Bed'nBudget City-Hostel

This hostel has a nice atmosphere and is close to the city centre. The Hauptbahnhof is perhaps only a 10 minute walk, there is an Edeka within 5 minutes and several bars and restaurants nearby. The staff were pleasant, the room was fine and the price was good for what it is. The hostel bar didn't have much ambience and was expensive, but the barstaff were friendly. On the downside, the boy's bathroom on my floor was out of order so I had to go down a floor or two each time to use the toilet/shower. The bathrooms were both quite smelly and the shower cubicles all needed a good scrub. The only thing that was beneficial about them being a bit grimy is that this made them translucent rather than completely transparent. There's also no where to dry yourself apart from in the bathroom, right in front of the door. The lack of a communal kitchen was also quite annoying, but I knew this when booking. I would stay again as the price and the location were both great.

Incredibly clean, tidy, with a mix of dorms and private rooms. Located close to the central pedestrian streets of Hannover. In our dorm room of 6-beds we woke at 1am to see a roommate leaning over our bags in the corner. When the light turned on we couldn't figure out if he was trying to steal something or peeing on them. Either way, we got the staff involved who called the police. The man had no luggage or bags other than the clothes he was wearing and was high or drunk. Police forcibly escorted the man away but there was a lot of waiting around in the lobby while staff sorted things out. Not the hostels fault, of course, but staff assisted quickly.

This hostel has a good central location, easy to walk to from Hannover Central Station. Checking in was easy as the staff both spoke English. Our room was towards the back of the hostel, but there was quite a bit of noise during the night just from doors opening and closing – which should be something that the hostel sort out, as it just need some sort of soft closing on the doors to prevent the banging. We had to make our own beds, which is common in hostels, so wasn’t a problem. Towels and soap were provided and we had an ensuite room. There was an option to pay extra for breakfast, but we choose to by some food instead, which I think worked out cheaper. There was a bar in the reception, although that closed early, with other bars over the street open later. I’d stay here again, the price was ok for a hostel and we got what we would expect from this level of accommodation.
