Guest Score 7 out of 10
Good
Very clean, decent sized room, not noisy, close to train station and grocery store.
Charged extra for coffee, towels, sheets. No staff ever at desk; you had to ring a buzzer to get anyone, which is annoying if you just have a question or want advice. The first night I had food I wanted to refrigerate but couldn’t find anyone to get into the kitchen, because it’s locked like everything else. Next day when I got the key to the kitchen the refrigerator was empty and the door was open. No one around to ask if it worked. 2nd time throwing my food away!! They really need full time front desk help.

Location close to the station and HSB good, not too far from the Altstadt. Room warm and comfortable.
Can’t really think of anything, did what it said on the tin.

Good size rooms and bathroom. Light with big windows
Our room was directly onto quite a busy road so noisy. We had to pay for linen/towels which is the policy but had not been made clear to us beforehand and made the stay more expensive than I’d expect for a hostel

Room was compact but comfortable, with private bathroom. Location was good, walking distance to train station, shops and restaurants. There was a guest kitchen but you had to pay 20euro deposit to get access to this.
We booked mainly because of the price (we were passing through and only staying one night) but once extra charges for bed linen, towels etc were added it wasn't as good value as 1st appeared. Also the breakfast was fine but very basic for the price (bread roll an cup of tea or coffee but some types of coffee were extra).

Nice clean rooms and clean bathroom, nice lounge area, access to a kitchen, short walk from the train and bus station.
The kitchen was well-equipped but a bit small with only one sink and one stove (with 4 hot plates).

Beds were comfortable. Free street parking slots right in front of the door. Good location.
The staff replied our questions unfriendly, we felt us not welcomed. They refused to give us our Harzer Urlaubs-Ticket (HATIX) lying the 2-night reservation instead of 1-night one is required. There is no online payments for booking, but we also got no bills for our payment by cash direct in hostel. Towels and bed linen are for extra charge. Horrible pillows! You can get a key from kitchen with a kettle and microwave only under the 20 euro deposit, but there is free hot water in coffee machine. Breakfast (for additional 5,5 euro) consists from 2 white flour buns, a sausage and portion packets of butter, jam and honey. Never again!

Location was convenient to sightsee. Room was large and clean. Check in n check out process was quick.
Noisy groups, loud conversations continuing through the night. A stranger entered our room to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
