It is a good base for exploring historical sights, industrial charm, art and culture, bars, restaurants, creative shops, theatres, cinemas, urban gardens, second-hand shops and much more.

In a relaxed atmosphere there is plenty of space for hanging out with other travellers and locals in the in-house bar, in the beer garden or in the hostel living area.

The staff was really nice, everything was clean and there was a lot of privacy considering it’s a hostel, there beds were big and comfortable with curtains you could close all the way, an outlet and light, the bathrooms with shower were also pretty big and well maintained, I would definitely book again

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    It is a chique hostel in the city centre. I stayed in a single room with it's own bathroom. It's cheaper than hotel rooms in in a similar location. The kitchen facilities that were well taken care off are a huge plus. There isn't any breakfast in the hotel, but there are plenty of cafés, bakeries and supermarkets close by.

    Wow! This place was amazing! I travel a lot but this must be one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. Great location in the middle of Leipzig and 9 mins walk from main train station. Supermarkets aren’t too far away. Very very luxe looking furnishings. Extremely clean. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Kitchen was awesome! Lounge area was super comfortable with good wifi. I have nothing but praise!!! Also it was VERY good value for money.
