Jugendherberge Hamburg Auf dem Stintfang - Hostel

nothing, actually

This place was a disaster from the beginning till the end. Step by step: 1. It's far from the subway, those who has luggage - beware of having to walk uphill 2. staff was not friendly. The receptionist made up wait for 15 min because she had to change shifts. It took her a couple of minutes and then she just left without making any excuse. 3. ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS. Don't believe prices you see on booking.com. Every person who doesn't have a hostel international membership (is that even a thing?) has to pay 3.5 Euro/day. Plus 1 Euro of taxes. We paid 88 Euros for two persons (79 euros was the main price + 7 Euros for temporary membership + 2 Euros taxes). 4. It's a hostel at its worst self. You have to make your bed yourself (they'll give you bed linen at the reception). Towels cost 4 euros/towel. Our twin room was extremely small with just one bank bed. 5. NOISE. We thought a location in the park would provide us with some silence in the night. No way! Our window was located not far from the entrance to the hostel and we had to listen to drunk voices shouting songs in the middle of the night as there was a little area for chilling. I managed to fall asleep around 5 am when the party was over. 6. The window could be opened just partly. It was very hot in Hamburg that day. Imagine, if you open the window you cannot sleep due to all the noise, if you close it you immediately start suffocating. This is probably the worst place I've ever stayed at and I do travel a lot. A piece of advice - avoid it at any cost. There are many nice places around.
