Lovely property, quiet, clean, and well designed hostel, with a unique setup. The check-in process was extremely simple, and the staff were very responsive when I had questions or concerns. The location was ideal as well, near a park and 10 minutes walk from the station.

The best part of the room are defenetly curtains. There was no sight of the light during the night and morning. Thanks to that we were able to get some sleep.

All hostels in Essen

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The bedroom is very nice. There is a huge kitchen super confortable for all the hostel's guests. Also the common spaces are good and clean. The location is perfect because is close to the central station and to the Ubahn but also 10 min walk to the center. I stayed for 5 nights to visit other close cities, I recommend for short and long stays.
