Surprisingly, nice Hostel and quite large. The toilet and shower are in the room as opposed to down the hall. Nice that it is shared with less people, but also adds noise to the room. The room is VERY hot and stuffy and can barely open the window to get fresh air. My mattress has springs poking my body. Hostel has a guest kitchen and towels are provided, even though Expedia does not have them listed as an amenity. So that was a nice surprise. Easy to lose your way in the many hallways. Quiet hours are not enforced.

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.

Do not stay at this hotel! The hotel is in a very shady part of town, with intoxicated men just hanging in and around the hotel. There were no sheets or pillow cases on the bed and the mattress was filthy! The pillow and throw were covered in blood and sweat and there were unknown substances running down the wall. I tried to call the customer service but the phone was answered by a rude man demanding my name and room number, which was so odd! We had no choice to but check out within a hour of checkin in. My children were too scared to sleep in such conditions. Do not stay here!!!

Chaotic

Check in wasn’t good at all. Everyone was encourage to use the self service terminals however I never actually saw anyone successfully check in this way. Took a long time to get a room, went up to it and it hadn’t been cleaned. Went back to reception, given another room, same problem. On the third attempt I actually got a clean/ready one. Hotel needs air conditioning as having windows open is noisy

Das Hostel war im Prinzip ok für den Preis. Jedoch gibt es nur 2 kleine Aufzüge wo max. 3-4 Personen ohne Gepäck reinpassen und auf die man ständig lange warten muss. Da wir im 8.Stock untergebracht waren, war dies leider nicht zu Fuß möglich und schon gar nicht mit Gepäck. Das Personal an der Rezeption war freundlich aber nur wenige waren deutsche Muttersprachler oder gerade in der Einarbeitung. Die Verständigung war daher meist mühsam. Der Frühstückssaal im Keller war eine reine Katastrophe. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und für den Preis recht gut aber es erinnerte mich an eine Gefängnis Mensa... kaum Licht und sehr kleine Fenster und niedrige Decken. Das hat uns wirklich erschreckt. Dennoch ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses des Hotels gut und die Lage in Ordnung. Es gibt in unmittelbarer Nähe U und S-Bahn sowie Busanbindung.

Gute Anbindung zur S1 mit der man praktisch überall hinkommt. Übernachtung mit Frühstück hatten wir gebucht, viele unterschiedliche Generationen, aus den unterschiedlichsten Ländern waren vertreten, trotzdem Ruhe zum angenehmen schlaf gefunden. Auf dem Dach ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten um den Tag ausklingen zu lassen.

Also der Preis war ok, aber drum herum nicht. Das Angebot an Speisen ist sehr bedürftig und viel zu teuer für die Größe der Position. Getränke ebenfalls zu teuer. Eine Pepsi (0.5) 3,40€ und eine Flasche Bier (0,5) 5€(aus dem Automate) Die Fenster kann man nur ganz öffnen und der Straßenlärm, schrecklich. Fahrstühle funktionierten nicht und wenn man in den 6. Stock muss, mit viel Gepäck, ist man schon am Anfang super genervt. Ich hab im Zimmer, einen € gefunden, was mir sagt, das das Zimmer nur oberflächlich gereinigt wurde. Das eine Kopfkissen hatte einen großen Fleck, einfach eckig. In der Nacht, laufen die Kinder, von anderen Gästen, laut durch die gänge und klopfen sogar an die Türen. Also an schlaf und Erholung, ist in diesem Hostel nicht zu denken. Also für Party people ist es wahrscheinlich perfekt, aber für leute, die einfach mal abschalten wollen, nicht.und übrigens, ist Hamburg eine riesige Baustelle und vom Berliner Tor sind es nicht 5 Minuten,wie a&o es auf ihrer seite schreiben, sondern 20 Minuten, da man einmal um den Pudding muss. Im großen und ganzen bin ich enttäuscht.

Das komplette Hostel ist in einem katastrophalen Zustand. Ab dem Bereich des Fahrstuhls bis ins Zimmer waren die Wände verkratzt, bemalt und dreckig. Das Zimmer war nicht gereinigt. Die Bettwäsche mit Tierhaaren. Das Hochbett war ohne Bettwäsche. Alles Marode. Trotz niedrigem Preis, kann man Sauberkeit erwarten. Frechheit! Haben direkt wieder ausgecheckt, auch wenn wir den Betrag nicht erstattet bekommen haben. Achtung, die Fotos des Hoteld stimmen ich mit der Realität überein.

Das Hauptargument für diese Unterkunft ist definitiv die Lage direkt am hauptbahnhof. Ansonsten sind die zimmer ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Sauberkeit im Empfangsbereich und in der Dusche auf dem Zimmer waren eher mittelmäßig. Zusätzlich waren während meines dreitägigen Aufenthaltes die Aufzüge nur eingeschränkt nutzbar. Das Frühstück ist für 12 € in Sachen Preis/Leistung gut, auch wenn die Essensräume im keller erst einmal gewöhnungsbedürftig sind.Die Dachterrasse und skybar sind hier ein gutes nice have.
