A New Gem in Duisburg I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emmas Hostels Duisburg, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. This new hostel is a true hotspot, boasting a prime, triple-A location that's just an 8-minute walk from Duisburg Hauptbahnhof and right in the city center. A high-quality supermarket is literally around the corner, and a variety of restaurants are within easy walking distance.The hostel itself is a perfect blend of old and new. The rooms are incredibly clean and spacious, with a modern, post-modern interior design that still respects the classic character of the building. The attention to detail is evident, from the flawless baseboards and walls to the overall layout. The Wi-Fi is fast and stable, which is a huge plus. I also slept really well in the comfortable A quality bed. The bathrooms are practical, and the showers are great. I also appreciated the well-equipped communal kitchen on each floor, which includes a washing machine, a large, cold-storage fridge, and all the necessary cooking utensils, plates, and cutlery.What truly makes this place special, however, is the staff. The charming cleaning woman I met was a superwoman(incredibly nice and hard-working). The manager, Baran, is a standout. He is extremely social, intelligent, and skilled, and he makes every guest feel completely taken care of. He's very approachable, can discuss anything with you in multiple languages (including excellent German and English), and goes out of his way to fulfill your wishes. He's also very responsive on the app. The man I spoke to on the phone when I called with questions was also very kind and quick to assist.I highly recommend booking a stay at Emmas Hostels if you're ever in the lovely city of Duisburg. It's a wonderful place with a great atmosphere and even better people.

All hostels in Gelsenkirchen

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.
