Guest Reviews

• Kenneth (7/5): Nice stay in central Nuremberg - Location was within a 20 minute walk of the centre Seemed to be some permanent residents staying at the hostel
• Vatsal (10/5): -
• benahmidi (7/5): -
• Mate (10/5): -
• Tobias (10/5): - Unkomplizierte Abwicklung
• Ali (10/5): -
• Bogdan Nicolae (10/5): Good location! Nice people! ☺️ - Great location, close to the subway train. The owner waited and accommodated me late at night. 😊
• Maria (10/5): -
• Müller (1/5): - Vermutlich ein Rotlichtviertel. Zwei Toiletten wo man benutzten Papier in einen Eimer statt die Toiletten werfen muss. Bei den Duschen bekommt man Fußpflege auch wenn man Sicherheitsschuhe trägt. Mehr möchte ich dazu nicht sagen.
• Kudratov (1/5): - Nichts Das Zimmer war zu dunkel, die Heizungsanlage funktioniert nicht, die andere Nachbargäste waren zu laut. Das Hotel hatte eine Toilette und ein Badezimmer. Die Toilette war so schmutzig, da war keine Bürste, kein Klopapier. Die Dusche war echt schmutzig.
• Jose Antonio (1/5): Piso compartido inesperado - No es la primera vez que me alojo en hostales compartiendo habitación pero lo de esta vez ha superado cualquier cosa. En la habitación que me metieron había ya dos personas pero parece que ellas no estaban de paso, si no que vivían allí, y no tengo ningún problema con eso pero al final sigue siendo un hostal, deben mantener la habitación ordenada para gente que viene de paso o para una noche, como yo, porque al día siguiente tiene un vuelo. Comida por todas partes, ropa sucia tirada, paquetes de tabaco tirados… Uno de los hombres, mi compañero de litera, compartió su alargador para que pudiera cargar mi teléfono. Un detalle por su parte ya que la escasez de enchufes se hacía notar. La calefacción estaba altísima. Era bastante difícil descansar con tanto calor. El otro compañero estuvo viendo vídeos hasta altas horas de la noche sin utilizar auriculares de ningún tipo, como si estuviera en su casa, que este caso es así. Y a las 6 de la mañana, ha vuelto a poner un vídeo con el que ya me ha despertado. Y no crean que ha sido un momento, han pasado 10 minutos hasta que ha parado. Entonces ya fue cuando decidí salir de la habitación y llegar al aeropuerto antes de lo deseado porque seguramente habría menos ruido. Si lo que buscas es una habitación para descansar para coger un vuelo a la mañana siguiente, esta no es la mejor opción. Por prácticamente el mismo precio, puedes coger habitaciones privadas para dos personas en otros lugares en Nuremberg, cosa que iba a hacer pero ya estaban ocupadas y por eso acudí a esta opción tan poco recomendable.
• Khalid Masood (10/5): -
• Tudor (7/5): - Ok Ok
• İsmail (8/5): - İnsanların güzel hizmet vermesi Her yatak için telefon şarz etme fişi olsa daha güzel olur
• Kateryna (10/5): -
• Ihor Bizin (10/5): - freundlicher Empfang
• Manuel (7/5): Good for the price, double check the place and soroundings. - Welcoming personnel, prompt to help. The rooms are neat. It is easily accessible by train or metro. The area where the place is, the vibe is not great. There's a lack of facilities to store personal goods safely.
• JESSE (5/5): Room is just OK, but common areas (and property in general) are a dump. Avoid unless no other option - The room itself is just OK, but the rest of the property is a dump. All other lodging in town was booked up, so Sofia was the only budget option. Common areas of this place are a dump. The kitchen (if you can call it that) is a mess. Refrigerators are a mess. Neighborhood seems to be on the edge of an industrial area. I would not stay here again unless absolutely necessary.
• Tauani (8/5): Bom - O dono mostrou tudo com muita paciência. O bairro não é o melhor, mas não tive problema nenhum dentro do estabelecimento
• Mihai (10/5): - Ok
• maesil (7/5): - 하루 짧게 묵기 좋았습니다. 방도 나쁘지 않았어요. 화장실이 아쉬웠어요.
