Friendly staff and good for families.
Very well-suited for families with not too small children. Not super fancy, but everything you need when visiting Hamburg. Super friendly and accommodating staff.

Our stay at a&o hostel was excellent. It would be good if a kitchen with facilities was available so you can prepare your own meals and dinner available. This is based on our experience at a&o Hostel in Sydhaven, Coppenhagen.

Hostel with hotel quality
Second time i stayed here. It has everything you need, clean room, basic bathroom , fast check in and out, close to the metro and walking distance to the train station, the place is huge ,location not very pretty but hey ,I don’t complain. We paid around half the money compared to other hotels. Will def.come again.

Nice for what we paid!
We stayed in a family room. Twinbed plus bunk bed, shower plus toilet.
It was 23-25 degrees outside but inside it was 30... no ventilation or air con. But we only paid 1000 kr per night so its fine.
I would like to tell the manager rhat they need more people in the recetion at check in. Too long waiting time. The selfcheck in did not work.
The people working in the reception was nice.

It’s a very average hostel…beds are uncomfortable, it could be cleaner.
My door to the bathroom was chipped and marks all over the walls.
Very dusty, random hairs on my towels.
The whole area around Berliner tor and the hostel is a bit dingy, lots of homeless lying in the street all day. Doesn’t feel safe.

Not recommendable
The room was dirty and on one of the beds the old sheets was still on, the hairdryer didn’t work, and one night the guards told us to be quite, even though we hardly made any noise.

Very bad
No ac, fridge, microwave in room. You can only open the window and a lot of mosquito. No free locker through out the hotel. Only the paid one for 4euro. The luggage room can be accessed by anyone, very unsafe and I need to carry the PC whole day. Very noisy the streets around and the room is small, you can seat on the toilet bowl to brush your teeth, or else you will bump your head.
