Professional staff, good breakfast, everything clean, central location, but catastrophic bed: mattress is covered with rubber, which cannot be removed, or the foam is directly underneath. The result: I didn't sleep well, I sweated, I got cold when the window was tilted, and now I have a thick neck in more ways than one! In other JHs I have slept on microfiber covers, which are much more sleep-friendly. Most of the time that I am in a hotel or a JH is filled with sleep, so a good sleep is the most important thing for me, here the JH Magdeburg has clearly failed.

Room extremely small for 4 people. Almost no space to walk within the room. You also share a bathroom and shower with another room.

One socket for 4 people, dirty dishes and poor hygiene when eating. Moderately nice staff but ok WiFi. A 4-bed room consisted of a double bed and two bed boxes placed next to it, so that in the end there was maybe 1 square meter left. The rooms in the pictures listed by the youth hostel do not even begin to correspond to reality and are far from the lower standard that one enjoys here. Too bad...

I had a renovated twin room on the 5th floorSingle use. The staff was very friendly. The dinner and breakfast were great. All in all, I was very satisfied and would like to come back. I parked at the Fürstenwallstrasse car park on the banks of the Elbe.

HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING!!!!!!! The first thing that greets you when you open the door to your room is a smell consisting of urine, mold and vomit. After this nice greeting, the hell of a room in which you have to spend the night is revealed. The walls were half paint half mold, the bed was hard and under the paint there was a fight between unidentifiable stains and spiders. We would have loved to sleep on the floor. But that didn't work either because there was a mattress made of dust and leftover food. The power supply also proved to be a challenge, with only one socket (half falling out of the wall) in the far corner of the room. But why do you need electricity if your cell phone has neither internet nor reception in this dummy bunker. If you somehow manage to escape into the land of dreams, you may well be torn away from it by loud teenagers. With cardboard as walls, this is no surprise. Not even the bathroom offered privacy. Because it wasn't uncommon for your neighbors to stand in the hallway when you went to the bathroom (which you can't reach from the room). That's why it could happen that strangers used the bathroom. It remains to be seen whether this would harm the strangers or us more. Because the mold in the shower was more than enough punishment for the intruders. The food looked so suspicious that I wasn't sure what kind of fruit I was being served here. It could have been anything from pineapple to strawberry. All in all, it was an experience that you wouldn't wish even on your worst enemy.

While I was there I made a discovery of bruises on the pillowcase. The rooms are furnished like in a hospital and the location is not particularly nice.

Nice locationThe rooms were also great, the only thing that was annoying were the fans in the bathroom and toilet, which were very loud.Otherwise only positive things like the cinema or the billiards table in the basement

We were in Magdeburg for two days while traveling through and stayed overnight at the DJH Magdeburg.We arrived in the evening and took the elevator to the 5th floor. There we entered our rooms. There were three of us. The rooms were not overly large, but offered sufficient comfort. However, my first impression, which had been rather good so far, quickly disappeared when I entered the bathroom. When I opened the door, the pungent smell of urine hit my nose. The bathroom was obviously intended for disabled or elderly people, which I found a bit strange since I neither wanted nor ordered such bathroom equipment. The bathroom also had no window or ventilation system, so it was always damp and wet in the bathroom. The hygiene also left something to be desired. The floor was mangy and dirty.The service staff was rather unfriendly. For example, half an hour before breakfast officially closed, we were told rather irritably that we should “hurry up now”.The food itself was okay, but by no means overwhelming.The youth hostel was well connected. So we were able to reach the concert that we saw in the cathedral that evening within 3 minutes. Hundertwasser's Green Citadel was also only 100 meters away.Overall, I give it three out of five stars, especially because of the bathroom. If you are in Magdeburg for a stopover and are only in the youth hostel to sleep, this DJH is ideal for you. However, I couldn't imagine staying in this DJH for a week, let alone longer. I heard from colleagues that there were also normal bathrooms, but this review reflects my personal experience.

Great location and mostly nice staff. Unfortunately, compared to other JHs, the house is very old and a bit uncomfortable. A general renovation is needed here.
