Positives - cheap, 20 min walk from station - though if you're leaving during the night, be aware make a wrong turn and you'll walk through the red light district where gangs of males loiter!! Negatives - NOT a backpacker hostel, be warned, just a hostel - shouldn't really be on travel sites. No secure place to store your stuff - at least not large enough for backpack/suitcase. People running around the building in the middle of the night. I'd pre-booked a mix dorm having used these in Poland, Austria etc (diff company) - got to the dorm a middle aged man, got up from his bunk and started yelling at me NO WOMEN!! til I left the room (cos you know we plant eggs in men's brains whilst they sleep!!) the next room I was put in - a female dorm for 6, had one occupant only (even though this very website said all female dorms were booked) she'd been there for a while cos all her stuff was everywhere and it was like sleeping on a mate's couch. 12 floors with 2 dodgy lifts - I gave up and went back to the station at 3am, felt safer (hence finding out about the red light district!. You'll see ads in Germany trying to promote this chain as somewhere to stay - DO NOT USE!!

It’s a very average hostel…beds are uncomfortable, it could be cleaner. My door to the bathroom was chipped and marks all over the walls. Very dusty, random hairs on my towels. The whole area around Berliner tor and the hostel is a bit dingy, lots of homeless lying in the street all day. Doesn’t feel safe.

Unacceptable dormitory set up
I stayed on other a&o hostels without any problem. At a&o Hamburg city I faced a big issue. They have designed a double bed with 2 twins mattresses. It's terrible to sleep with a stranger in a distance less than 20cm. It's unacceptable to have this kind of bed because it violates privacy,hygiene and personal space. Everyone in a dormitory should have its own bed. Not sleeping in a double bed with a stranger.

The room that was given to us is facing the main street, thus , traffic noise is inevitable. I was hoping the room is at least soundproof but it isn’t. Everything is basic. Breakfast is meh.

It's okay
I don't personally stay in many hotels, however for the money paid, this was okay at best. Noise Insulation isn't great, you can hear what is happening outside of your room rather easily and it did disturb us a few times. Bed Comfort wasn't fantastic, the mattresses are simple foam with a blue sheet over them, which you stick to if the weather is mildly warm. The actual pillow and blanket was rather disappointing. I did sustain some neck pain due to the very loose pillows. Normal beds that weren't bunks, were better. Same mattress, however, which especially did not help the heat that just swept over Hamburg that week. For washing facilities, they're okay, however the shower felt rather unclean with a large amount of brown stains on the wall. The cubicle was also very cramped with very little room. Room Service did come by each day and provide new towels however, which was nice. The room was adequately equipped with a table, chairs, and a TV, which comes in useful should you have something to plug in and watch, however with the room having capacity for 6 people, we were only provided 2 towels initially, and had to retrieve more from the reception desk. Windows only hinge open slightly, which can be a pain if you want a breeze to come through. All in all, it's okay if you're not too fussy. If you're travelling alone or with one other, you'll be happy enough with what's provided, if you're coming in late and leaving early in the morning, and just need a quick stayover.

Ask yourself if you stay with kids
Hair everywhere, not enough towels. Even I booked for 4, linens for kids’ beds were not put on the beds. Totally disaster for me.
