Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited dining options — The dining rating is 7.4, which is decent but not a standout, and the hostel only offers packed lunches and special diet menus rather than a full restaurant.
  • Facilities rating is below average — The facilities category scored just 5 out of 10, suggesting the on-site amenities may feel basic or inconsistent.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, which can be restrictive for travellers arriving later in the evening.
  • No pets allowed — The property explicitly states pets are not allowed, which limits options for those travelling with animals.

7.9Verified guest

“Fantastic value for money, especially given the high level of service from the staff and the clean room and bathroom. The industrial, minimalist design added to the appeal, and the location was convenient with multiple transport options nearby.”

7.9Verified guest

“A quiet location near the S-Bahn station, which was convenient for my late check-in. The night receptionist was friendly and genuine, and the double room was simply furnished but practical. Close to multiple train stations and a nice area to explore. The staff were super helpful and polite, the beds very comfortable, and there are lounges with Wi-Fi and a library. The breakfast is definitely worth buying.”
