The staff were clear and attentive and check in was simple even though I arrived quite late (12:30 am). Meanwhile, the bar was lively and welcoming without being too noisy. The bed was also very comfy and I slept well here! 15min walk to the station up along the main high street :)

The only minor downside was the bathroom door and toilet are kind of falling apart opposite the Gentlemen's Dorm, so you have to be careful not to break them!

Everything perfect. Nice hostel in the city center, 15 minutes walk from the central station, owners so helpful and caring, always willing to help. They own a pub on the ground floor as well, very simple and full of cool people. Rooms are daily cleaned, and so bathrooms, halfway and kitchen. You can really meet nice travellers, having nice conversations and a good time together. Ultra recommended, 5 stars. Thank you guys, hopefully see you next year 🤗

Personal, atmosphere and cheap. For prise that you pay, you receive very good service.

Was a bit loud at night, maybe because of lot festivals in that day. I couldn't close a window, because it would be too hot in a room with 6 people. But apart from that, i find sound isolation in room quite good.

Great customer service, replacing loo rolls, coffee filters and detergent when I mentioned they were loo

The room stank of tobacco all six days despite leaving the window open and there being air fresheners in the room

Nice location, beds were clean and comfortable

They don’t allow you to do the check in not even one minute before the time. The receptionist didint even let me sit inside despite he saw me and other travelers outside in the cold and light rain

conveniently located, better price than most other places i could find. the entrance has a crowded bar. It's fun if you're into having drinks with other travelers. Just know that you can hear the noise from the rooms. Wasn't a big deal for me. Got an upgrade to a private room when they accidentally gave my reserved bed to someone else.

the bathroom in the room needs some upkeep as the shower head was loose and had to play a balancing game to be able to shower with both hands. Noise from the bar below can bother some people. "Reception" is a corner in the bar and in the morning you might not find people to deal with if you have problems.

the very nice staff and the variety of people I met there. Also the very good food and music. An elevator I could use. I highly recommend this as a place to stay. Essen is a very interesting City to visit. Wished to stay longer. Will certainly book again.Pete from Rainbow Candles Ltd. Ireland.

Luckily I get the separate room (which I was not expecting, maybe due to less rush) it was very good and clean. Quite too. The facilities was really good, unique comic wall in toilets 😆 and nice paintings in room.

The location was very close to the University and the city center. The price is great for a short-term stay.

The room was ok but the cleanness and facilities of the Hostel itself was not good. The location is convenient, but might be disturbing for people who prefer quietness in the evening.

The Hostel is located right next to a nice local pub where youths enjoy their drinks and play board games so really nice place to socialise with others! Staff was friendly and the location of the hostel is just amazing!

The only negative thing about the hostel was the pillows unfortunately. One of the most uncomfortable I have ever slept. ☹️
