The only drawback is the possibility of parking. But there is a parking space in the large parking lot.

The hotel is located in the middle of the old city. It is cozy and has complete facilities. The bathroom is clean. There is a table for eating in the room. There is a personal locker for storing luggage with a key lock. If you check in late, the hotel will inform you of the code to open the door and how to check in yourself, clearly and easily. I think this hotel is very good for blackers.

Bad hostel. I booked and paid for an apartment here via Booking.com. It certainly wasn't cheap.Consciously chose this apartment as a pit stop because of the number of beds. 2 bunk beds and 1 double bed. There are 6 of us.Due to a system error by Booking.com that set all ages of the children to 0 years, this Hostel took an extra €50 on top of the €125 that I had already paid.Really sad and scam. That's what you call taking advantage of a situation.And after asking what the problem should be. I just paid for the complete apartment, the answer was yes, but cleaning costs will be added. As if there is suddenly more cleaning to be done. Weak excuse and really sad. And I keep reporting how old my children are to ask for even more money. Truly the biggest nonsense I have ever experienced before.As a family, I would first consider carefully whether you want to spend the night here. And that amount of money for an apartment like that is not worth it.No parking space. They said you should park somewhere 10 minutes further along the Danube.

Rooms no longer quite up to date (sockets), barracks feeling. Anonymous, loveless atmosphere. Positive: Everything works. There is a kitchen with a fridge and icebox, all accessible at any time via code. Bicycle parking space in the inner courtyard is accessible at any time. Price is rather borderline: good enough for sleeping, eating and showering. Not suitable for “holidays”.

Really nice, centrally located hostel with comfortable rooms and lockable lockers. 2 toilets on 8 beds. But it was relatively empty. On top of that, it’s comparatively cheap

August 2022, twice in RegensburgBoth times I stayed at this hostel.I stayed there.About 10-15 minutes walk from Central Station.I stayed in an 8-person room and a 6-person room for most of the nights.I thought it was the best hostel without feeling stressed.Everything is clean.Check-in is until 20:00 or 20:30I thought it was fast, but Germany's railways have significantly increasedIf you can't make it in time due to a delay, please email us.He was waiting for me.The Wi-Fi password is different for each room.Most lounges with chicken have internet access.I couldn't connect, but when I went to my room or outside, there was no problem.It's a great place and close to tourist attractions.When staying in RegensburgI will use this hostel.

2022/08/20 Take a bus from the park opposite the train station and walk a short distance to get there. The transportation is quite convenient. The staff at the reception were very nice, helpful and full of smiles. The accommodation is located in the inner courtyard of an alley, which is quieter than on the road. The kitchen facilities at the reception desk are complete, you can cook your own food, and the public space is also warm. You can come in and rest at any time as long as you have the password. However, it's a long way to go from the city center. It's a little far. It's tiring to go back and forth to the city center frequently, but it's a pity to buy a bus ticket for this distance. Since we are staying in an inner courtyard, the air may be relatively stagnant. In the summer, everyone opens all the windows and doors at night because it is a bit stuffy. However, if it is winter, it may be warmer.

Excellent location in the old town of Regensburg. Easy to find. Easy to check in. The family apartment was more than adequate. Well equipped with cooking utensils, fridge, toaster, microwave, and kettle. Beds were comfy. Heater were always warm when required. Only negative was hot water for shower is usually enough for 2.5 showers..making the third person having a nice cold shower halfway through. And it takes a long wait for hot water to be available. Otherwise it is a very good budget accommodation for a big group. Highly recommended

Had a room for 8 people. This is equipped with 2 toilets and a shower. The rooms were sufficiently modern and nicely furnished for overnight stays.The location of the hostel is ideal, basically everything you need is within walking distance.

Cool hostel. Staff, location, kitchen, common room, cleanliness, late check-in, everything was great. The wifi didn't work but there is a (paid) Vodafone hotspot. I would come back.
