A pretty cool hostel with good facilities!
Really good location, good roommates (although one was a little bit odd, but that’s hosteling for you), good showers, comfy beds and a pretty cool hostel all round tbf!
Only thing was my wooden bed frame, which was fine for my week there, no problem, but it felt a little cheap too.

Convenient, comfortable and very good value for money
Great location, five minutes walk to the train station and to the city centre was a fifteen minutes walk. Good space in the dormitory. Shower and WC accessed directly from the dorm. Extra shower and WC available on the landing. Adequate, if small kitchen with narrow table and highseats with adjoining large dining/lounge area.
My only issue was that the staff were cleaning the floor of the dining/lounge area between 8-9 a.m which is when it was needed for breakfasting.

Excellent hostel in great location
Excellent location, very clean room and bathroom and super quiet considering it's so close to the train station. Very friendly staff and a lot of services, like breakfast, a bar, luggage storage room etc.
The only thing that could be improved was the pillow, as it was really big and mis-shapen, so not the most comfortable, but otherwise no complaints :)

Excellent locatation. When in a dorm it was good that there were other toilets available as well as te 1 ensuite for the room. Good wifi.

Lovely as always
The staff was super nice and helpful! And cheerful as well. I loved the kitchen and the community area
A roommate of mine tried to kick me out of my own bed at 1am but that's not your fault so don't worry about that! Just a funny story

Cozy, clean, good place to stay
I stayed in 6female dorm, the room, bathroom, sheets and everything was very clean. I had some little problems with my phone and the window in the room and the stuff was very helpful. The garden was very cozy and good. Location is also very good, so close to the oldtown and hauptbahnhof. They had kareoke party and it was very fun.
You need to buy towel and there is no hair dryer in the bathrooms. Also the breakfast was very disappointed, no eggs no hot food or something special.

A decent hostel and base in Munich
Great location, spacious dorms and good soundproofing - even though there was a party going on downstairs I couldn’t hear it from the room.
Nothing - I was worried it was going to be a party hostel and that I wouldn’t sleep, but as mentioned above the soundproofing meant that wasn’t an issue.

Good location
The location is very good. You can reach the city center in about 15 minutes. The staff at the reception were very friendly.
It would be much better if the bunk beds had curtains.

Great location city hostel with all you need
Well located, nice big 8 bed dorm with a picnic style table in the middle. We had our own en-suite toilet / shower room, they was a great bat on site and nice relaxing area and kitchen to use
Nothing.....it was all good

Location was good short walk to city centre and train station. Close to shops and places to eat.
Was sharing a females only dorm for 2 nights. Felt it could have been kept a bit cleaner for example floors could have been brushed and washed. But otherwise was good

Perfect location for train/tram/AirPort Express bus; good facilities and public area settings
Front desk staff-Victoria has a warm-hearted service mindset. She can relate to my personal situation and concerns about my emotional feelings, while the unexpected things happened not on purpose. Also, she understands very well how to react exactly like a professional service industry manager does, no matter what happened to the room guest situation. On the contrary, the man worked at the reception on the same shift with Victoria on April 5 Saturday was putting on his poker face toward me. He should’ve been learnt his professionalism with Victoria in his job.
There were some problems with the room door lock as well as the toilet. (But they sent the repair man to fix it up on the next day.)

Easy to find, the bed was basic but fine, people were friendly in the dorm and so were the staff. Central location right by the train station
Didn't have any issues. It's not glamorous, but it does what it says on the tin.

Good to hang out
Great to meet new people, however it really depends on who's in your room and if they're actually considerate or not.

Highly recommend!
Location was great! Common areas are nice and it was pretty social during our stay which we enjoyed. Kitchen was great and has all you need (cook early if you want space it can get pretty crowded 6-8pm!). Staff were super helpful and helped us plan some day trips, great recommendations on the hallway wall too :)

Good short stay in Munich
Clean and comfortable, friendly staff, good kitchen facilities. Shame we didn't get to the bar but there weren't many people around to socialise with so we didn't bother.

Decent for the price, but I think there's better out there
It was a decent hostel, but I stayed in the Wombat hostel in Vienna which was way nicer. The lockers opened with the keycard which was nice and you had a nice light and socket by the bed. The common area was also nice.
The beds were okay, privacy was not quite there and my bed was located near the door (right when it opened) which I thought was a bit of an odd location. The bathroom was also questionable since the doors of the shower did not close well and it felt a bit grungy. The location was okay if you're staying for one night but it being so close to the station it did feel a bit unsafe at times

The extra kitchen! Such a game changer!!

