Reviews and Ratings
The hostel is situated in the charming old town area, offering easy access to local attractions like St. Thomas Church and markets just a short walk away. My dorm was spacious and well-arranged, with a convenient private washroom. However, I had a rather unpleasant experience with the breakfast arrangements, which left much to be desired regarding hygiene. Overall, it’s a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly stay with great access to the city.
I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The spacious and airy rooms were a definite highlight, and the communal kitchen and lounge were great for socializing. However, I faced some issues with the WiFi and inadequate lighting in the private room. Overall, it’s a good budget spot but there are some downsides that could affect the comfort of your stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hostel, located in the heart of the old town. It's a short walk from public transport, and major attractions are just a stone's throw away. The rooms were spacious and tidy, and I appreciated the well-equipped common kitchen. However, the atmosphere felt a bit less engaging due to the spacious dining area where people tended to isolate at their tables. Overall, excellent value for money with friendly service!
I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The rooms are incredibly spacious and clean, which was a big plus. However, the noise levels were quite high, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The location is convenient for dining and sightseeing, but the customer service left much to be desired. Overall, it was decent for the price, but I would be cautious about the noise and service aspects.
The hostel is in a great location, close to the old town and popular attractions like the market and St. Thomas Church. The rooms are spacious and equipped with private washrooms for convenience. I appreciated the well-equipped common kitchen, but the overall atmosphere felt a bit lacking compared to smaller hostels. Noise was a concern due to the hard surfaces and creaky beds, which may not be ideal for light sleepers.
This hostel is situated centrally, making it convenient to explore the area, and my private room was spacious and clean. However, the service left much to be desired, especially with the long waits at reception, and I faced issues like inadequate lighting and a lack of hot water during my stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hostel right in the heart of Leipzig. The location couldn't be better, surrounded by shops and restaurants, and the rooms were clean and spacious. However, there was an issue with the hot water during my visit, which was quite inconvenient. The dining experience, especially the breakfast, was excellent and very affordable.
I had quite a mixed experience at this hostel. While the location is unbeatable and the rooms are spacious and clean, I was seriously put off by the breakfast hygiene. The value for money is fantastic, especially considering the large breakfast options, but the service in the breakfast area needs a lot of improvement.
