So the hostel was really good compared to the other hostels I've been in so far, why only one star? The night watchman was very arbitrary, rude, almost cheeky, very aggressive and very uncooperative. He wanted to have one person in our group copy the house rules all night long. One person in our group even cried because of it. Other than that, we all behaved appropriately. Still, it was damn loud all night but the night watchman wasn't interested. I can actually recommend the hostel, but only when the night watchman is down from “his trip”.

A classic A&O hostel in a fairly good location. You shouldn't expect too much, but for the price the rooms are clean and sufficient. There are no closets anymore, which is a real shame. In the hotel you will find guests from all backgrounds, school classes, couples, families and tourists from all over the world.

Was very nice stay very welcoming! Especially Irfan was very supportive. Price is good for value. Don't use the the looker machine for 4 euro it is not a multi opening through out the 24 hrs. It will eat your 4 euros ones opened. The atmosphere was nice towels and linings are included.

Friendly staff, a clean house, a simple but clean room, a good breakfast, close to the bus and SBahn. In relation to the price, it was ideal accommodation for our city trip to Munich.Gladly again!

Price/performance fits. Breakfast is simple but good. Cleanliness was very good in the rooms, the general toilets could be cleaner.It would also be nice if you had a contact person at the reception who spoke good German in a hotel/hostel in Germany. It wasn't a problem for us, but there are definitely people who don't speak much English.In addition, I find the tripping hazard in the form of a small pit in front of the stairs to the building where the rooms are located very dangerous. Because of this, my husband tripped and injured his ankle so much that he now has to wear a splint.

Too bad. The cards on the doors are constantly broken. At 3 a.m. we get new customers in the room.

Rooms are quite clean and relatively nice for a hostel, at least at first glance.Breakfast for €11 is a bit minimalistic but still definitely something for everyone. If something ran out it was quickly refilled.The staff mostly only speaks English, sometimes the wait was a bit long until someone came to check in and out. Could also be a little friendlier...Otherwise everything was good and the location was good, you could get to the SBahn station quite quickly and had good connections.
