Jugendherberge Duisburg Sportpark Hostel

Location is a bit niche, as is often the case with DJH hostels -not really convenient for anything except the big stadium-like affair next door. Otherwise it's excellent. There is an in-house sauna which, during a major heatwave, I regretted having to skip. I would have liked a more health-conscious breakfast. Still, a solid, cost-effective place to sleep -I hope I may have the chance to come back in winter.

Myself and two friends stayed in this hostel which was next to the sports complex while on a cycle trip following the Rhine Route Velo 15. The hostel is modern, clean, has a bar and does a good breakfast but not evening meals. Also has secure bike storage. We had bedded room for the three of us along with breakfast with towels for 95.70E.

If the rooms would have TV too, then it could be a 3* hotel straight away. I hardly recognised that I was staying at a hostel: brand new, clean, in a quite part of the city, 15 min. walking distance from S1 station. Very friendly staff. Breakfast rather simple but still with everything what would you expect for continental breakfast.
