I had to run out and do a tour, but when I came back I wanted to take a shower. I asked if I could get a towel and how much it would cost. The front desk lobby mentioned that they do provide them free-of-cost, but that they were out. This was rather striking considering they offer lodging and washing rooms. I also had to wait until 2pm for check-in, but when going to my shared room, I had to put on the bed sheet and pillow case. I've only stayed at one other hostel, but the experience was more pleasant elsewhere.

Hostels are always a great place to meet a lot of really awesome people. They are also a great place to meet a lot of really freaking weird people. Don't worry about it though, cuz it will be painfully obvious who is there to have a good time and who's trying to have a good time at the expense of your good time. Like the 60+ year old doofus who was so drunk and sloppy, trying to hit on EVERYTHING and causing a huge ruckus and scene when he was promptly kicked out. Don't be that guy X___X Be chill B-)

CONS: I'll start off by saying that, yes, as others have…read morenoted, the front desk staff is less-than great. That's what knocked it down to 4 stars for me. And, other cheaper hostels I've been to have provided free breakfast so the hefty €7.90 for breakfast here wasn't a high point. (We never did get the breakfast so I can't tell you whether it's good or not) Laundry also seemed expensive at €3 to wash and 2.50 to dry. I ended up washing my things in the sink. The elevator is small. PROS: Over all, despite the cons listed above, this was one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. First and foremost, it was really CLEAN which is so important to me. It had lockable drawers under the bed (provide your own lock) so that was very useful. In our particular room, we had a separate tiny shower room apart from the toilet / sink room which made getting ready in the morning with 4 of us a lot easier as someone could be in the shower while another was doing whatever in the other bathroom. Use the photo booth for €2 in the lobby area for a cute souvenir. Easy / short walk from the Hackerbrücke station and not a bad walk at all from the Haupbahnhoff main station. (With your luggage you'll want to get off at Hackerbrücke but without luggage it's a nice walk to the main station where you'll find a bunch of yummy breakfast choices.)

It's not too far of a walk from the main train station, but it's just far enough if you have a lot of luggage. They have their own bar, and game room, and televisions downstairs. Checkin went pretty smoothly, and the staff speak great English! We stayed in the cheapest Hostel rooms, 6-8 bunks with lockers, and they'll loan you a lock if you need it. This room had its own bathroom, which is better than dorm style restrooms for the whole floor, which they also had. Our bunkmates were a little rowdy one night and came back drunk, but I can't fault the place on that one. There are also family rooms, and single or double rooms with private bathrooms if thats more you style, and you prefer the more Hotel like feel. The building itself was really quite to both outside noise and from room to room. It had plenty of places to just hang out or get quiet time if you needed it as well. They only had wi-fi in the lobby are though, and they have computers you can use for a small fee per minute or per hour. They also rent bicycles, if you need, andhave transportation nearby going every direction. Just ask for help if you're unsure. There is also a GREAT free tour that starts in the area. I recommend doing that first to get the low down of the area. It's way helpful!

Where do I even begin?…read more I guess I should start with some backstory. I booked a cheap flight to London back in the summer and then decided I'd just give myself a long layover and leave for Munich the next day. I'd been to London before, and in theory, after a 10.5 hour Flight (and I'm a heavy and easy plane sleeper), I could knock out the city and just head straight back to Gatwick to get my Flight to Munich the next morning, no hostel required. This is where I failed miserably: I didn't factor in the possibility that even though I'd stayed awake for the 36 hours prior to my flight, I might not actually be able to sleep on it. And I didn't. And I walked around London for 5 hours/roughly 14 miles/about 6 coffees. By the time I'd made it back to the airport, I couldn't even recollect the last time I slept, nor could I remember simple things like shoes need to be tied or hey I probably shouldn't leave my passport on some random counter. Suffice to say I needed to sleep immediately. I was meant to stay with a friend of a friend, but I couldn't be around people. I was getting to a point of planning the destruction of all mankind I was so tired. So I decided to book a hotel last minute. Found this one on Hotels.com for a reasonable price and jumped at it. Then I remembered. Most hotels don't allow for check in until 1 at the earliest, and this was no exception. Insert expletive here. I emailed the hotel just to see and I was shocked at the response. The manager (currently out of country celebrating Christmas with her family) set me up early so I could get some much needed sleep AND then checked up on me to make sure I'd gotten in and gotten some rest, not to mention sent some travel suggestions. Then I decided this place was awesome (see below for reasoning), so I asked to stay another night. They were shutting down for the holidays so there was no one in the office to take my money. They let me drop my € in the box to stay the next night before I jumped a train to Hallstatt. I was in shock. My Christmas angels, no doubt! As for the place itself, it's not a typical hotel--rooms are smaller and the toilet/shower is shared with the floor. Other than that, it was everything I needed. A comfortable bed, WiFi, sink in the room, access to a microwave and kettle, and hot water in the shower. It was literally everything I want whenever I travel (as I'm beginning to outgrow the 10-bed dorm hostel scene). The place was crazy clean and had obviously recently been updated. It was cold outside, but I was completely comfortable indoors. It's located in a safe neighborhood with easy walking or train access to the city (city center is a 20 minute walk). I have to thank the staff again for such an epic response. I was blown away by their kindness.

Towels aren't provided but need to pay and put down a deposit of 10 euros which we get back when we return the towels. My friends and I booked a ten bed co-Ed room with 5 bunks, shared bathroom with toilet, shower, and heated rack. Everyone has a locker to store our stuff without locks but you can use your own lock. When we walked in, a cleaning person was remaking the beds with fresh sheets and cleaned the bathroom. Free wifi with same user and password. Love the decor, clean, tidy, and great location, close to the train. All you can eat breakfast for 8euros. Laundry machines on site. Cons: * Rooms are super hot and no fans so it was hard to sleep in the summer * The bunk beds and lockers are made of metal so any little movement makes a lot of noise * there's not a lot of room on the bottom bunk to sit up or hang any towels or clothes to dry * The shower doors didn't seal all the way so the bathroom floors got super wet whenever I showered * blow dryer is not provided
