Guest Reviews
- Inna (7/5): - Eine praktische Unterkunft mit guter Verkehrsanbindung.
Durch die Lage und Ausstattung bietet sie gute Möglichkeiten zum Ausruhen. Es handelt sich eher um eine einfache, praktische Unterkunft ohne besondere Extras.

- Aaron (9/5): Alles in Top. Spind zum abschließen gibt es, Leute sind nett und rücksichtsvoll gewesen. wenig Platz - - -

- stéphanie (6/5): - Le moins cher du coin On a attendu 30 minutes dehors avant de pouvoir faire le check in. Il y a tiroir sous le lit et casier pour ranger affaires, mais sans clé. Il y a une 20aine de lits dans une grande pièce. Douche et toilettes au sous sol, mauvaise aération ça se tait mauvais.
Mais lit confortable

- Michael (5/5): Wochenende ok.. Leider wieder ein Parkticket am Sonntag früh bekommen. Pure Abzocke durch die Stadt - die zentrale Lage Das man Kurtaxe bezahlen muss in einer Großstadt wie Hamburg. Wofür und für was. Ich habe keine Vergütung für die Kurtaxe erhalten. Alles nur Anwohner Parkplätze. Man kann seinen PKW ja nicht mit ins Hotel nehmen. Pure Abzocke durch die Stadt selbst am Hafengeburtstag kennt die Ordnungsbehörde keine Gnade.

- Sarang Pratap (3/5): - Staff is very helpful But there are crazy people in the room , they come at night and start talking and doing things, since the area around is also a bit 18+,
i couldn't sleep all night due to terrible noise from the lady .
- Kyösti (6/5): OLen suhteellisen tyytväinen. - Ei ollut aamiaista -

- Pia Sophie (3/5): Einmal und joa war ne Erfahrung - Das Hostel liegt zentral an der Reeperbahn, dadurch kurze Wege. Betten waren ziemlich okay. Es wäre gut gewesen, wenn bei der Buchung ersichtlich gewesen wäre, wieviele Betten tatsächlich im Schlafsaal vorhanden sind. Zudem sollten unten die Toiletten überarbeitet werden, da Spannholzplatten schon etwas "Charme" haben aber für den Preis den ich dort bezahlt habe, hatte ich schon eine bessere Qualität erhalten. Matratzen waren mir persönlich viel zu weich

- hennie (1/5): BED BUGS and rude service - After some conflict with one guy at the desk who kept giving me ugly looks, the second guy gave me my 20euro in cash for the night I didn’t want to stay there because I got bit by BED BUGS BED BUGS. And overall rude. Claimed I’d brought them myself from home, instead of gotten them from the 20+ people room in the hostel. Nasty guests too, mostly men in their 60s snoring and walking around in their underwear. And some tourist woman sleeping in the basement supplies room.

