This centrally located hostel in Dortmund is 800 m away from the Dortmund Main Station. It is open 24/7 and offers free WiFi access.

The hostel offers continental breakfast and guests can also book a lunch and dinner buffet.

Everything is perfectly neat, clean and tidy. Very good service & an awesome delicious breakfast. I booked a double room with shared bathroom by mistake instead of a double room with private shower. However the facilities did not disappoint me. The rooms are exactly as in the photos. Very close to Christmas market and they have a parking space for 8€ per day.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It’s a great location only two stops on the U-Bahn. Great value for money and I have stayed in hotels that charge a lot more and aren’t half as nice. Facilities are good and the staff are friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here before and will stay again

    Great location when arriving by train. My room was clean and more spacious than expected for a budget hotel. I was able to book for a very good price at a weekday (from other reviews it seems like during peak seasons the price is much higher). There is 24/7 reception and the door can only be entered by a code at night (which made it feel more safe to me). I had a window facing the street; despite having read a lot about noise from other reviews, I had a very calm night and good sleep.

    Really in the centre of Dortmund, but very quiet. Stayed in a single room. More like a (simple) hotel than a youth hostel,

    Everything was new, clean, modern. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great location for the Christmas markets/centre of town. On-site/underground parking was clean, safe, well-lit. Easy to reach by car or train.