• İhsan (10/5): -
• Anouar (10/5): - Gute Lage, tolles Hotel und freundliches Personal alles war in Ordnung
• Mohd Yacoub (8/5): - Very nice staff The location and staff
• Callagy (10/5): -
• nekane (7/5): - Partiendo de la base que aunque lo publicitan como hostel y en realidad es una pension..que aunque minima. hay diferencia.mi experencia ha sido positiva.tuve que reservar esta pension porque embarcando hacia nuremberg el hotel que tenia reservado me cancelo la reserva por problemas en mi habitacion.cuando estabamos llegando a los alrededores de la pension sofia pensamos dios mio donde nos hemos metido y ya cuando vimos la entrada..fue de aqui no salimos bien..pero como siempre juzgamos antes de saber..nuestra sorpresa fue encontrarnos a un dueño muy amable que incluso nos dio la habitacion mucho antes de la hora..es verdad que no habla ingles..pero aun asi nos entendimos y fue todo muy bien.el sitio en si es curioso..tiene lo basico..para pasar dos o tres noches..nuestra habitacion una litera..una mesa..un armario pequeño solo.baldas..una pequeña nevera que nos hizo un buen apaño y una silla..la calefaccion muy bien..limpieza correcta y el wifi perfecto. Es verdad que hay que compartir wc..pero tiene 2 abajo y uno en la parte de arriba..la cocina no la utilizamos xq solo fueron 2 noches pero mas o menos bien.tambien quiero destacar que las personas que viven alli..son educadas y tranquilas..diferentes nacionalidades y si hablas con ellos son muy amables y hasta divertidos..digo esto porque he visto algunos comentarios bastante feos. Tampoco he tenido problemas de ruido..todo lo contrario. Ubicacion es perfecta..del aeropuerto 20 minutos en el metro..del metro hasta la pension unos 8 minutos caminando..de la pension al.centro unos 30 minutos caminando..lidl ni 10 minutos caminando..asi que en lineas generales mi experiencia ha sido muy positiva..dejando claro que es un sitio.basico y sencillo Es mas una sugerencia. .quizas una pequeña reforma en los wc de abajo. una toalla un poco mas grande para la ducha no estaria mal😅 Te dejan una pero es de lavabo

• Salvatore (10/5): -
• Meike (8/5): - U - Bahn Station ganz in der Nähe von der Unterkunft und günstiger Preis. Statt ein 4 Bett Schlafsaal war es ein 3 Bett Schlafsaal. Die dritte Person kam aber nicht ich hab alleine mit einem Mann in den Schlafsaal geschlafen. War für uns beide ne merkwürdige Situation.
• Gjini (1/5): Absolut das Geld nicht wert - Gar nichts Meine persönliche Erfahrung mit diesem Hostel war durchweg negativ. Aus meiner Sicht handelt es sich um reines „False Advertising“ – die Unterkunft hat absolut nichts mit dem zu tun, was online versprochen wird. Schon von außen wirkt das Gebäude völlig fehlplatziert; ich bin mehrfach daran vorbeigelaufen, weil es eher wie ein heruntergekommenes Etablissement aussieht als wie ein Hostel. Die sogenannte „Küche“ ist in Wirklichkeit nur ein schmaler, verschmier­ter Gang direkt am Eingang und erfüllt in meinen Augen nicht ansatzweise den Zweck einer Küche. Das ganze Gebäude wirkt alt, marode und so, als wäre es seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr renoviert worden. Der Boden quietscht, ist schmutzig, und an jeder Ecke zeigt sich deutlicher Verfall. Die „Rezeption“ besteht lediglich aus einem Zimmer mit einem angeklebten Zettel als Schild. Der Check-in war für mich kaum möglich, da die Verständigung extrem schwierig war und lediglich mein Ausweis kopiert und lieblos abgeheftet wurde. In meinem Zimmer funktionierte die Heizung nicht richtig, und nach meinem Eindruck wurden persönliche Gegenstände im Zimmer immer wieder verschoben oder verschwanden – mir wurde sogar eine Wasserflasche entnommen. Das mag vielleicht ein Missverständnis gewesen sein, aber es hat mein Sicherheitsgefühl massiv beeinträchtigt. Die Wände sind extrem dünn; man hört jede Stimme und jeden Streit aus den unterschiedlichsten Zimmern. Schlafen war kaum möglich. Das absolute Horror-Erlebnis waren jedoch die sanitären Anlagen: Mehrere Toiletten waren defekt, und das benutzte Toilettenpapier sollte man in einen Mülleimer werfen. Es gibt nur eine einzige Dusche für geschätzt 20 Personen – halb kaputt, Wasser läuft aus verschiedenen Stellen, und die komplette Umgebung war in einem Zustand, den ich persönlich als unhygienisch und gesundheitsgefährdend empfand. Fazit: Für mich war dieses Hostel eine der schlimmsten Unterkünfte, die ich jemals erlebt habe.

