We lost a travel adapter and a cranberry vitamin c. What a pity.

Location. Just a few hundred meters from the Main train station.
Nothing specific. Being a hostel with 8 sharing room, there is bound to be some disturbance.

Great location for sightseeing in Munich
It was very close to Munich station. Our bathroom was inside the room.
There’s no curtain for each bed.

Staff was very friendly and responsive. Bathroom was ok. I like the living space at ground floor and a locker with room card detect was awesome because i do not need to use my own lock.
I was aware to put on and off the bed sheet and everything my own but when it comes to the moment, just thinking it would be great if it can be done by hostel as I used up all my stamina to travel all day and just wish to lay on a bed that was ready. My shared room is facing the main street, i cant stand the noise coming from the street but the window of the room have to be open to ensure the air circulate, so much conflict.

There is a seating area in the lobby with charging sockets, there is a kitchen and a bar, a young people's atmosphere. The bed is very comfortable, the place is clean. The room was well lit
The price is a bit high for the value, but that's probably because of Oktoberfest. I didn't get a towel on time. There was no soap in the shower, only by the sink outside the shower doors. People were snoring in the room... They insisted that I wear a bracelet that proves I'm a hotel guest, that's how it is during the festival, they said

The Staff are Superb
The staff are amazingly proficient and on-the-ball. Great group!
Nothing. It is the future, esp. when you get your new ZOB next door.

Comfy and funky
Great facilities including kitchen. Lovely staff who reserved me a bottom bunk as I was coming in after midnight due to travel connections. Great location near train station and groceries.
Not to do with the building, but a noisy room mate who rattled plastic bags for over an hour in the morning before everyone got up.

Loved the shared space, the fact that you can leave your leftover food for others is very sweet and sustainable. Free lockers are a big plus. Very close to metro, train station and old city

The convenient location is a reason I'd gladly stay again.
Location is central and very near to Main train station, easy to commute S-Bahn,U-bahn, trams .I walked almost everywhere in the city for sightseeing except to places that is further away, i need to get a day ticket that allows me to use the bus, trams, metro, train etc.. I was in a 6 per female dorm..Spacious enough room to have your bags/ luggage with you. Have charging point in each bed. Alot of Arabic/ African restaurants/ shops nearby.
No bed curtain for privacy. Room is hot in August with only one fan! Window can be slightly open with a gap, not enough air to cool down the room.If open fully, you get noise from outside. Bed mattress could be firmer but i did sleep ok.

The room had a good size, it was comfortable. The locker with incorporated key was a good feature. The kitchen had free tea, and the common space is nice. They have a place to leave the luggage after the check out, that was nice.
The kitchen is open from 7.30am to 22h. If you want to get a glass of water or have a tea outside those hours, you need to buy, that's not good. The area around the main station is a bit shady but it was ok. I don't know if I'd have felt secure if I was out until late at night being a woman alone.

Comfortable stay
The bathroom was in the room with 6 women so it was convenient. The common area was pretty. There is a bar onsite which is convenient, though I didn't have a chance to go. Good location!
Nothing though I was only there for one quick night (arrived late, left early).

A really, really nice place! It was my first time staying at a hostel, so I was a bit nervous, and everything went smoothly. I did my check in at 12pm, and although they didn't have my room ready yet (which was expected, as check-in is at 2pm), they gave me access to the storage room and a key to go to the toilet! I stayed in a female-only room and the room was spacious, which a big table and two fans. You even get a key to a locker! The beds were really comfortable and they even had a night light! I was lucky enough that everyone in my room was really respectful, so I did not have any problems with noise. The common spaces were really nice (I didn't have time to check them out, but they look like a good spot to meet people) and the personal was top-notch! Special shutout to the lady who speaks Spanish (No pensé en preguntarte el nombre!) who was incredibly nice and professional. The location couldn't have been better, as it's right in front of the main train station, but I can understand why some people may find it unsafe.
The only thing that I think can be fixed is by adding curtains to the bed: in my room we all had to improvise with either towels or clothes. That is everything that can be fixed!

Great value for money
Everything was quite good. I love the attitude of the staff that are ready to help, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the roommates were great too
The location was convenient as it's close to the main station, but it did not feel completely safe in the evening because of unfriendly-looking people on the streets. It is better to return to the hostel a bit earlier

It is a good, well run, clean hostel.
It's very close to the train station, which is its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The people on the streets close to the hostel are pretty rough. Luckily, the clientele seemed pretty good.

The hostel is located right outside the main station and very close to the city centre, which was a plus, because I only stayed in Munich for a day. The shared areas were well equipped and clean. Overall, it was a great experience!

Excellent location, just outside the train station where is also a 24h market inside. The hostel is not very far away from the marienplatz.
The weather was very hot during my stay and there was no air-conditioning, there was just a fan in the room, so we had the windows open but there was a lil bit of noise coming from the outside.
15 August 2025
Fab overall, we would stay again but in the winter 😂
Staff very helpful, good sized family room, great laundry, good fun bar. Great central location.
It was immensely hot, very small window opening, one fan, noisy at night. This is not the fault of the hostel! It is a hostel with very reasonable rates and lots of happy young people!

Good, clean, and friendly stay, but probably perfect for winters
Location is amazing and so close to the hauptbahnhof! Rooms were super clean (tried the 6-bed room). Didn't try the breakfast there but it's around 9 euros per person. Staff was friendly if I take an average. I liked the common area which had AC but it closes at 11pm (maybe keep it open for longer)
Even the location is amazing, sometimes it's too loud at night so you have to close the windows while going to bed. But that's the dilemma because if you close the windows, the room gets so hot (August at least) that it's unbearable. I would appreciate if they upgrade to have an AC set up because the loudness may not be under hostel's control.

Okay
Lobby WiFi wasn't always reliable (visible but couldn't connect, or, would drop) | guest kitchen doesn't open until 7:30am, leads to late start if you need to get out and moving | no smoking allowed, but lobby choked with cigarette smoking wafting in from sidewalk | it was clean, but hallways had an unpleasant smell, perhaps due to poor ventilation |

Close to central station and old town.
No air conditioning in the rooms so was too hot to sleep. Not the best in a summer heatwave.

Safe and close to the old town.
Staff attitude was disappointing at times. This could just be a German thing, not just this location. But because of this I went next door to the other hostel’s bar and was treated better.

A well-located hostel in Munich
The hostel is in a good location near the main railway station in Munich. It has a spacious lounge area, a sociable bar and some useful suggestions for places to see around the city and in Bavaria. The staff are generally helpful.
Breakfast was a bit chaotic, with tickets needing to be bought at reception, then taken to the breakfast room. The coffee machine didn't work until repaired and there was no milk for cereal, which only comes in tiny glass jars, nor was there any fruit juice. I also had problems with malfunctioning keycards. Note that prices vary with the time of year.

Great location and kind staff
Everything is well organized, the location is amazing as you can get to the central station by walking (3min) so location is amazing. The rooms have their own bathroom and you have extra showers and toilets in other floors (just in case). Everything was clean and well organized. The luggage storage is very useful and the storage space in each room is great. Perfect for a backpack and a carry on. Everyone was super kind and helpful.
It would be great to have AC in the bedroom during summer as it gets pretty hot. It can be pretty noisy if you are in a bedroom close to the street,wear ear plugs.
