Their Description

The Hostelz.com Review

Hotel Schanzenstern is a hotel and hostel. It's located very close to Sternschanze S/U-bahn station, which is only a few stops from Hamburg's main intercity railway station. It is run by an eco-friendly cooperative who tend to stick to their rules obediently. Early check in means leaving bags in the office until the afternoon, but you get a key to several doors allowing you entry after hours (for €10 deposit).

Breakfast is available for an extra €6 in the adjoining café. The food is ok, but there is a huge selection of nice breakfast/food places in the neighbourhood. The cafe also becomes a bar in the evening, specialising in organic food (including organic beers).

The rooms are small with an en-suite bathroom, which is a nice plus. And unlike many hostels, the beds aren't bunk beds. There is plenty of space, although given its location, it is more of a party hostel with people coming back from clubs late into the morning.

The showers have decent water pressure and the temperature is warm - and being ensuite means avoiding the early morning crush in the showers down the corridor.

Wonderful stay

This is a well located hostel at a walking distance from Hamburg night district; surrounded by bars of several kinds (music bars; Italian, German, Turkish restaurants); wonderful beds; comfortable, four-bed rooms (not bunk beds); en-suite bathroom; delicious ecological restaurant; nice reception personnel.

what a nice place: spacious, clean, with a great and cosy restaurant and a beer garden. I slept wonderful after an exhausting flight into hamburg and I will definitely be back to the schanzenstern. oh -- alone the breakfast would be a reason for coming back!

I stayed here for 4 nights and thought this place is absolutely fantastic. The area it's in (Sternshanze) is bustling with so many unusual bars, shops, and eating places, and has so much character. The staff were, like most German people, very friendly - could not help me enough. It is two stops on the S-Bahn into the centre of Hamburg, but public transport is very efficient and trains leave every 5 or so minutes, you literally hop on then hop off. The rooms in the hostel were huge, comfortable, warm and clean. Could not ask for a better hostel, and Hamburg is a wonderful city. Definitely recommended, I loved it!

We were there for one night. It has very friendly staff, nice rooms, it's very clean, has a good breakfast, it's near a lot of nice restaurants and pubs, and it's very cheap. We liked it!

I stayed here just one night, but I really liked it! The place is not really safe at night, but the hostel has great rooms and a nice staff.
