stay for me. The downstairs bar section was quite nice and social. They had a laundry service which is helpful.

Very noisy place. It’s enough to sleep, but wouldn’t recommend. Staff speaks English only, so it’s tough if you don’t know the language. Wouldn’t go there again if I don’t have to.

Not the best service, reception crowded and need to wait for a while to get checked in, hostel is huge with good vibe. I stayed there during EuroCup and was so many people downstairs socializing and drinking. Paid extra for towel the bed just ok.

Staff are friendly. There are many many residents in the hostel
