| Comments: Squeaky-clean and tidy, with competent and helpful staff. Close to the city centre, so I really don't know what these whiners are complaining about (no fun there on Christmas, burnsideo7? What DO you do for Christmas Down Under, I wonder??) |

| Comments: Everything in the dorm is loud. The metal bunks very squeaky, the metal lockers, same, and our door very squeaky as well. Apart from that, I was there over Christmas, there was nothing really planned going on there which is a shame, seemed like any other day. Apart from that, no probs. |

| Comments: It isone of those hostel/hotel places which means it is very well kept up but you get a lot of the older crowd too, as long as you can find some friends in your room you will have no worries, good party area. |

| Comments: Was unfortunate that people are allowed to smoke in the bar and there is no circulation for for fresh air. Would not use the bar nor did 5 other of my friends for this reason - even though some of them were smokers. |

| Comments: I stayed in a private room. Bed sheets had holes, also found hairs in my bed. Too many hairs on the washroom floor to have been thorougly cleaned. When they made the bed, they left the big window wide open - still relatively safe, though it can be easily accessed via fire escape. There were two different schools of children staying at the hostel, so it was pretty noisy. I had to check out a day early and there were no issues with that so it was great. |

| Comments: No lockers in the dorm rooms! The sink in our room was broken and not usual-able. Mattresses were thin and the beds were squeaky. Breakfast was good and definitely worth the €3.50. |

| Comments: My experience with the MEININGER City Hostel was a very nice one. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is welcoming. It's also pretty close to the center of the town, so I would strongly recommend it. |

The stuff was really kind and helpful.
A big breakfast just for 3.50 euros :) |

| Comments: Good ol\' Meininger never let\'s me down! It was my third stay in this hostel and I am still happy with it. For example, it is nice that our 8-bed dorm was actually divided into two 4-bed rooms and that there was an en-suite bathroom. The staff members were also nice people.
My only complaint would be that the dorms become pretty packed when all the beds are occupied, since there is not very much floor space between the beds. However, I definitely will stay in Meininger again! |

| Comments: The hostel is reasonable near the town centre - easy enough to walk. There is a smoking bar in the hostel, which sells cheap drinks and has a good atmosphere. The staff were all very laid-back and friendly. The room was reasonably clean but the bathroom was a little grubby. Overall - decent! |

| Comments: Very much like an HI hostel. Very clean and secure, but you can count on plenty of children's tour groups and families. If you're looking to meet people and have fun, don't stay here. If you just want a clean bed and don't mind noisy kids, then it's cheap. It's a bit of a hike from the hbf but you pass through the shopping district to get there. Breakfast had yogurt, meat, and cheese, in addition to the usuals. |
