This is truly a wonderful find in scenic Lohbrügge on the outskirts of Hamburg. The staff were as welcoming as could possibly be, particularly Krystyna and Sebastian, the concierge, Edyta, was also wonderful. It's easy and quick to get to the city center from here, the bus stop is right around the corner, just 5 min. to the subway. Lovely maritime themed hostel, cozy and with a kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals. So happy I took a chance on this place a little off the beaten track, sometimes risks pay off !

I liked everything about the hostel. It was very good and professionally organized. The rooms were not overcrowded, and I did not have to wait for the bathroom (considering the fact that it is shared between 2 rooms with a capacity of 6-8 people each). They give you a card that you use to enter 1) the building, 2) the hall where the rooms are, and 3) the room itself (so pay attention not to lose that card). The hostel also has a very big kitchen in the basement which is full of kitchen stuff. There are papers to write down your name so you can mark your food and ingredients. There is a Lidl Discount Store within a 15-minute walk where you can buy very affordable produce and everything you need. The beds, pillows, bedding, and covers were all new, and I slept really comfortably. I also loved the neighborhood, the location was good, just 20 minutes away from the popular party zone by foot and 5 minutes away from a bus stop that takes you directly to the city center.

I stayed here for 4 days and the guy who was working at the reception was extremely friendly and helpful. His name was Dren, he assisted me with all me requests very professionally and made my stay as good as possible. I couldn’t thank him personally at the end of my stay so I want to thank him for his assistance by leaving a good review. Thanks to the employees like him I will chose A&O Hostels for my next vacations. Good service, good facilities and totally would recommend this place :)

It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.
