Instant Sleep Backpacker Hostel

Hamburg

Instant Sleep has several rooms with cool designs and bunk beds. It also has shared bathrooms and showers, a kitchen and a chill section. I spent 2 nights here with three of my friends. It gave us what exactly we were looking for, cheap accommodation with four walls, a roof and some privacy. However, spending more time here might not be that ideal, so I can only recommend this place for real backpackers and travellers.

A great option for backpackers

A street musician helping the hostel with an elderly woman, stole me while I was in the common room to eat, he asked her to watch and then came back saying I took the screw from the lever of his camera, he also opened my suitcase which had a simple lock, noted the email and commented on various things including my gentle assertion that there was something in my belongings. And when the bar was open it was impossible to fall asleep before 6:00 a. The inability of the people who do not sleep at night is only a suspect façade, because it seems to me that for a place of indicators so good it seems to them that they were employing a terrace.

Robbed in my room by one of the residents

I spent a weekend here, and while it's a comfortable hostel in an interesting area, the name 'Instant Sleep' doesn't apply on Saturday nights because of the noise from the bar downstairs, punctuated occasionally by sirens. You soon realize why there's an earplug dispenser at reception.
Sunday night was fine, though. The hostel has a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, and the facilities you'd expect, including excellent wifi. Not luxurious, but it attracts a fun-loving crowd and is an enjoyable place to stay if you're in the area.

Good hostel, but 'Instant Sleep'? Not on a Saturday night!

The location is what saves the hotel, but the check in is very slow (they couldn't even find my reservation in their system), the rooms aren't clean (when we arrived they hadn't even changed the sheets) and, when we wanted to go in and check out, we were told that they weren't open until 9am (we had to go in at 8am because we had the flight at 9.30am) and, in the end and very badly, they did us the favor of giving us the 20 euros in deposit that must be left for the key...very bad experience.

Good location, bad hostel

For a little money, you get a bed and a roof over your head in a good position. No more and no less. But that's exactly what this is all about. No unnecessary luxury that costs a lot of money. The beds are very comfortable for a hostel and not crowded.

Cheap and good

Staying here at the moment in a triple room.  Absolutely perfect for our needs. Faultless.  Cheap bed for a couple of nights and there is a small bar too!  Thank you.

Close walking distance to good nightlife!  Would stay here again 

Great hostel, cheap, cheerful!  Just what is needed

It's perfect if you want to meet other travellers and be part of a community for a couple or days. Sheets are clean and  smell fresh, the kitchen is very functional and kept clean and the price is ridiculously low.  The showers are not the best, but they are maintained. The location was excellent: 10 minutes from the s-bahn by walk, near lots of bars and restaurants, shops, cafés, etc.  Also, free coffee and tea all day long. The staff is very nice. There is just next door a fabulous breakfast restaurant, mamalicious, best pancakes I had in years. Thanks for the amazing stay!

Exactly what I was looking for

Avoid at all costs during the weekend - you will be treated to ear-splittingly loud music from 10PM-5AM from the bar below. I tried to cancel my reservation for the second night because the noise was so extreme (way beyond “backpacker hostel noise disturbances” as mentioned on booking.com), but my request was denied by the hostel.

Avoid at all costs during the weekend

Hostel located in the St. Pauli district, a 20-minute walk from the reeperbahn, a 10-minute walk from the millerntor (St. Pauli Stadium), and less than ten minutes from the metro station.

It's a great hostel.

We had a private triple room. the beds were self builded out of wood so there is a lot of space at the bottom bunk up the the upper bunk. The communal area is composed of open kitchens, reception, tables / couches and a kind of small stage. It was a cozy globetrotting athmosphere. There were also many students temporarily staying at the hostel. I guess there are some little music show at the hostel but we did'nt stayed there in the evening. I did not like the bathrooms. Showers, toilets and sinks were all in a single room, no privacy at all and it could have been cleaner. The hostel is perfectly located in the Sternschanze district, a cool alternative scene area. Just a few tram stops away from St. Pauli and the famous Reeperbahn.