• Uwe (10/5): -
• Alena (6/5): - Es gab ein Waschbecken. Dank der Steckdose neben dem Bett konnte ich mein Handy problemlos aufladen. Ich habe in einem Viererzimmer mit knarrenden Metall-Etagenbetten übernachtet. Mein Zimmergenosse war auf andere Bett. Die Heizung war nicht regulierbar. Es roch unangenehm. Ich öffnete das Fenster, aber mein Zimmergenosse hatte es geschlossen – ihm war kalt.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Yilan (10/5): -
• Joey (3/5): -
• Bohdan (1/5): - The hostel is used as a permanent residence for illegal workers it was dirty, the wc and shower is not in a room and is supposed to serve several rooms
• Samurio (7/5): Simplicidade fora do circuito turístico - Gostei da limpeza e da atenção e simpatia do proprietário. A estrutura é bastante simples. É uma espécie de pensão. Fica fora do roteiro turístico. Para um caso emergencial o custo-benefício compensa.

• Hülya (5/5): - Çalışanları iyiydi yardımcı olmaya çalıştılar Konumu kötü metro yakın ama tek kişi geç saatte korkabilir merkez tren istasyonundan iki durak sonra artık mahalle bitti gidecek yer kalmadı demeyin 100 m daha gidince bulursunuz yalnız kalınca bir korkmadı değilim. Ranzalar çok eski neyseki üstte kimse yoktu ama yan oda resmen benim odadaydı😁
• Andreas230983 (5/5): - Jemand mit kleinen Geldbeutel genau das richtige. Man sollte nur nicht zuviel erwarten . WLAN total überlastet ist langsamer als ein 54k Modem Ansonsten alles ok
• Kumissay (7/5): -
• Emmelie (9/5): - A bit worn down but fresh and good The location is bad. But if you have the Nürnberg visitirs pass then it is fine
• Anna (1/5): Bad - The staff told me there was no key for my room. I had to adjust to my roommate's behavior by entering and exiting the room. It was the first time I had booked a room in a hostel that didn't provide two keys for strangers. In the kitchen, the walls are dirty, degreased and stained
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Pretty much everything The behavior by some guests.
• Andrii (1/5): Bad - Very cheap, check-in until 1am Service is terrible. After first question during phone call service guy told me:go fuck yourself
• Akbar (8/5): Very good - The hostel owners were Georgians, who were very friendly and helpful. Moreover, the place located in 10-minute walk from the subway in Nuremberg and, most importantly, because the price was reasonable. But unfortunately, the hostel didn't look good
• Casey (2/5): Very poor -
• Tsakiridis (9/5): Superb -
• Florinel (1/5): Bad -
• Zlatan (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ali (3/5): Poor -
• Hung-hui (10/5): Exceptional - It was great to have a bed like couch surfing
• Satwik (2/5): Very poor -
• Mohsen (1/5): Bad - No English is spoken. This is an Old building with a dirty shared toilet and bath. First, a different dirty room that did not comply with my reservation was offered then he changed to a four-bed room. Not suitable for short-term stays.
• Klorian (1/5): Bad - nothing the employer just put my clothes in 20 minutes in washing machine and my clothes were dirty again even washing. Not worth saying for the price. i made
• David (8/5): Very good - The manager was very friendly , helpful and took special care of me...I had a whole room to myself for my 10 day stay...The hostel is basic and clean , good value for money and a short subway ride / walk from the Nuremberg Hbf...A good place to stay for a budget conscious traveller . All the amenities were there but English operation instructions at the washing machine would help those of us unable to read German.
