Excellent value! I enjoyed the stay and will be back! Rooms are basic, bathrooms are shared, but that's all I needed. Everything was very clean, quiet and modern. I had access to the garden. There is a kitchen and dining room to use. Breakfast is self-service. Good coffee and fruit is always available for free. You pay a little for butter and honey/jam/cheese. Very friendly staff. Easy to reach by public transport. Area seems nice but I didn't really have time to explore.

As the name suggests, they provide shared rooms in basement apartments. The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen was nice with all amenities, even complimentary bread and coffee for breakfast. The service is great, they even let me check-in before the official time. The house was just 6min to the bus stop, so was very easy to navigate throughout the city from here. Would really recommend this place!

This is a small accommodation spot. The rooms are clean and have all that you need. There is wifi and the 'honesty' breakfast system was a real treat, with a lovely choice of things to eat. The staff were friendly and very helpful too.

Loses two stars for two different reasons. Check in time is from 14:00 so when I was shown to my room at 14:23 it was not ready. Not too much of a problem as I sat on the lovely terrace for a few minutes. But then, I needed to freshen up by using the amenities (I had been sitting on a coach for three hours), but the lady was still cleaning them.The other star I deducted simply because the coffee machine wasn't working during my visit.Overall though, I would recommend to stay here, nothing wrong with the rooms (although a bin would be a welcome feature).

Value for money! We were lucky and got a room with private access to the garden. The beds are very basic but acceptable for the money. If you are tall be advised to ask for a bed without ends. We stayed at the hotel while it was 32 degrees. The hotel has no airco but because it’s basement it was cool. Check-in a bit difficult. Your have to be at the hotel before 20:00. I would recommend the hotel to find a solution for this.

May be it is the best place to stay at in Hamburg, the rooms are clean, tidy with variable sizes suitable for all. The location is perfect; very near to city center and just 4 minutes walking from the bus stop and the university is just down the street. Shopping facilities are even nearer.Yet the best thing there is the people, they are more nice, friendly and helpful than you can imagine. My experience with them all was great.If you are a student or a tourist, if you are visiting Hamburg just for a couple of days or for weeks, this place is great and those people are awesome.Thank you all.
