Our stay at a&o hostel was excellent. It would be good if a kitchen with facilities was available so you can prepare your own meals and dinner available. This is based on our experience at a&o Hostel in Sydhaven, Coppenhagen.

I booked a stay at a&o Hamburg City through Expedia, but my experience was beyond disappointing. From the moment I arrived, multiple issues made it impossible to stay: Hidden Charges: I was forced to pay €10 for clean towels and bedding, which should be standard and was not disclosed during booking. Overbooked & No Bed Available: My assigned room was packed, leaving me without a place to sleep. Filthy Alternative Room: The replacement room was dirty and clearly uninhabitable. No Help from Staff: When I requested a single room, they refused, blaming Expedia for the booking restrictions. Ultimately, I had to cancel my stay entirely because the hostel failed to provide even basic accommodations. Avoid this place if you expect cleanliness, honesty, or decent service. To Expedia: I expect a full refund for this booking, as the property misrepresented its services.

Nice for what we paid!

We stayed in a family room. Twinbed plus bunk bed, shower plus toilet. It was 23-25 degrees outside but inside it was 30... no ventilation or air con. But we only paid 1000 kr per night so its fine. I would like to tell the manager rhat they need more people in the recetion at check in. Too long waiting time. The selfcheck in did not work. The people working in the reception was nice.

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.

Not recommendable

The room was dirty and on one of the beds the old sheets was still on, the hairdryer didn’t work, and one night the guards told us to be quite, even though we hardly made any noise.
