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.

Do not stay at this hotel! The hotel is in a very shady part of town, with intoxicated men just hanging in and around the hotel. There were no sheets or pillow cases on the bed and the mattress was filthy! The pillow and throw were covered in blood and sweat and there were unknown substances running down the wall. I tried to call the customer service but the phone was answered by a rude man demanding my name and room number, which was so odd! We had no choice to but check out within a hour of checkin in. My children were too scared to sleep in such conditions. Do not stay here!!!

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.

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.

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.

Decent stay for a good price

The hostel is in a very convenient location. There's a massive grocery store a tiny walk away, an S-Bahn station an even shorter walk away where you can hop one stop to Hamburg HBF. I was positively surprised at how modern and clean everything was at the hostel from the moment I stepped in. The layout of the hostel is a bit confusing, and some elevators couldn't go down to ground floor for some reason. Unfortunately I was made to feel a bit dumb for not knowing if I wanted to check in at the desk or myself. One of the employees tried to tell me how annoying it is to check in at the desk or something, and I told him I'd never stayed at a hotel or hostel before so I didn't know what to do, which is why I came up to the desk. Luckily the employee next to him stepped up and helped me through the process and he was great. Rented a towel as I was travelling light, very reasonable price. In the room my main issue was that there are individual lights and usb outlets for each bed but mine weren't working. Before checking out I noticed the issue was as simple as my bed not being plugged into the wall for some reason? Otherwise the room was great, toilet was really spacious and clean, shower was a bit tight but my shoulders are wider than average, so that has something to do with it. The pillow is nice and big, the blanket is good too. Bedframe could be less squeaky and mattress a bit thicker but minor complaints, really. Lots of little stools to sit on when not in bed.

Unser Zimmer war in der Endetage (8) und nach vorne zur Strasse raus. Es war stickig und feucht-warm, so dass wir dachten die Heizung läuft auf 10, diese war aber aus. Also mussten wir das Fenster öffnen und es war sehr laut im Zimmer durch die 6-Spurige Strasse und die Bahngleise. Aber viel Schlimmer: es war dicker schwarzer Schimmel in den Fensterrahmen und den Gummis, so dass wir beschlossen haben dort nicht zu übernachten und nachts mit dem letzten Zug wieder nach Hause zu fahren. Low-Budget schön und gut, aber Basics wie KEINEN Schimmel im Zimmer, sollte Standard sein.

Das Personal war an sich nett, aber als ich erneut zum Tresen ging, weil ich mit der Karte nicht ins Zimmer kam, wurde ich sehr ungläubig und skeptisch angeschaut. Aufgrund der DB kam ich erst sehr spät im Hotel an (nach 21 Uhr), sodass das Mehrbettgruppenzimmer schon dunkel war und einige versuchten, zu schlafen. Mit Taschenlampe ging ich dann ins Bad, machte mich bettfertig und suchte dann meine Bettnummer. Ich lag als einzige Frau im Zimmer (was ich im Dunkeln erst nicht erkannte, weil ich ja nicht schaute, wer oben in den Doppelstockbetten lag), obwohl es ein gemischtes Zimmer war. Und dann wurde ich auch so betttechnidch zugeordnet, dass ich im einzigen rangeschobenen Einzelbett neben einem Mann liegen musste, obwohl noch in einem Doppelbett unten ein Platz frei war. Ich weiß nicht, ob das Zimmer verwechselt wurde (weil die Karte anfangs ja auch nicht ging) oder ob man mich trotz offenkundig weiblichen Namens wegen der kurzen Haare versehentlich für einen Mann hielt…war auf jeden Fall super unangenehm. Der eine Mann dort nahm auch null Rücksicht, kochte sich nachts um 3 plötzlich mit dem Wasseekocher Krümeltee und schlief dann schnarchend weiter. Im Gespräch am nächsten Morgen mit einem der Männer erfuhr ich dann, dass ein Mann darum bat, diesen Mann in ein anderes Zimmer zu schicken, weil er so rücksichtslos ist, aber der Wunsch wurde vom Hostel wohl nicht berücksichtigt. Zum Glück war ich nur eine Nacht dort… 3 Sterne gibt es, weil das Zimmer sauber&günstig war.

Es war für den Preis soweit alles völlig in Ordnung. Die Fenster vom Zimmer waren sehr dreckig: einige Fettflecken und schmierig. Ansonsten kann ich nichts meckern. Zum Frühstück können wir nichts sagen, da wir keines hatten. Es wäre noch praktisch gewesen, wenn es irgendwo in der Nähe günstige Parkmöglichkeiten geben würde.
