"Essen Übernachtung"

5.0

Nah zum Bahnhof und passable für eine Nacht.

Die Duschen sind nicht sauber und einen Duschknopf in der Dusche 🚿 ist nicht ideal.Solche Druckknopf kommen am Beste im Poolbereich und nicht im Inneren Bereich. Das Bett finde ich nicht gut gebaut, da es beim runter kommen, der Fuß mehr Platz braucht. Vielleicht einen normalen Leiter wäre bequemer.

Ich bin außerhalb des Check-ins angekommen und das hat wunderbar geklappt.

Die Stufen vom Stockbett. Man kann sich nicht festhalten beim hochklettern 😅

"A lot of things to improve"

4.0

The only positive aspects were the cleanliness and the very central location. And of course the Building: was very new.

However, I still have to leave a negative review because several things during my stay were really frustrating. The reception was almost never staffed, not even during the official opening hours, so if you need assistance it becomes a problem. I had to wait hours for check-in, yet if guests arrive late they are charged an extra €10. That honestly makes no sense. Since there was basically no supervision, the common areas did not feel safe to me as a woman. The entrance door was often left open and anyone could walk in. There were always several men hanging around in the kitchen area and it was not even clear whether they were actual guests. You should provide controlled wristbands or key access, keep the entrance closed, and have a properly functioning reception. Another inconvenient thing, although manageable, is that guests have to make their own beds, and there is no possibility to request a lower bed even for health reasons. On the last day I even had to pay for a locker because I wanted to leave my backpack there for one extra hour before leaving, but since nobody was at reception — despite it being within the stated hours — there was no other option. Overall, it genuinely felt like nobody worked there. It was not professional at all. Also, there were no social activities organized, no WhatsApp group, and no effort whatsoever to help guests meet each other. The atmosphere was very cold, impersonal, and honestly quite depressing for a hostel experience.
