Located in Leipzig and with Central Station Leipzig reachable within 600 metres, GRONERS Leipzig provides a shared lounge, allergy-free rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 8.5 km from Leipzig Trade Fair, 37 km from Central station Halle and 38 km from Georg-Friedrich-Haendel Hall. The property is 200 metres from the city centre and 5 km from Panometer Leipzig.

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a wardrobe.

It's like a secret spot in the middle of Altstadt. A very cool place, which seems more a hotel, than an hostel. I booked this based on other commentaries and they were accurate. Share the room with other 3 people is the best option (apart from the private room). Several bathrooms at disposal with great conditions, including one inside the room. The building is a bit like a maze, but very charming and with modern furniture in the room. The reception and breakfast area is really confortable.

Hostel Multitude is a unique hostel housed in a beautifully renovated old building in the Plagwitz-Lindenau district of Leipzig. It is a good base for exploring historical sights, industrial charm, art and culture, bars, restaurants, creative shops, theatres, cinemas, urban gardens, second-hand shops and much more.

In a relaxed atmosphere there is plenty of space for hanging out with other travellers and locals in the in-house bar, in the beer garden or in the hostel living area.

First off, a huge thank you to everyone on staff. It was a pleasure to stay with you - I really felt welcomed & at home. Lia (spelling?) & the young man who worked in the morning (whose name I forgot to get but is a huge North Face fan) were wonderfully kind and helpful throughout my stay. The housekeeping staff do a great job in a very busy place. The shared bathrooms & kitchen were kept clean & stocked. My dorm bed was comfortable & offered a reasonable amount of privacy with heavy curtains at the side & foot of the cubicle. The room wasn't particularly quiet (due to street noise & open windows), but earplugs were available if needed. I slept very well. The garden was very pleasant - shady & restful during the day, and a nice place to wind down at night. The hostel cat may even favor you with her presence there. Laundry service was available for 6€, a small & large towel were also 6€. Espresso drinks were available after 9 AM in the bar. The hostel was 5 minutes walk from a GOOD grocery store (I love Kaufland!), but the gas station next door has drinks & some snacks if necessary (and was open on Sunday, unlike many stores). The tram is convenient if you're coming from the Hauptbahnhof & runs 24 hours a day. Also, the attached bar is super cozy. I enjoyed meeting people from all over or just relaxing with a book.

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.

    It is a chique hostel in the city centre. I stayed in a single room with it's own bathroom. It's cheaper than hotel rooms in in a similar location. The kitchen facilities that were well taken care off are a huge plus. There isn't any breakfast in the hotel, but there are plenty of cafés, bakeries and supermarkets close by.

    This hostel was perfect for us as a group of young students travelling for a university meeting. It's budget friendly, simple and clean, staff was very nice too. We liked the ecological concept and their work and we are happy to support the school with our stay

    Wow! This place was amazing! I travel a lot but this must be one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. Great location in the middle of Leipzig and 9 mins walk from main train station. Supermarkets aren’t too far away. Very very luxe looking furnishings. Extremely clean. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Kitchen was awesome! Lounge area was super comfortable with good wifi. I have nothing but praise!!! Also it was VERY good value for money.
