Hamburg, Germany

I think that breakfast would be included and that it shouldn't be an additional cost for the sheets.

Almost like a hotel, comfortable beds, nice bathroom and shower facilities in my 6-beds room. Definitely clean, you get clean sheets and towels upon arrival. nice lobby downstairs free wifi and computers, bar, etc. Only bad remark is about the staff: you must pay upon arrival which I find unusual, and I was not notified about this before I arrived. I arrived around 1 am, didn't have Euros on me and I wasn't notified that I had to pay upon arrival. I had Danish currency on me, amounting to more than what I had to pay for the hostel, I suggested I could give that as a deposit until early in the morning, or my 1500 Euro Macbook Pro, I had already paid the deposit so my clean intentions were obvious. The receptionist didn't even look me in the eyes, just said: mmmthnaaa. At least one would expect that someone will look you in the eyes when basically telling you that you have to sleep in the streets tonight. Luckily, my credit card worked for the first time that day, so I was able to pay. Later on, on other occasions, everytime I asked for something, the guy didn't even look me in the eyes and he was even gone before I could say thank you.

It was cheap, but the location was not so good. It was clean though but no lifts.

This isn't a hostel. It is a seedy hotel. The place is dirty and badly designed -you have to walk for miles to get around the ridiculous corridor system and go up and down staircases. Sure it is cheap and in the middle of the red light district. But don't expect anything clean, any of the benefits that come with a hostel (tours, kitchen, an area to hang out and meet people), or generally a nice place to stay.
