H.ostel Münster

Münster

This hostel is perfectly located on the green Marienplatz square in Münster, just to the south of the Old Town district. H.ostel Münster offers free WiFi and a 24/7 reception selling snacks.

Newly opening in autumn 2018, the hostel has a wide range of air-conditioned rooms. All rooms feature chic design, innovative beds and a lockable rollaway container for personal belongings. Bed linen and towels are provided free of charge. Location was really good as right in the center and close to the train station. I liked the bunks and the way it was situated in the way of back to back, so it gave more privacy. And bunks were quieter to climb up. Really like the little shelf space made for the items right by the pillow.

BaseCamp Bonn

Dottendorf, Bonn

Rooms in individual compartments of an old train carriage, and uniquely styled mobile homes with themes ranging from flower power to space shuttle are offered by this hostel. Free WiFi is also available. It's so bizzare and perfect, one of my most memorable hotel stays ever. We got to sleep in the caravan and it was just the best, and walking past all this is incomparable with any normal hotel room stay I have ever done. 10/10

DJH Jugendgästehaus Adolph Kolping

Dortmund City Centre, Dortmund

This centrally located hostel in Dortmund is 800 m away from the Dortmund Main Station. It is open 24/7 and offers free WiFi access.

The hostel offers continental breakfast and guests can also book a lunch and dinner buffet. Great place. We had a double room and it was quite large. Room also had a sink which is great. The shared bathrooms always have shampoo (which is also shower gel), and are quite clean. There is no hair dryer though. The food is also a very good bonus for the price. It is the same every day but you can diversify. Staff is also kind they very kind and helped a lot. They let us leave the baggages on the last day because our flight was in the evening. For us it was a 10/10 stay and would recommend to everyone.
