Townside Hostel Bremen in Bremen … great hostel! They opened recently and everything is clean and brand IKEA new. Everywhere there are little notes on the wall explaining nice things to view in the city, in case the friendly staff didn't tell you already. The kitchen equipment is really impressive, all you need to cook for yourself or for ten friends. Everything just absolutely fine!
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … Hey, this hostel is really great. It is right in the city center and it's friendly, clean and has a relaxed, quiet atmosphere. And yes, there are curtains. The best things are the four private bathrooms that can be had for a small fee. A real bathtub — it was bliss!
Townside Hostel Bremen in Bremen … Me and three my friends stayed here for two nights in September 2007. We had a really clean and pleasant room on the third floor. Our room had its own shower, the toilet, and the balcony was shared with another room. Very friendly staff, very good breakfast, everything was nice and clean. The city center was approximately in twenty-minute walk. Good surroundings, many shops and places to eat. We really enjoyed staying here.
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … This hostel was fantastic! It was super-clean, quiet, and friendly. I was only here one night, and wish I had stayed longer! The historical city center is quaint, and worth a stop-over!
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … nice hostel, good atmosphere, clean place, ideally situated, great people (guests and staff). something strange did I see -- a guy does not want to leave, does not want to pay for his staying on, threatens them with giving bad reports, and warning people off this hostel, made me feel ashamed of being Australian.
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … I've been there shortly after its opening -- the whole hostel seemed almost unnaturally clean and spotless. The staff is helpful, the rooms are spacious and so are the communal areas (well equipped). The only downside I remember is that the bathroom had a form of a room with showers sticking out of the wall with nothing in between them -- rather distressing. There was about ten people in the hostel apart from us, so it seemed rather empty, though I'm sure it gets more lively in the summer. It's very close to the train station, some five hundred meters from the Market Square -- good for seeing both Bremen and the region. I visit Bremen quite often and will certainly stay there again -- it's large enough to have an almost hotel-like standard of privacy if one wishes so and friendly enough to allow to meet some new people easily.
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … This is still one of the best hostels I know. And they even improved a lot. There are new shower rooms on the upper floors, private ones. And the location is ideal, a short walk from the station, directly in the city center, and no traffic noise. Staff are friendly and helpful, met loads of interesting people. I will return.
Townside Hostel Bremen in Bremen … This hostel is amazing. Everything is brand new (they told me the hostel opened a year ago), clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I stayed there for one night in a single room on the top floor in May 2008 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a hostel in Bremen.
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … This is a first-rate hostel. Friendly owners, central location, extensive facilities and social without being too much of a "party hostel." Definitely give it a go.
Pros
— Clean, lots of windows, spacious rooms, NO bunk beds!
— Facilities include comfy lounge with cable TV, well-equipped kitchen, library, heaps of tourist information, reasonably cheap laundry.
— Wonderful staff who are friendly, helpful and humorous. They give everybody a full tour on check in, which is a nice touch.
— Very central location a few minutes from the main station, but a bit hard to find.
Cons
— The reason I won't give it five stars: showers are communal which I absolutely hate. It's quite a small hostel, however, so I had no trouble finding a time to get the shower to myself!
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … Very clean and tidy hostel — clinically German some might say. Having said that, we had an enjoyable time here and used the kitchen and common areas extensively. Staff were more than obliging.
GastHaus Bremer Backpacker Hostel in Bremen … Me and three mates stayed here for the weekend in March '07 and thought the place was fine. It was well located, close to bars, and a short walk to the old buildings in the centre of town. The place was spotless and we got our own private bathroom for only 5 euro extra per day, well worth it. The fact there were no bunkbeds too was great. The only downside was there were only these thin curtains so as soon as the sun cranked up it was wakey wakey. Cheap student bars nearby and also a strip club (if you're into that sort of thing!). 10 euro cab to the airport. Don't hesitate to book.
