Germany
It was a great stay, better than I had expected. Soft beds with privacy curtains, friendly staff, slightly small but exceptionally clean bathroom. At the time when I stayed, the value for money was excellent. There are a lot of places to eat and shops with food and other conveniences nearby, right along the path from/to the nearest train station. The bathroom and shower area was unisex, which I thought was nice and very progressive. Do know that this hostel is located in Hamburg's very active red light district, where a lot of party venues are located, so there may be people quietly entering or leaving the room, bass from a nearby disco, or other occasional little disturbances at night, like people that can be heard outside. I don't consider this a negative point for this review, as this is Reeperbahn (that's the name of this red light district), where people specifically go for fun and an active nightlife. Personally, I had zero issue sleeping. But I also don't wake up all that easily from sounds. There was bass from outside, but I didn't think it was actually loud. 10/10 recommended stay, unless you don't like Reeperbahn.

There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.

Great kitchen to cook in, but you need to bring dishwashing products and a sponge to wash your plates and stuff...

Regarding noise, it really depends on the other guests you will be with. For me, it was a bit loud late in the evening over the weekend, but ther other days were fine. It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.
