clean facilities nice staff, always open for questions good location, 13min by foot from train station, a couple of minutes from tram stations big rooms, nice seating area and good view clean bathroom, enough space overall I'm satisfied with my stay! :)
wifi was a bit slow at times, but overall good not all beds had a socket that was reachable while in bed, but nearby so it was manageable curtains were thin, so it was really bright in the morning no bedlight sadly

we travelled as a large group (25 people). the staff were very helpful and accommodating in getting all of us checked in, even though we arrived late in the evening (~00:00). rooms are spacious. location is ~2min walk from S-Bahn station, giving easy access to the rest of the city. (the included breakfast is bread/toast + cheese and ham, cereal, fruit, + 'breakfast drinks' (tea, coffee, juices, etc.) )
some of our group thought that 1 bathroom for a room of 8 wasn't enough. all others were 100% satisfied with their stay.

Very good value hostel. Friendly staff, praise to Valentina and Paulina 🙂. Beds from wood, clean sheets, comfortable pillow. Lockers in the room with sufficient storage space. Stools and table also present in the room itself. Spacious and clean bathroom. There's elevator in this hostel.
Some shady behavior from some of the guests, but that's not fault of the staff or the property.

Location was within walking distance to the train station and many attractions. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The only issue was in the breakfast room. There were many guests who had been before us and the tables were not cleaned and I couldn't find anything to wipe the tables myself. The food was good with a typical European cold breakfast.

- Great location - train station, city center, shopping mall and restaurants in 10-15 mins by foot - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean and bright room, plenty of space in wardrobes, nice hostel interior, foosball - Good breakfast, possibility to buy it for 6€ in the hostel after arrival
- It is quite noisy both from the street and in the hostel itself, but I guess it's what you should expect from hostels :) - Not many power sockets near some beds - better bring your own extension cable socket - Some shelves or night tables near beds would be nice :)

The staff was friendly. It was easy to store my luggage in a room as my train left later in the day. Huge clean bathroom en-suite with a nice shower. The room was also quite big. The location is great. You basically just cross a street then you are already in the city centre.
Only some minor issues: There were only sockets on floor level, not next to the bed. No bed had a lamp. The lockers had a division, so a big bag/suitcase wouldn't fit. There is no stove or oven in the kitchen, only a microwave. Wifi wasn't always working properly. We left the windows open as it was quite warm, but right outside there is a noisy street, so bring earplugs or headphones.

The location was just awesome, just next to the city center. The value for the money is superb, the price per night is one of the best I have seen in Germany. The personal staff is just supreme, all 3 or 4 I had to talk to were really kind, doing even extra things for the customers. The breakfast room is open the whole day and it is perfect for working, there are enough sockets and the environment is quite relaxing, so you can study/work without problems. The Wifi connection worked most of the time at a very good speed. It is true that, in the rush hours, it is rather slow, but the rest of the day works properly. Dishes, glasses and cutlery are provided, people usually clean them properly. There is also a common fridge to store your things. Would repeat the experience here if I come back to Leipzig.
Particularly in my room a couple of my roommates were not very respectful, rather noisy. But it is something you just cannot control, does not depend on the hostal. The bed sheets were provided, but they did not fit the size of the bed. The pillow could be better if it was a normal one, instead of such a big one.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location that is few minutes walking to the central station. Clean room and bathroom. Prices were very good.
The windows were useless due to the noise outside. The towels can be provided for extra money and not included in the bed price just like other places.

spacious room, comfy bed, very clean place although the worn out sheets, very acceptable price for extras like key for lockers, hand/bath towels, breakfast. I liked the old wooden staircase too ;) although there is a lift.
bad window insulation -the car noise was fully in, however quiet overall

Near the City and quite confy...good value for the price paid.
Guests should be told to respect quiet hours...there was a guest on the patio below our windowv who would speak very loudly during early hours of the morning...That was highly unpleasant.
