Even the check-in hour is 15, I was allowed to do it earlier, at 12, getting a message with lobby code and instruction how to get the keys. The hostel is well maintained, with clean showers and toilets. Plenty of electricity sockets in the room or next to the bed.

The bed was not very comfortable. The lockers are too small, too fragile and very noisy when you open/close the door. If someone is leaving early in the morning, will wake-up everybody in the room. The fridge in the lobby seems too small for the number of guests but for me, staying just two nights, was ok (only cooling one beer).

Great, clean and tidy hostel. Big rooms with big lockers, comfortable beds, huge bathrooms. Nice equipped kitchen with all that you need to cook, so clean also. Good location in downtown, not so far to the train station, yo can just take a bus from Dachauplatz to safe some time (a lot of frequency with those busses). Standard facilities for this price.

A bit missunderstanding about my suitcase 'cause the receptionist didn't know where It was. It looks like her co worker safed it in one closet without telling her or she didn't know that the suitcases can be safe there. Perhaps a bit more of comunication would be nice to avoid a heart attack to the guests😅

The room was quite nice with comfy beds, good storage lockers with provided keys, plenty of electrical outlets and storage. Very clean and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities easily accessed through a hall at the back of the room. The location is a little distance from the old town but near enough on foot and in a quiet area.

The staff were not very friendly, and the 3pm check-in time is absolutely strict - if you arrive before 3pm you will not be able to check in but also cannot enter the lobby or facilities at all. So, unlike most hostels I have been to that allow you to begin the check-in process, store luggage, use the toilets, etc. earlier in the day, here you are stuck standing outside until someone comes to open the door at 3pm. It felt fairly uninviting.

The hostel is in the most perfect location, right in the heart of Old Town and next to so many bars and shops (though it was never noisy at night). The staff are very friendly and helpful, and everything works very well. The rooms are spacious and the showers are really great. Very well equipped and big kitchen, and enough space to socialise but also get some work done. The hostel is nice and quiet and in a safe location. There is a laundromat 1 minute away and a lovely local pub 3 mins away! I will always come back here if I visit Regensburg again.

I had the top bunk bed, and every time you climb up it shakes the entire bed (including the poor sleeping person below me).

This family room is a great stay for cyclists - the hostel has an inner courtyard with rack to secure bikes overnight. We're elderly and have never stayed in hostels, but this family room with bathroom and kitchen was a private unit with our own entrance. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful, the unit large, the kitchen well appointed, the wifi good , the bed comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The hostel is well located - it is one block from all the cruise ships on the Danube and two blocks from the altstadt. We would certainly stay again.

It was all great.

Great location, Walking distance to the main station and everything around Regensburg. We had new years eve at the apartment with our 6 month old daughter and everything was super handy. We could go out and enjoy the fireworks for New Year's can come back right in when the baby needed to get in. I had expected a lot less given New Year's Eve and the price, but the room was very good!

Not the fault of the owners but on New Years morning, the fire alarm went off shortly before 8. Some drunken person decided it was a good idea to smash the general evacuation alarm. The alarm went off for over one hour before the fire brigade arrived. Fire brigade could not shut off the alarm and they left. There was no one contactable from the Hotel staff so the alarm kept going until someone arrived in the office

The location is excellent, the room was comfy and the bathrooms clean and organized, there were curtains and power outlets in the bunk beds so you could have some privacy and charge your phone in peace. Staff very friendly and they hold your pack for you after check out until you leave the city. There was a table in the room good for working or eating. There was also a kitchen in the reception area but I didn't use it.

It would be nice to add an individual light or lamp for each bunk bed. I knew it was a small hostel, but it would be great if there was a 24h reception to make it easier on travellers with crazy schedules.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, providing much-needed rest after a long day. The tranquil environment was perfect for unwinding, and I appreciated having access to a fridge and stove, in the reception, throughout the day. Considering the amenities and overall experience, the cost was certainly reasonable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable and budget-friendly accommodation option.

One aspect that concerned me during my stay was the lack of security measures. The gate remained open throughout the night, which made me feel uneasy about the safety of the premises. Additionally, the door was not properly locked, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access. This raised concerns about the possibility of strangers entering and staying unnoticed. Another issue was the lack of guidance upon arrival. While I eventually figured out the facilities on my own, it would have been helpful to have someone accompany me initially. Lastly, the security of personal belongings stored in the fridge was questionable, as anyone with access to the reception code could potentially gain entry. These factors collectively impacted my overall sense of safety and security during my stay.

Good location, but would not walk in the area after dark. Surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops. Good kitchen and facilities. Good room layout. Nice locker sizes. Room & bathrrom areas were very clean. Check in and out was smooth. Comfortable bed.

While the pictures look really neat, this place has become cluttered over time. There were papers with notifications stuck to the walls and the doors almost everywhere, but they weren't laminated and look really messy.

So clean that you could eat from the floor, fresh nice smelling beddings and covers.

The lower bunk bed doesn’t has enough distance to the upper one for a person like me ( 1.65 m ) to sit upright. I woke in the night suddenly because of a muscle cramp in the lower leg up and wasn’t immediately aware where I am, I tried to get quick out of the bed to stand on the leg and while automatically sitting up to get out I hit my head so hard that there is still a swollen spot, days after. This is dangerous.
