The hostel is much more quiet and private than one might anticipate, making it a true gem to those of us seeking some thinking time and quiet nights. Cons that were on me as it was my first time is the area was 20 minutes by train to anywhere I wanted to be but in order to have as much space and a sweet little kitchen and living space I would definitely say it was worth it. I didn’t really get a chance to explore the area - bought some groceries from about 5 minutes away and Franz-Neumann-Platz across the street and over - really nice convenience if you don’t mind the commute!