• Jimoh (6/5): Pleasant - Good
• Mamoru (5/5): Passable -
• Gunjan (3/5): Poor -
• John (1/5): NEVER GO THERE - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. EVERYTHING, TERRIBLE PLACE.
• Hideki (1/5): Bad - Vacant rooms on the day of arrival even during the messe in Nuremberg. No English, no German. You have to translation softwares ( I do not know their language)
• Yu (9/5): Superb -
• Bugra (1/5): Bad - There was a rat in the room. The receptionist was not willing to help although I warned him. The heating was off as well
• Jim (5/5): Cheap. - The location was not too bad. The subway station is a short walk. It was fairly cheap. The staff were actually fairly nice. It was located in a semi industrial area. It felt a little dodgy but the owner was actually quite friendly. We booked a pair of beds in a dorm but got unexpectedly up-graded to a double room. Bathroom was not great.
• Zambon (6/5): Pleasant -
• Carlos (6/5): Pleasant -
• Wahei (1/5): Bad -
• Amanda (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lovett (7/5): Good -
• Sarah (4/5): The low price reflects the condition of the accommodation - The member of staff that greeted me was extremely nice. Although we did not speak any of the same languages, he was very nice and gave an extra electric radiator for the room. The location is okay, it is not in the centre of the city but it is relatively easy to find after getting off the U-Bahn. Although I had booked to stay in a 4 bed room, I was in a 2 bed room and the first night I had the room completely to myself. As a solo female traveller, the area around the hostel, the entrance and the hostel itself felt a little unsafe. The room was extremely cold. Although we had the extra radiator, the main radiator did not work and during the night the room temperature got down to -3 degrees Celsius. Although maybe due to the problems with communication, the checkout procedure was a little confusing. I would have also appreciated a locker or somewhere safe to keep my possessions during the day. This accommodation was considerably cheaper than all others I looked at - it is definitely a case of getting what you paid for.
• Aleksandar (5/5): Passable -
• Shaked (2/5): Very poor - The hostel was small, only one bathroom for the whole floor, pepole seem to live there. small rooms- there is not enough space for two pepole to stande in the room together. strange smell was everywhere- in the hall, in the rooms, and the kitchen was dirty. however the guy at the reception was very nice ,carried my bag into the room, but it was hurt to communicate with him due the fact that he does not speak english. if you are on your vacation or a trip I recommend going somewhere else that will be nicer for you.
• Amy (10/5): Very nice stay :) - The staff was very nice, the bed was large, and the room was clean. Wi-Fi didn't work.
• Bayaraa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Baqar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shorena (9/5): Superb -
• Mulhem (3/5): Not recommended - The kitchen is good and there are washing machines and dryer It doesn't look like a hostel, the room has only one key and we must to share it, the bed doesn't have a sheet , no one can speak English or Deutsch . Too expensive compared to what I saw.
• Rezaye (6/5): Pleasant -
• Farhad (1/5): Bad - It was a terrible place , not clean , not comfortable, there was no good toilet and shower. I don't know how it's allowed to host people.
• Naeem (6/5): Pleasant -
• Josef (7/5): Your local friendly neighborhood - The staff were friendly and the hotel felt neighborly Location was a little further away to the central areas of the city, but nothing too bad. Check out was also just a little "lazy".
• Jake (2/5): Very poor - Location is OK. The guests who are staying here are all travelers. Most of them are having jobs at restaurants in Nuremberg and are long-term lodgers. They come back very late at night after work and make lots of annoying disturbances. In addition, the carpet in the room is so smelly and it seems it hasn’t been cleaned for years. I don’t recommend anyone to come here if you are coming to Nuremberg for a short visit.

• Aleksandar (1/5): Bad -
• Dhoot (4/5): Disappointing -
• Abdullah (5/5): Passable -
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Jalal (5/5): Passable - Bed, WC Kitchen
• Torsten (1/5): Bad -
• Umbelina (8/5): Very good - The staff were very nice and eager to help me even though they didn't speak English. I stayed alone in the bedroom, and it was clean and safe. They have a locker to store my valuables. The location is close to the metro station. Entrance from the kitchen
• Saketh (4/5): Disappointing -
