    We were out of toilet paper often in the evenings.

    Th kitchen was well equipped and the giant fridge was sufficient for all guests. Nice common area. It took a while to get used to the qr-code system and how to scan the code. The online check-in didn’t work because we were a group with multiple rooms but the physical lobby of their partner hostel was around the corner and they were superfriendly and prepared already separate printed codes for us. I’m sure the check-in works perfectly for single and couple travellers.

    it was noisy if someone was walking outside the doors. there are Noo carpets in walkway to reduce the noise of foot steps. you can hear them all the time even in midnights.

    completely online. there will be no one at the reception if you are arriving late night and will be doing everything online. so soo easy bot much complicated.

    The water pressure in the showers was pretty low and there wasn't anything to hang the shower heads on. I would have appreciated actual sheets that wrap around the blankets as well as a bigger towel. All that said, value for money was pretty good.

    Check-in was very simple and all QR code based. Very clean facilities.

    it was close to the underground, so easy to get to and from. room itself was fine, good facilities in the kitchen. only downside was online checkin wasn’t working for js us but luckily the reception was just down the road and the staff there were great in helping get it sorted.

    There was lack of air flow in the room, we had S3 which was underground, the smell of the food cooked in the kitchen stucks in your room forever and the only window is on the bottom of the street so a rat can get in if you open it, if not for the really bad smell we had to live through, I would have given it a 10/10

    Self check in and check out via QR is an amazing and easy concept, the room had fun design.

    the toilets and showers could have been cleaned more regularly. they weren’t dirty, just that there was a lot of people using them and they just should be maintained more often

    exactly what I was looking for

    The host was very late in responding to our questions, so we could not get comprehensive answers. The bed linen did not have a blanket.

    A convenient system for check-in. Clean toilet and kitchen. Close to shops and subway.

    Bed sheets were slightly disappointing, and no way to play table football. Wish there was a way to notify if new towels or bedsheets were needed

    Location was great, close to the underground trains and trams. A lot of places to grab food and drinks around. Enough shower rooms and bathrooms to never need to wait. Rooms had self-managed windows and radiators, so we could adjust temperature how we liked it. Kitchen well equipped to prepare your own meals, no oven tho.

    Towels were very small, could have done with two for our two night stay. Really bad smell in kitchen and bathroom areas.

    Great location, within walking distance to good restaurants. Nice room with a comfy bed. QR code for front door and room were easy to use.

    I didn't like that I had to go to a different location to get a QR code to enter the room. It was super complicated, especially since I didn't have access to a phone or Internet on the street.

    The kitchen was awesome, the staff was super helpful.

    Sometimes the code QR wasn't working on a first try, but usually after the second try the door easily opened.

    Very smart way to run a hotel - without service, without keys (which can be easily lost) and with lots of facilities. We really appreciate the possibility to leave a luggage after check out and before check in. Also the kitchen was really tidy and well-equipped.

    To enter the hostel or room you need only QR code which is good and digitalised. Room was wonderful and facilitated well. Good location

    Some toilet rooms were either locked or very stinky one day.

    Comfy lockable beds, sheets were clean. You get a lamp with adjustable brightness and a power outlet in your bunk. Also a small towel. There's a mirror and a small desk in your room. Shower rooms were clean. Be careful when going to the bathroom at night, everything unlocks by a QR code on your phone so don't leave it in your bed :) Even though there's no staff on site, they were very quick to respond to my request on the booking chat The location is good 10 min from stadthalle

    There were no lockers in the dorm rooms. One toilet always smelled bad (I suspect ongoing issue rather than lack of cleaning). A bit far from the city centre but easily accessible through the metro underground system.

    The beds were very private, locked with a personal QR code. The check in and out was very easy because it was online (no reception or staff, completely self service). The guest kitchen was well equipped.
