We traveled to the Homeplanet Hostel for 2 days with 21 people (radiology company outing). When booking, the communication with the hostel was very professional! I had the feeling...somehow all wishes are fulfilled and implemented here! When we arrived on site, everything went smoothly. Very very friendly staff. The rooms and bathrooms were extremely clean. We also had very comfortable beds. We all slept very well!!! Breakfast was quite simple! But prepared with a lot of love and it was always topped up! Nobody starved. They really put a lot of effort into it. Next door is the Waldfrieden restaurant - here too, very nice staff with delicious drinks. We can't say anything about the food because we ate out.Thank you very much and high praise from theFocus on radiology

No comfortable beds, you can't fall asleep because of mosquitoes. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening, lots of spider webs on the roof, no hygiene in the rooms.You can't shower in peace because there are no doors, everyone can come in.Unfortunately very dirty rooms not recommended.Because of the noise from the traffic you have no peace and you can't use your cell phone in a very noisy area.

The owner managed to keep our block of rooms dedicated to us only. A bit noisy but it's not to the owner.

What a gem! I was really sorry to have to leave again.I was expecting a run-of-the-mill hostel, but I found a lovingly furnished place to stay with rustic charm and thoughtful details in a colorful district. Room and bathroom impeccably clean, equipped with everything you need. Although it was right on a main street and tram, it was very quiet and I was able to sleep well. I didn't hear anything from other guests at night. The reception/breakfast room/café is also very cozy and invites you to linger. The coffee there was the best I've had in a long time.The hosts are also friendly and personable, I would love to come back!
