The stereotypes are true: no one can beat Germans at organising stuff and just doing things efficiently. After years of travelling, I can declare that this is the only hostel that puts ‘guests’ before profit. The little help stickers on the walls everywhere guiding you about stuff (turning lights on, or random info), a cozy common area, the absolute cleanliness and order, the kindness of staff, and the overall thoughtfulness put into everything in this hostel is second to none. Great job!

Sehr cozy, klein und fein sehr schön. Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Küche könnte es noch mehr Platz zum Essen geben an Tischen. Und die Bezahlung online mit Visa war bei all unseren Karten (4) leider nicht möglich. Wäre schade, wenn die Übernachtung daran scheitert

El lugar es acogedor. Tiene justo y lo necesario para un viaje de paso. Alison fue la chica que me atendió fue muy amable, explicó todo correctamente y estuvo pendiente siempre. En la mañana puedes comer cereal con leche que es cortesía de la casa, o tomar un té. Dormí 10/10.

I never leave ratings, but for LOTTE I'm making an exception. You can tell both personnel and owner are frequent backpackers. Everything has been thought of! Not sure if there was a washing machine, but if there was I would've still used my 'washing day for another day and place. This hostel is simply too great to waste a 'washing day' on! Super clean, great social space, spacious rooms, breakfast coffee and tea. Just spark up a conversation with your fellow travelers and you'll have a blast!

What a wonderful hostel!! I really loved staying here and everyone I spoke to said the same thing. It’s so cozy, clean, and well located. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Extra points for free coffee, tea, and cereal (they even provide milk and non-dairy milk). Oh, and you don’t have to wash your dishes, what a service!!
