Luckily I get the separate room (which I was not expecting, maybe due to less rush) it was very good and clean. Quite too. The facilities was really good, unique comic wall in toilets 😆 and nice paintings in room.

Perfect short-stay . Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. It’s a great alternative to staying in a hotel if you want a bit more space and independence.

There were rooms with two beds in each rather than the typical tall stack bunks in hostels which felt more spacious. I appreciated the towels included and the overall living space was huge. Only a 10 minute walk from the main Hbf and next to the main shopping mall (Forum). There is no reception, it operates by you getting a code for the door and for a lockbox to get the keys to the apartment. But, the WhatsApp number is responsive and the housekeeping lady was very friendly and let me store my luggage early. Duisburg is not a huge hub and it is a bit of off season (getting into later fall) so the place was not fully booked, I stayed for 4 nights and had the two occupancy room to myself for three of them. The place is very clean and orderly, normally I wear shoes everywhere in hostels but you can tell that this place is cleaned intentionally and on a regular basis with good products and good technique.

All hostels in Gelsenkirchen

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
