Liked: The hostel was easy to get to from the airport - directions were clear from the website - take the number 6 tram then transfer to the number 10 tram, then walk for two minutes. I stayed in the 6 bed mixed dorm room, was clean and roomy. Each bed had its own reading light. The single bathroom and toilet on the third floor were separate and very clean. There was also a mini-kitchen with a sink and kettle on the third floor as well. Liked the free coffee and tea on offer too (on those cold days). Staff were helpful and spoke excellent English. It was located near a cluster of restaurants so won't go hungry and it was a 10 minute walk away to the main town centre.

Disliked: The "buffet" breakfast consisted of bread, one type of cereal, yoghurt, fruits (apple, pineapple, grapes), selection of cheeses and meat, cucumbers and tomatoes, and fruit juices. Though it was a good selection, it wasn't really worth the 6 euro. The breakfast area is also the common area which isn't very big and could get cramped. The spiral staircase could be a problem for those carrying luggage up a few flights of stairs (I had a backpack so it didn't bother me). Not much information offered in English - in particular the "things to do in Bremen" folder at reception contained information only in German. I also wasn't provided with a detailed receipt upon check-out despite being told that I would be given one (again not a big deal), but if you are after a detailed receipt, maybe ask one once you check-in. No individual lockers to keep your belongings in. Had to pay extra for linens (had to make your own bedding).

03 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I was only in Bremen for a very short time, but my stay at this hostel was beyond amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly, the hostel impeccably clean. They even provided a bath mat in the roomy bathroom making it possible to get changed without doing the normal hop skip and a jump trying not to get your jeans wet.

Disliked: Nothing worth noting. I wish I had more time there to enjoy the hospitality and the activities provided at the end of the week. I missed out on these as I was there on a monday.
