    Staff were very professional and courteous and the 4 Euro breakfast was a great value, but couldn't help thinking during the entire stay how utterly franchised the experience was, very much like a hotel, so if you're looking for a place to party hardy, this one is not for you. No real... more

    While staying here, we had a security breach where someone in our room broke into our lockers and stole everything. However, the hotel staff were absolutely amazing in handling the situation with us. I think character lacked a little because it was a hostel/budget hotel.

    Overall a good hostel! VERY clean, new bathrooms, decent beds, on a quite street, but within sight of metro stop. Definitely use the internet cafe right across the street, half the price.

    Very clean, modern place. Staff are helpful. Heating wasn't working properly but we weren't cold at all. Nice hot showers. Close to the metro. No security lockers - not sure why as other Meiningers I've been to have them.

    the kitchen is in the basement, where it is very cold during winter. Besides, the cleaning ladies have their equipment there. There is just one table in the kitchen. But the room in the Meininger was great, even with TV:)!!! Very high quality hostel. Definitely worth staying there!

    Clean, secure and private hotel (that has dorms). More suited to those not looking to meet people and party it up. Pluses: location, clean and quiet. Minuses: no free internet - don't use the hotel internet (2 euro for 30 mins) go across the street where it is much cheaper (1.60 euro for an hour)

    It's a very big, very institutional building without any real character and no good place to just hang out. But it's cheap and conveniently located right next to a metro station, so it's easy to get into the city.

    Bought the breakfast when I checked in without thinking and tried to cancel it just a few hours later (at night) and wasn't allowed a refund. Other than that everything was very good, nice clean beds, good atmosphere.

    I've stayed here many times, and I will return again soon. The location is excellent. U-bahn, ATM, bakery, and grocery store are only a block away. There's also a kebab stand a few blocks away with the nicest kebab stand owner I've ever met. Clean, safe, and relaxing. Bring your own lock, though.