Great location and friendly staff. Winter garden is very cozy and great place to lounge
The bedroom was very small and no toiletries in the bathroom. The bed was very thin and uncomfortable to sleep in

Overall, my stay at this hostel was good. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city. I stayed in a six bed female dorm, which was comfortable and spacious enough. The hostel has a lively atmosphere, with a bar on the ground floor, which adds to the social vibe. For the price, it offers good value, and I had a pleasant experience.

Everything was perfect. I liked all the facilities: the relaxed and helpful staff, the bathroom, the interior of the female room, the lockers in the room, the cleanliness everywhere, the fresh air, the small coin lockers for everyone downstairs, the storage room, the atmosphere, the kitchen, the open space... And, they checked me in earlier and didn't kick me out at 10:00, thanks a lot! (That's during the low season in March)
Well, you can't choose your roommates. One of them was too loud so I didn't sleep enough... And, there are some construction sites around which start moving early in the morning. But our window was open. And it wasn't extremely loud. But better bring some earplugs

Staff was super friendly, supportive and helpful. I arrived late, needed to store luggage, and then booked a second night on the spot because of issues with trains - all the while they were super nice and made the situation more bearable. Location is of course also fantastic if you are traveling by train, and last but not least I want to mention that it is a super nice building and everything was clean and welcoming. But yeah, the staff was 12/10!

Great location!
Great location, solid security.
I have got information about breakfast "The breakfast needs to be bought via the link in your emails for the 5% to apply. But you can also buy it on the day for the regular 9,50€." There was no link in my emails so I asked staff several times but I haven't got any response. But that's fine as there's a great kitchen to prepare meal.

Loved the winter garden.
The bar is right next to the winter garden which makes music slightly annoying for those looking for a quiet time.

I loved that it was close to the train station, but the thing I loved the most was that they have extra bathrooms and showers so you don't have to wait on others or if you're an early bird like me, you can get ready without having to worry about waking anyone up.

Great hostel with nice facilities in a good location to the city centre.
The location was incredibly close to the train station, and the kitchen was great. We had a shower and toilet in our room (4 share female) which was nice. There’s a bar with a pool table and an area for general relaxing/chilling.
Not much to not like a this property, it was all great.

Good stay with a budget yet perfect location.
The location is perfect,accessible to the main attractions, to the central train station & bus station. The hot shower is good & room is warm as the weather outside is too cold for now. Only the floor in the room is dirty but is due to the dorm mate who wear the shoe walking around. Hair dryer is provided with no charge,this is helpful. The common area is nice & cosy.
Nothing except for the outside of property there is too many construction on going so is a bit disturbing.

A good stay but could better, the staff were lovely!
Nice kitchen, close to the station, friendly staff
It felt fairly old and dingy. It was not as up to date as other wombat hostels. The rooms were not particularly comfortable.

If you are a woman don’t choose mix rooms.
The place was amazing. Clean. Modern. A few steps away from the main station.
With the property everything was fine. I chose a mix 8- room. My bunk bed neighbor was terrible. He left the area smelling like Indian seasoning but rotten. Was using his laptop all night and fell asleep while the laptop still on and snored the whole time really loud. He woke up like 2-3 am and was moving around and god knows what else making the bunk bed make a crack sound every couple of minutes until I checked in my phone that it was 4am. Then I made a strong sound and he was then still for a while. Until 6-7 am that he started using his laptop and moving again. Worse neighbor ever. The only reason I slept bad in that good place. He polluted the air the whole night and made impossible to sleep quite (and I had ear plugs) with the wood bunk bed cracking sound.

Nice staff and extra bathrooms.
The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the girl on the reception, that I forgot the name. The good part was the laundry service, very easy to use and the extra bathrooms with showers, outside of the rooms.
Beds could have curtains, for more privacy.

A bit under delivered, was expecting a bit more.
The lication was amzing, everything is in a walk able distance. It's near the station so you can take any direction you want. The was good, very welcoming and friendly. One of the rooms was okay in size, the second one was good size.
Straring from linen, it's like a self service situation. You need to put on and take out your linens yourself. Also linen was either quite used up or not very clean, I could not determine that. There were no towels in the room, you could rent it in the reception, but again, you had to bring them back to the reception yourself to get the new one. That was weird. The room itself was okay, it was okay size, okay clean etc. The bathroom was tiny, we could bearly fit in the shower. Also it was completely empty, other then toilet paper, there was no towel, no shampoo, no hairdryer, nothing. The bunk beds were not very comfortable but it was okay as wel.
