Das sehr kleine, aber sehr gute Hostel hat sich vor allem für die Küchenzeile mit Esstisch Lob verdient!

It’s centrally located and the amenities are not bad which makes it a good value for money. However, the staff is not friendly at all and the atmosphere is a bit heavy.

Very clean good hostel. Friendly staff. The street and surroundings are a bit noisy, so consider to use earplugs, but the hostel facilities are excellent, especially the very spacious and clean bathroom and toilets.

Es ist ein neues und modernes Hostel aber keine Hostel Atmosphäre. Guter Aufenthalt trotzdem. Die Lage, nur 5 Minuten vom Hauptbahnhof .

Horrible scam. I arrived at check in on time and the place was completely abandoned. I waited outside for AN HOUR before deciding to look for another place. An employee named then tried gaslighting me via email saying they were here all the time and that i'm imagining things. Avoid this place like the plague.

very clean and respectful hostel. rooms were spacious comparatively and beds were pretty comfy. I would have had a great time if not for a noisy roommate! Made me want to come back to Essen if I get the chance.

Conveniently located, new and spotlessly clean hostel with comfortable beds. Some things were broken, like the door handle of the first room i was allocated, the lockers in the room, even the toilets (lights turned off so you can't do anything for longer than 10 seconds). The staff was kind to allocate me to a second room after I reported disturbing behaviour of a roommate.

Wir haben zwei Nächte im Hostel übernachtet und hatten einen sehr angenehmen und unkomplizierten Aufenthalt dort.

This hostel is a true hidden gem in Essen! The staff were friendly, the location was spot on, and the vibe was just what we needed. As 4 Liter Bier, Rüdiger and the crew made unforgettable memories here – from late-night sticker action to endless laughter. We’ll definitely be back to finish the trilogy and leave even more stickers behind. Highly recommended!

Good value hostel, close to transport and Christmas markets. Note check in from 4pm, though not a problem as Essen hbf has fantastic storage lockers - the large one fits 2x 70L bags + 40L bag for 5€. Make your own bed with sheets given at check in, towels extra charge. Basic kitchen. Small lounge area. Our double room with en-suite smelled like someone had been smoking in there, so we kept the window open. It was on the 4th floor. No lift. One of the guys helped us with our bags - so lovely!

There aren’t locks on the lockers, something they said they’re working on. I should’ve listened to the reviews about taking a shower before arriving as they were extremely frustrating. The water pressure is just a dribble and stops after about 17 seconds. Additionally, the lights go off after 28 seconds, so again and again you’ll find yourself cold, naked, and in pitch darkness until you wave your arm out to trigger the light and press the button for the water. Great if you’re jus...

Nice little hostel, a few minutes walk away from the main train station. Clean bed & bathroom. However, security could be better especially in the rooms as there were no locks. Overall, not a bad place to stay for 2 nights.

Kann die Unterkunft wirklich nur empfehlen. Alles sauber und modern. Haben sogar kostenlos ein Upgrade von einem vierer Schlafsaal auf ein Doppelzimmer bekommen. Vielen Dank dafür!
