MAC City Hostel

2 Didi de Pooter - a month ago

The location is quite good, close to a metro station and close to the central station. I shared a room with my husband and children. The room was big enough and clean, comfortable beds. Unfortunately the kitchen was not very clean. We were there during a heat wave and garbage was kept way too long in the kitchen. I don't recommend visiting with children. Also: before you go: check if the construction of a new railway bridge in the back is still going on. We were unable to open the window at night because the work continued all night and the noise and bright lights disturbed our rest. Sleeping with windows closed is never comfortable if you ask me, but during a heat wave it's simply unbearable.

Good basic hostel provision. Staff were v helpful and friendly. Beds comfy. The only thing was the noise of the street at night. We had to keep our windows open due to the heat. Traffic, regular emergency service sirens and people yahooing and talking in the street below until 330 am. Get a back room if you can.

Cheap and comfortable. The wifi is not that great but for students looking for a place to crash for a while to take a tour of Hamburg, it is in a perfect location close to S-Bahn.

We were visiting Hamburg and needed a place to stay for the night, we contacted this place and then went there. It was clean and affordable. We opted for the 8-bed dorm room because it was cheap and also privacy was not a problem for us. You just have to fill a form and pay to get the place. They give you clean sheets and you have to make use of them and make your bed and cover pillow and duvet. Plus they have clean bathrooms and kitchen too. The person at the reception is also really nice. Overall, satisfactory experience and will contact them again if needed.

I stayed two months at the hostel and I can definitely recommend it for short or long stay. The hostel is located right next to a metro and S-Bahn Station Berliner Tor, there is a big supermarket 3 minutes walk from the hostel and a Lidl 7 minutes walk. There's also a kebab shop right under the hostel, a vietnamese restaurant, several bakeries and McDonald's branch are less than five minutes walk from the hostel.

The manager Chang [aka Mr Chang:)] and the stuff make sure that the hostel is always clean and tidy. The kitchen is very well equipped with a smart induction stove, a toaster oven and a microwave. There are many pots and pans and you can always find clean dishes to use.

The showers are good with hot water 24/7.

In the common area there are some sofas and tables, a coffee machine (1.80€ for a cappuccino) and free tee. It's not a party hostel - there's no bar but you can meet other travelers from around the world.

The beds are pretty cozy, next to each bed there's a triple electricity socket so you can charge few devices at the same time. There's also a small lamp next to each bed.

The manager is very traveler-understanding which is really helpful in case you changed the plan after the booking, you can always speak with Chang and find a solution.

I have never had such a bad experience as with this hostel. After booking the room through the booking, I was informed that there was a problem with the payment card, after changing the details, the hostel canceled my booking. After making a new booking and paying, the hostel sent me a message saying that I am not welcome at the hostel due to my original booking. Hostel owner was very rude while we spoke. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Shared bathroom and toilets was a let down but everything else was ok. Does not match the advertising pictures.
