Für den Preis super
Pros:

24 stunden rezeption, nettes personal, tolle Lage

Cons:

Der USB ladeanschluss an den Betten hat nicht funktioniert, so dass man sein Handy über Nacht nur an einem anderen Stromausfall (weit entfernt vom Bett) hätte laden können.

The Room Was Nothing Like Expected
Pros:

The only positive aspect of my stay was the polite and friendly staff.

Cons:

I had reserved a private room for myself. Based on the photos, the rooms appeared to be spacious and comfortable. The reality was absolutely terrible.

I was given a room on the ground floor. The room was extremely small, dark, dirty and old. It felt as though I had been placed in some kind of utility or storage room. The room did not meet my expectations at all.

It was also obvious that some of the construction and renovation work had been done very quickly and poorly, with several unfinished or makeshift solutions visible. The shower was another example of this — the shower hose and shower head were practically coming away from the wall, and there was also water leaking from the pipe.

On top of that, the noise level was unbearable. People were constantly walking back and forth in the corridor, slamming doors and making a lot of noise outside the window. There was no ventilation or air conditioning in the room, which made it very hot. However, I could not keep the window open because it faced directly towards the noisy area where people were constantly passing by. The window could only be opened fully, so I would not have felt safe leaving it open, especially on the ground floor.

My experience was so unpleasant that I booked another hotel that same night because I was not willing to stay there any longer.

Great price for budget travelers, typical hostel drawbacks
Pros:

A huge hostel in a complex of large buildings, maybe an old production site. Very good price, very nice staff, clear directions and clean rooms and areas, modern guided self-check-in and access. Utilities inside the room. A small guest kitchen is available.

Cons:

Not a very central area. Rooms are typical bunk-bed hostel type, with no separation of beds for privacy. You need to make the bed yourself with the bed sheets handed out at the reception.

Pros:

Lage ist super, Fahrräder im Innenhof relativ sicher,

Cons:

Einchecken war durch Personal komplizierter, als es hätte sein müssen, Nächte waren durch andere Gäste sehr laut, Fahrräder sollen mit bike plus mit aufs Zimmer, das dafür zu klein ist
