I was told by manager that this was the first Hostel in Mannheim and they have set exceptional high standards the Hostel felt safe and comfortable the staff that I met were very welcoming and they had even thought of the little things like having a projected image of the Hostel name illuminating the sidewalk so the Hostel will be easier to find after dark

Situated in Mannheim, 4.2 km from Maimarkt Mannheim, Work & Sleep Boardinghouse Mannheim features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace.

The hotel is really nice and clean, the room was perfect for what I needed it. I really enjoyed to even have an in-suite bathroom for this price. The also have real curtains, which does not always seem to be the case in Germany. All in all the perfect stay if you just need a room to sleep in.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff and room were impeccable. I arrived late night and had a late night check in request which was no issue to be fulfilled. Entire process took less than 5 minutes. Very straight forward check in and access. Joel at the staff was very friendly and shared his knowledge of Germany and the local area. He helped me with my requests and made me feel like I was at home. Very chill hostel, not busy, and one of the coolest vibiest lounges up on the roof where the bar and reception is. Big TV, music, locker room, fooseball table, and much more.

    A budget hotel, and you get what you paid for. It's situated in nice building (from the outside), but is spartanly bare and falling apart on the inside. Some people might find it a bit spooky looking. But on the other hand it's cheap for a private room with bathroom. Don't come here expecting anything more than that. Nonetheless, it's quiet and I slept well. And there was a ventilator to keep me cool.

    It was one of the best hostel I stayed at so far. Perfect location. Didn’t have to pay for locker or towels(which are paid in many hostels). Comfy beds and host was nice.
