Hostel is very simple and old but it is clean. The staff are very friendly. I asked them to cancel my last day, and they accepted and fully refunded me. The restaurant is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.

Location is very good. The rooms are simply furnished but clean. The shared bathrooms are also clean.Unfortunately, the water temperature in the showers fluctuated greatly and after a few minutes there was only lukewarm water.Unfortunately, the WiFi also worked very unreliably.

The hostal is located in a nice part of the city. The room with bathroom was an imposition (for three days). The bed mattress was very, very sagging (back). The matter was discussed with the boss. He wanted to take care of a mattress. After two days nothing happened. Very sad! The shower/toilet in the hallway is more modern and therefore more recommended.

The location of the hostel is great. The staff very nice and helpful. The room was clean and had everything you needed, as was the bathroom. However, it was very loud at night. I had room 33, every time the door to the stairwell opened/closed, my door creaked so loudly that you thought someone was trying to get in. As a result, it was almost impossible to sleep peacefully.

The best half chicken around! Highly recommended. The restaurant is open until 3 a.m. every day and you can order your chicken until 2:30 a.m. An absolute classic in Münster and has been for decades! I always like coming here, especially after midnight, although it is also very nice here during “normal” opening hours. Summary: the classic pub for a “night meal” and otherwise clearly: the best restaurant with chicken in Münster!
