Friendly staffClean roomsConvenient location
LucasGermanyGood place, but not so well frequented
Staff is nice and bed is comfortable. I didn’t use the kitchen, so I cannot share my opinion about this.
Maybe due to the low price, a lot of impolite people, slamming doors in the middle of the night and being loud
Soňa TomčalováCzech RepublicClose to the train station and lidl. They offer tea, coffee and fruit.
The room and the bathrooms were a bit dirty and the shines a lot under the doors

Payment & property
Paid when you book, not at the desk.
Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Central Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Central Hostel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 1:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Central Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Central Hostel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does Central Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Central Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Central Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
