Great overall!Only two things I personally didn't like as much: due to the building being quite old ("Altbau"), you can hear the other guests a lot when they're walking around - especially at night.To save water the showers are on a mechanical timer. This wouldn't be an issue if the timer wasn't this short and the shower head wasn't clogged up as much.Nevertheless, definitely would recommend staying here!

If you want to smell all day the food fron the restaurant nearby,you can sit here.Every night was very loud noise and smell like a dirty kitchen.The rooms doesn t have air conditioner and if you open the windows you would hear the noise from the employees ,slaming the garbage bin covers and laughing under our window.When we werecomplaining about this at the reception,the red hair girl was so angry.She said is a hostel,not a Hotel.I must not complain.The room was not cleaned for 7 days.The soap from the horrible bath was finished after 4 days.Not clean,not Quiet,not wellcoming. Bad experience

Very basic single rooms and overpriced at 52 euros with a shared bathroom. Considering the WiFi does not work properly, the bar below the hostel is noisy till 2300. A few changes and it would be much better.

Quiet, unique little hostel just a short walk from most of the sites in Erfurt. The staff were friendly and the room was spacious. The staff do request that you pull the linens off of the beds before you leave, so do keep that in mind.

Excellent hostel located in charming Erfurt. The staff is relaxed and understanding (big props to the woman (with the dreads!) who checked me in - I can't recall her name, but she rules), the hostel has all the amenities a traveller needs, and the atmosphere is friendly and cozy. Got a good night's sleep every night, met a few nice folks. Would 100% recommend staying here. Apologies to the cleaning staff for the horrible nosebleed I had the one night!

I stayed here for about two months in the summer during a work/study, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were all extremely cool, down to earth, knowledgeable about the area, and very willing to help out. In fact, I've made a couple really good friends here. As for the hostel itself, the rooms and the bathrooms are very clean and comfy. The decorations really make you feel like your staying at a very interesting, very homey place.Fantastic place to stay :)!

We stayed 4 nights at the hostel. It is clean, tidy, great kitchen for self catering. Our room was large, ensuite clean and had little lockable draws that went under the bed for security. Location is fantastic. …
