MEININGER Hotel Hamburg City Center  

stayed in the 8 bed female dorm for 4 nights over very hot weekend in may. the reception staff were really friendly and helpful and speak great english. the hotel is clean and modern, very much geared towards the younger end. didn't have the best nights sleep due to 8 people being in the room (but that's hostels for you!), just normal getting up / coming in at different times and also the heat / early light. there wasn't a problem with rowdiness / parties or anything from anywhere in the hotel. the room was a little cramped, especially when they put an extra camp bed in the room one night! there is a walled off section in the room containing two bunks - if you are lucky enough to grab this it offers a bit more privacy / darkness, especially if you might need a lie in! could have done with more than one toilet and one shower for 8 girls in the room, but didn't have to wait too long at any point. the location is handy for altona station and shopping area and there is a large supermarket minutes away - the guest kitchen is great with a large fridge, cooker, washing machine etc. Bring your own padlock for the lockers in the room.

for 2 weeks, in a 10 bedroom...was funny, but is not for everybody.if you accept loud sleeping people.... ;) have fun

Pros: The staff is nice and all speak good english. kitchen is clean and laundry is free!
Cons: Too far with not much to see in the surroundings
