Do Step Inn

The staff member who checked us in was helpful. Very close to Westbanhhof railway station.

The actual hostel building is a couple of blocks away from the main reception building. Parking in the area is very unclear and even the staff have a minimal understanding of where you can and can't park, as well as how long you can park for. They sell tickets for parking at reception though and can help you to fill them in. There is a parking garage across the road from the main reception building, shared with Lidl, which is about 4.20 euro for an hour. If you are planning to stay at this hostel, then it is best to use public transport instead. The room itself was very basic. It was stuffy and hot inside, with a musty smell. The windows are able to be opened though there are no curtains, only a metal sliding panel on the outside. The double bed was comprised of a black metal frame with an unsupportive mattress that dipped in the middle. The pillows were large and square, uncomfortable and far too big to be practical. There were two flat sheets and two separate duvets, one for each side of the bed, though no actual cover was provided for the duvets. The walls are very thin and it was impossible to sleep as every sound could be heard coming from outside. The room we were in was situated right in front of the WC, with people slamming the doors, talking loudly and congregating there during the night despite signs around asking people to be quiet after 10pm. The kitchen was poorly equipped in terms of cooking equipment. There is only a microwave and one stove with 4 hot plates on it. There are no adequate tables to sit at to eat, with the kitchen / lounge area being designed in a rather haphazard fashion and all benches at knee height or bar height, requiring you to perch on high stools. I wouldn't recommend this hostel unless you don't mind missing out on sleep and you eat out rather than cooking.
