Jugendherberge Kiel

The guy from the morning shift was really nice and helpful. Bedsheets were clean and the toilet as well. Breakfast has lots of options, just no fruit.

When I got to the hostel my booking had not been registered, besides they charge an extra fee for not being part of hostelling international, which they only let you know about once you have already booked the room. As my booking was not yet in the system I didn't get the e-mail stating that I needed to pay an extra fee until the next day. The night staff was angry and extremely rude, even though I agreed on paying the fee as soon as he mentioned it. The showers could have been cleaner, there was mold in between the tiles.

Breakfast was better than expected and the staff were all very friendly. Location is pretty good. Comfortable, sturdy bunk beds that doesn't make a lot of sound

Room was very hot but I managed to open the window a slight bit after a few tries. Even though it wasn't a problem for me, the fact that you can't get in to the hostel at all after 1AM needs to be advertised better on the site. Two electric sockets in a room for four people, none beside the beds. All in all, not worth it. It's one of the cheaper alternatives in Kiel but I've stayed at plenty both cheaper and nicer hostels in Germany.