- Damian (1/5): -
- Elena (4/5): It was worth the money but I didn’t feel very safe - The beds were comfortable and good location The place was full of creepy men, people turning lights on in the middle of the night (4a.m) and having very loud conversations, flies in the toilets, not very clean.
- Robert (1/5): Nein danke. - Miefender Geruch. Voll gepackte Zimmer bis zu 20 Personen. Personal ziemlich unfreundlich und arrogant. Probleme bei Bettzuweisung. Wurde mehrfach Nachts geweckt.
- KONSTANTINOS (4/5): -
- Yukiko (1/5): I didn’t stay. Waisted money - I did not know that is the redline district. That’s my fault but it’s not friendly place at all. Nowhere to put bags, towel, clothing. Very dark anywhere. Anyone can come in from outside. It’s not a good standard safe place. They didn’t reply my numerous questions before arriving.
It was so dark hardly to see anything. No locker. No side lamp.
Staff weren’t friendly
- Dennise (8/5): -
- Yvonne (3/5): - Die gute Lage. Mitten in St Pauli Ich habe 7 Betten in einem 8 Bett Zimmer gebucht. Als wir dort ankamen, hieß, es gibt keine 8er Zimmer. Nur einen 20 Schlafsaal?? Whaat??? Am nächsten Morgen mit einem Mann gesprochen, der dachte er hätte ein Bett in einem 5er Zimmer und war dann auch in dem 20er Zimmer untergebracht. Sehr merkwürdige Art und Weise seine Betten loszuwerden.
- Christiane (7/5): -
- Stephan (8/5): - Für den Preis bekommt man ein ordentliches Hostel in der dafür passenden Lage.
Es war vermeintlich sauber und für eine Nacht okay
- Viviana (1/5): - Està al costat de transport públic No apte per viatjar dones soles, dormitori, banys i dutxes mixtes que no es poden tancar. No és segur. Relació qualitat preu pésima
- Otto (6/5): Good stay, value for the money! - They where kind enough to let me park my motorcycle in door which was out of the ordinary it could only fit my bike!
- Damir (6/5): -
- giorgio (4/5): -
- Albert (4/5): Prea mulți în aceeași cameră și foarte scump - Nimic Prea mulți în cameră și fără baie în cameră

- Urbani (1/5): No ir, es una estafa - Que pude dejar la mochila antes del check in Es una habitación con 24 camas, sin luz.. Había gente vendiendo drogas en el fondo.
Entraba y salía gente extraña, todo muy incómodo, pedí una cama con cortina, no había, había un tipo que estaba ahí todo el tiempo y no se iba.
Me dio miedo, no volví a dormir ahí. Pagué por nada, no me iba a arriesgar a quedarme no me dió nada de confianza, no es un lugar para mujeres que viajan solas, no es seguro.
- Ionut (10/5): -
- Izmar (10/5): - La cama muy bien y muy agusto

- EDEN NOUR (9/5): - Guten Tag
Ich war schon 3 Mal im Hostel Westlight. Kann das Hotel nur empfählen. Super Lage.
Achtung, bitte die Karte um die Eingangs Tür zu öffnen Nachts bevor Sie weg gehen testen, da meine Karte ging nicht und es kam keine Hilfe.
Musste warten bis ein anderer Gast kam. Ich hoffe es kommt nicht wieder vor.
Vielen Dank. Die Karte, für die aussen Tür ging leider nicht. Musste lange Draussen warten.
- Santiago (5/5): - Cuenta con lo básico. La cama, luz, enchufe, cortina, baños compartidos. La cama no tenía completa la cortina, estaba demasiado pegada a la otra cama. Me mencionaron muy rápido cuáles camas habían disponibles.
- Manuel (8/5): - La ubicación en el barrio de St.Pauli. El personal muy amable y buena calidad-precio. Las duchas son unisex y puede ser algo incómodo.
- Marcel (8/5): preiswerte, äußerst zentral gelegene Unterkunft - Äußerst zentrale Lage,
gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis -
- Devin (4/5): -
- Mattia (8/5): Very good -

