This is a hostel - so adjust your expectations. But overall comfortable and safe great location close to train station. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were clean. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place to spend the night this does the job.

First room was dirty. As a matter of practice they do not make the bunk beds between stays. A slight issue if traveling with 3 year old twins. Parking is extremely limited but there is an parking lot accross the street. No where to unload bags however.

The hotel is not a hotel, was more hostel, to many people always around smoking weed so even I paid for a week I booked in order hotel near by. So if you are a millennial or a zoomer this is your place. But for me was a really wrong decision

It's a cheap hostel and it should be taken into consideration while booking. The building itself is quite old but the refurbishment was done on the cheap. The overall cleanness is poor. The room was very hot and no fan or air-conditioning ( you can rent a fan at the reception). The bathroom is microscopic. There was construction work going on literally outside our room. It's also a noisy street with cars and trams going into late at night.

Preis/ Leistung is ok... angenehmer erster Eindruck im Foyer, nette Mitarbeiter... ausreichendes Buffetangebot zum Frühstück... was nicht so ganz vorteilhaft war, ist die etwas beengte Dusche, wäre ebenerdig ohne Waschbecken vielleicht günstiger...

Disliked: Room comfort

Man får hvad man betaler for

Det var billigt. Morgenmaden var okay, men begrænset. Værelset var gammelt, og vi skulle selv rede børnenes senge, hvilket ikke var optimalt, da vi ankom sent med en lille, der allerede sov. Atmosfæren var meget ungdommelig og lagt op til fest, men der boede mange børnefamilier. Vinduet virkede utæt og man kunne høre alt fra gaden. Væggen var beskidt, der var endda et tydeligt håndaftryk. Sengene var ikke særligt komfortable, og gardinet var ikke optimalt, så der kom meget lys ind. Værelset lugtede også lidt indelukket.. Men ja, det var billigt.

Wir wurden sehr freundlich an der Rezeption empfangen. Die Erklärung zum Parkplatz, den ich vorher reserviert habe, lief bestens. Das Auto stand direkt vor unserem Fenster im Hinterhof. Also keine langen Wege für Koffer tragen. Die Gebühren für 24h parken sind für die Innenstadt Leipzig sehr günstig. Die Zimmer sind sehr ordentlich und sauber. Zum Frühstück kann ich leider nichts sagen, da wir im nahe gelegenen Bahnhof genügend Frühstückmöglichkeiten vorfanden. Für einen kurzen Stadt-Trip fanden wir alles perfekt.

Leider waren wir nicht zufrieden, ja auf ein Hostel waren wir eingestellt, aber die Sauberkeit, das wenige Obst zum Frühstück, der Lärm und auch die defekten Dinge wurden nicht abgestellt. Ich hatte den Eindruck das das Personal auch nicht so recht Lust hatte auf die Gäste und ihre Arbeit. Kann sein das es viel zu tun gibt aber in der Tourismusbranche zählt auch die Freundlichkeit, die macht viele wett.....
