Super hotel for a low price! Central, close to the s-bane, helpful staff. Not much in the area, but that didn’t matter since it was easy to get to public transport.
Very well-suited for families with not too small children. Not super fancy, but everything you need when visiting Hamburg. Super friendly and accommodating staff.
Good value for money, spacious room, fairly quiet. Bed was comfortable enough for a couple of nights.

The room was ok and clean. The rest of the building was a little run down. Small and slow elevator, felt dirty. The breakfast was ok and the breakfast area looked clean.
Our stay at a&o hostel was excellent. It would be good if a kitchen with facilities was available so you can prepare your own meals and dinner available. This is based on our experience at a&o Hostel in Sydhaven, Coppenhagen.
