Good, clean and surprisingly modern Hostel located in a good city centre location, the Barbarossa tram stop is also pretty close with regular connections to the Cathedral and the main train station. Bathroom was surprisingly well equipped and the rooms where clean, tidy and had a balcony. A nice touch where the free towels we got. Cheap clean, efficient and... More

This is a convenient hostel for the University. The city centre is a short walk away where there is excellent shopping, restaurants and bars and there are plenty of trams. The wifi in the hostel was very poor. The rooms were average but the price was excellent.

I stayed her during a trip with my work colleagues. The hostel was pretty reasonable, quite good value for the price and was clean and reasonably comfortable. For the price, it was everything that I expected. However, it was not directly in the city centre. This is fine as we were able to get around by tram and walking (once... More

We stayed in a hotel room at the Meininger for five nights in May, and for our purposes it was great. The location is not super-central for museums and such, but it's near busy Rudolfplatz; we often took the half-hour walk to the Dom or other attractions and rarely had to leave the lively parts of town, and we could...

Very poorly maintained... no towels (even for rent); showers backed up; internet worked poorly; loud; our room walls were painted blood red... don't stay here!
