I liked my place. I had a separate bed i a female dorm and there were only 2 of girls. The bathroom was inside of the room. Everything was tidy and cute. Also the stuff was very polite and helped me with some key issue. The U-Bahn is not the far from the hostel as well.

This was my third booking in the hostel. I personally and my friend were so happy with the hostel. The staff is very kind and helpful. It is a really clean hostel. Each time I got surprised seeing the bathrooms clean. We did not feel that they are like shared ones. In a great location. Less than 5 min go essen hbf which is a great bhf with frequent train options to cities like köln/bonn/dusseldorf/münster. For sure a next time again place for me!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
