Schöndorf Hostel - virtual reception

Spacious room and a balcony to hang out. Thank you for the welcome drink!

There's only 1female bathroom each floor, so sometimes you neeed to wait.

Close to all key tourist attractions Welcome drink as appreciation Extra effort by having separate area fir heavy cooking while those need just drink is separately near room.

Missing some face to face touch but instructions are clear except my concern to tax portion via the app given.

City center like a good option to visit all main places. Clean bed, good kitchen. Clear instructions to check in. Good café downstairs.

One of the main streets as a source of noise. A lot of young people yelled every night under the windows. One night there was noise from kitchen area at 4AM.

The cafe staff were nice and friendly, and the facilities were really clean and in good condition. I enjoyed talking with guests in the main common area. You can unlock doors from the website's personal cabinet (and there are a lot of doors!). Beds have curtains, so you can have some privacy. You can leave your belongings in a storage box outside after checking out. However, it lacks private compartments.

1) You will not receive the code to get inside in the booking confirmation or via message. You have to go to their website, pay extra for the city tax there, and submit your ID for verification (like with banks). At the same time, there is no staff at the facility in the evening or at night. Plus, the hostel's Wi-Fi doesn't work reliably from the gate, so I had to go to the restaurant next door, ask for their Wi-Fi password, and sit there completing this long and complicated registration process. Without that restaurant, I don't know what I would have done. 2) I got a place in a big, 12-bed room (above a cafe). There is no ventilation and it was really noisy outside on the street (it's a street with bars and drunk people walking there until really late). 3) The men's bathroom has a kind of awkward layout: it is a big room with a sink and two shower cubicles with curtains. There is plenty of space in this room to accommodate some private space for each shower, but there isn't any. You can't privately dress or undress because you exit from the shower directly into the bathroom. 4) The washing machine and dryer were expensive and you had to pay for each. 5) The staff has a kind of specific way of communicating with guests in notices around the facility. I was especially impressed with the threats to be thrown out without compensation placed on the beds (see photos). 6) At night, the place feels a bit like a prison because of so many metal gates and doors
