Reviews
1. Very attractive prices.
2. Convenient location. We had our bikes with us, so for exploring the city and surroundings, the location a few km from the city centre was perfectly fine.
3. Room was rather clean, the bathroom had still some hairs sticking around (mirror, shower), no big problem though.
4. Breakfast was great for 10 EUR: large variety in foods (rolls, granola, corn flakes, müsli, fruits, cold & warm drinks)
5. Very friendly personnel
6. Halls could be a bit cleaner.
7. The biggest issue we had was that, although the hostel prescribes silence between 10pm and 6am, we had a guest in our dorm coming in at 11:45pm, switching on the light while we were asleep and thus waking us up. He left after a few minutes and came back at 1am again switching on the light and arranging his bed for like 10 minutes. I find this absolutely not done. I don't mind sleeping in a dorm with several people but not when there is light and noise in the middle of the night. The fact that this person had to make up his bed means that he only came in last minute. The hostel staff should have put him in an empty room or dorm, or should not have have accepted him, knowing he would disturb other guests in the middle of the night.
Hostel is kept pretty clean throughout and the heating was good for winter.

The WiFi did not work properly.
Overall with the dirtiness of the rooms, unprofessionalism and rudeness of the staff members, this hostel is not worth the stay. There are many better options when it comes to a stay in Weimar.
Be smart and choose others.
You should have more than 1 person at the reception. On several occasions, I had to wait for 20 minutes for a receptionist. You should at least have a ringing bell on the reception counter to let the personnel know guests are waiting for them.