- Drazen (9/5): Superb -

- Yahya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zohaib (9/5): Superb -
- Ait (9/5): Superb - Sweet and good reception service Was a bit dark, maybe need more light
- Dennis (7/5): Nice and valuable but NO LOCKER - Regular hostel as expected . Good place for saving money You hear music from the clubs until night. There is NO GARANTY that you are getting a LOCKER
- Zach (3/5): Only if you have no other options - The property seemed mostly clean I didn’t like much about the property. It is not an actual hostel and the price was far too high for what is offered.
- Mizanur (1/5): Bad -
- Hi! (9/5): Superb -
- Pablo (7/5): Good -
- Michel (8/5): All in all I really can recommend the place for folks, who want a cheap stay within downtown limits - I especially liked the comfy bunks with curtain privacy (almost as good as the ones in Japan)
very good location
Cleanliness
Cant really understand, why folks are complaining about the place. on the weekends it s pretty crowded outside in front of the place. Many drunk people outside as well
- Badawy (9/5): Superb - The location is very nice, the guy at the reception is friendly There is no Kitchen
- Wilma (9/5): Very clean and nice hostel for solo travelers - This was overall a really good hostel. It was clean, had good beds (especially the bottom bunks with curtains). They had an dining room with a microwave and kettle. Only single travelers were staying there. Very kind staff! Maybe because of that there were only people on solo-trips that were staying there, it wasn’t a ”friendly” hostel, not a place where you meet new friends. Not a place where you greet the other travelers. Also, would be nice with a door between the dining are, and the sleeping room. And also a fridge.
- Adam (8/5): Very good -
- Adamaqri (7/5): Hostel in need - The reception was good and helpful Foreign people are in front of the door waiting someone open the door to come inside
- Abelina (4/5): Disappointing - Beds were comfortable and private Bathrooms were dirty and creepy
Cards for entry didn’t work
Staff was not always eager to help
- Manuel (1/5): Should be cheaper taking into account the noise. - It’s close to St Pauli street so it’s convenient for those who want to party Not convenient if u want to sleep bcs of the noise. You will hear music from the street which probably won’t let you sleep at all. Too much noise.
- Fares (5/5): Passable -
- Yusuf (1/5): Bad -
- Jesper (4/5): Disappointing - Nice with privacy with curtain in bed room, close to metro and supermarked I made my first night booking on here, and then i made i other booking, i ask reception what a night extra night cost a s she said 50 euro.
Iwent on booking.com and found a cheaper price and made a booking and payment, but after 10 min its was cancelled by hostel with excuses its was all full, i went to recepand now the wanted 60 euro for a hostel bed. After complaining she went back to 50 euro price.
And a excuses with cash payment only, i said no and after some hours i coud pay with card.
Cant say what went wrong but the place seems a city chaotic and a bit of a scam with payment.
- Mehmet (8/5): Very good -
- Meurs (5/5): Passable -
- Trofimenkodenis (3/5): Horrible. I couldn't recommend it. - All night club music played too much loud. I didn’t sleep at all.
- Ravi (5/5): Passable - The cheapest place I found The bathroom always smelled really bad
- Deyvid (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gjyrgji (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jayaprakasam.p (8/5): Very good - Hostel responded well in early check-in
- Sarina (8/5): Clever concept, unbeatable location, clean and comfortable despite being noisy - Unbeatable location (both to Reeperbahn as well as the next S-Bahn station), nice staff, felt very safe despite the ever present dodgy people on the Reeperbahn at night. I really like how the concept of this hostel is simple, but just works: only one big dormitory with bunk beds whose lower beds had curtains, so you could get dressed and undressed without going to the toilet cabinets. The lockers were big enough for middle-sited suitcases, the beds really comfortable, clean, and each equipped with its own light and socket. The sound-protection obviously doesn’t work against the bass of nearby clubs, but it‘s astonishingly quiet. The air gets really stuffy in the night, and the bass of the nearby clubs is audible, even though, like I said, they did their best to shield it off. The no key-card system didn’t personally make me feel unsafe, but I’m sure it‘s not for everyone.
- Stefan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Finsterbusch (3/5): It's a no for me - It was near a Ubahn station, that's good. Honestly, if you are a backpacker that is not a place for you. It was not the cheapest option but it should have been. You share a single room on the first floor with more than 20 people. The bathrooms are mixed and the showers were not private. Nothing was.
It should be cheaper than what it is. Like... It's not worth the money I spent, i had to leave halfway my reservation because it was just that bad. And the floor was sticky for some reason.
The people working there were nice though.
- Jayaprakasam.p (6/5): Pleasant -
- Adrian (1/5): No refunds in case of emergency - No refunds in case of an emergency No refunds in case of emergency
- Anna (5/5): a hostel for one night, not more - a hostel for one night, not more , it was pretty bright in the room at night
- Lakshan (7/5): Good -
- Alex (7/5): Good -
