Happy in Hamburg

5 min walk from Hamburg Central bus & train stations. Super clean, super freindly. Twin room was great, private bathroom a bit on small size if a big unit. Location great for getting about, but given where it is, can be a little noisy and on the rough side (had no issues but could be a bit intimidating for those not used to inner city going ons). Bar on site was great, super helpful staff, would definitely stay again

Perfect location next to the main station meaning close to everything. That being said, the noise level outside of the hostel it's therefore high.

Double room is small, but clean with a decent bed. Bathroom is very small. Overall good value for the price and location. 24/7 reception is a plus.

Perfect for 1 night stay

The Generator hostel is across the road from the train station which was very convenient for us. Check in was slow as there we many people checking in at the same time, rooms are small but clean, bathroom is tiny but still useable. Breakfast was 9 euro, there are laundry facilities for 6 euro. There are plenty of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. For our 1 night stay this hostel is perfect
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel is right next to the train station so it’s very convenient for travel. The area is a little chaotic but very typical for areas around train stations. The room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the facilities were decent. Was able to utilize the laundry room and the bar area. The bathroom was super tiny and smelled a bit like sewage but totally fine for a night or two. There is a popular shopping area nearby and we were able to visit the Christmas markets.

Single bed in 8 bed dorm room. As good as it can be given the arrangement. Can't complain given the price.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

I did not like the bathroom in my dormitory, for 6 people to just have a tiny shower with nowhere to put down clothing is abysmal. I did like the kind and friendly staff. And i did appreciated the security at the door as the area is very unsafe.

Lovely, Convenient, Spacious

This was one of the easiest hostel experiences I've ever had. The building is in the heart of the city, right next to the bus stop and the train station. Check-in was an absolute breeze, and the people at the desk were very friendly and able to answer any questions. There is an elevator, and the room was large and spacious. The bathroom was very clean, I had a great view of the street. The only downside is that it's a 45 min walk down to the marina. Other than that, highly recommend.
