Nicht zu weit vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt, Anbindung an den ÖPNV gut, saubere Zimmer, bequeme Betten, freundliches Personal, Gratis-Frühstück (Brot, Butter, Marmelade, Nutella, Wasser), große Küche im obersten Stockwerk, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sehr nah, Unterkunft keine fünf Minuten von ALDI und LIDL entfernt, Essensmöglichkeiten fußläufig entfernt.

Nothing
This is my worst experience ever. I'm 40+ and travelled all around the world but never happened to be refused to check-in for a paid accommodation. I have arrived few minutes after midnight and no answer to enter inside the Hostel. Called several times to the existing phone number...no answer. Luckily some guests came late and I was able to enter and sit in a chair. Called to the reception over 30 times....no answer! Due to time of the day (1am), I was not able to find another accommodation and stayed/slept on the chair in a corridor.
Understand that my arrival was out of hours (after 23:00 o'clock) but with an additional costs, someone could attend to assist with my check-in.
Moreover, the "cruel" administrator saw me in the morning sitting in the corridor and not even asked to provide a coffee or breakfast which was paid in advance.
I hope the property will have the decency to return the amount I've paid.
Based on my experience, definitely I would not recommend to stay in this place.

Contrairement à l'accueil catastrophique nocturne, les stagiaires de jour non rémunérés sont très sympa.
L'accueil du responsable réception de l'Hostel était la PIRE expérience vécu.
J'ai reçu un message une heure avant mon arrivée via Booking.com me précisant un supplément de 6€ par retard d'une demi-heure à partir de 23h (photo en annexe).
Arrivée à 23h04, le veilleur m'a ouvert la porte avec des insultes en allemand et me menaçant de me laisser dehors.
Après de vifs échanges j'ai du payer immédiatement un supplément de 30€.
J'ai eu peut être de la chance, puisqu'une jeune fille arrivée après moi, vers 1h du matin, a du passer la nuit seule dehors, dans la cour de l'Hostel (voir photo en annexe, prise à 8h le lendemain, et confirmé par le réceptionniste lui-même ! ).
Ce comportement est inexcusable et dangereux pour un tel référencé chez Booking.com.
De plus, après réclamation, l'Hostel persiste de ne pas rembourser la différence escroquée (30€ - 6€).
Le petit déjeuné minimaliste : Café et pain de mie.
Je ne recommande absolument pas cet établissement. À éviter si vous ne voulez pas vous faire insulter.

All three of the staff were amazing. Especially the older gentleman, very friendly and very helpful.
I think some kind of drink should’ve been also provided with the extra breakfast, such as a coffee or a small juice

Das Bett war sehr gemütlich, die Lage ist in Ordnung und der Mitarbeiter war sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Ich konnte sogar früher einchecken. Es sind Schließfächer vor Ort, was mir immer sehr wichtig ist.

вот этот отель я не забуду😁 владелец очень хороший мужик. я должен был догадаться что за такую дешевую цену не стоит ждать что то лучшего, место хорошая, просто я не привык спать с разными чужими людьми, поэтому мне было не комфортно, но вокруг все чувствовали в своей тарелке, все чисто и аккуратно.
все было хорошо.

Alles andere auch Getränke musste extra einzelnd bezahlt werden
Das gesamte Haus roch leider nach Zigartettenqualm
Alles insgesamt nicht richtig sauber leider

Wij konden eerder inchecken, wat erg fijn was! De gastheer was erg vriendelijk en gaf ons tips hoe we het beste naar het centrum van Essen konden reizen.
Er lag stof bovenop de kasten, wat goed zichtbaar was als je boven in het stapelbed lag.

Gute Anbibdung an die Straßenbahn. Das Zimmer hatte ein Außenrollo, sodass es sehr dunkel wurde.
Fand das Zimmer etwas nostalgisch und ungemütlich / spärlich eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind alle extrem hellhörig. Sowohl die Gäste auf der gleichen Etage, in der Küche und im Treppenhaus, als auch die Gäste draußen und über uns, haben wir leider sehr dolle gehört.

Clean and convient public transport to places around, especially the central railway. The staff is really helpful and fun. I have met interesting people because of sharing kitchen and bedroom.
A bit noisy when someone is taking a shower or walking during sleeping hours.

I liked the kitchen/dining area, although I only used the refrigerator to store food. There was an outdoor space (back garden) but the weather wasn't the best. Some of the bathrooms were large and spacious.
There wasn't an outlet near my bed. There was one positioned on the lower bunk, and I had to ask the guy below to plug in my charger. Also, the guy below kept hopping from bed to bed (one night he was in one bed, then in the morning he was in another one), AND he kept playing music, etc. on his phone without using headphones. I didn't say anything because it seemed like he may be autistic.
Lastly, there's a bar that's attached. This is where you would check in. However, if you arrive early, the bar may not be open, and you may not be able to sit, etc. while you wait for check-in. This happened to me, and I waited outside (in bad weather) until check-in at 4 pm. (Side note: You can call the number on the door or send a message, but if you don't yet have data/a phone plan, then it's a problem. Luckily, the Lidl across the street has free wifi).

Very dirty toilet and kitchen, Room with very bad smell. The heater is not working in the cold weather. Very cold to stay in the night. I can say it's the worst hostel I have ever stay.
