OPERA Hostel | Hostel in Erfurt Old Town

Very cosy and friendly place with a sense of home away from home... A fine combination of budget friendly hostel and what could best be described as a chic boutique hotel (only difference is toilet and bath in the hallway) Ten minutes walk to lovely city centre and a fine parking house fem minutes walk down the street (12,- euro for 24 hours). Everything looked fine and clean, the staff is very friendly and this place deserves a warm recommendation.

The ambiance for this place was amazing. I needed a nice place near the train station for a reasonable price with real people for a late check in, I hate the self check in places.

I LOVE this place!! It’s charming, not pretentious, relaxed. Staff and other guests are friendly and helpful. I would return in a heartbeat.

Utterly unique hotel - loved the room with the strange instrument on the ceiling and breakfast in the funky room was def worth the price

Kitchen witch tea, coffe, cacao.

The staff and the hostel itself are amazing, but the room was definitely not worth it. Positive: The girl at reception gave us some great recommendations and took the time to explain everything we needed. The hostel has an incredible design and the atmosphere was one of a kind. It is located 15 walking minutes or 10 by tram from the city center, which was not perfect but OK. Negative: We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom. Unfortunately, the room was very small, making it extremely hot and wet during the night. If you like sleeping with an open window then that wouldn't be a problem. The shower in the bathroom was build in a way that you have to constantly press a button in order to have a constant running water, which was very annoying. The shower was built-in and there was absolutely no way to take a shower without washing your hair. The biggest disadvantages were the location of the room and the thin mattresses. The common kitchen where breakfast is served was just a few meters away from the room and both mornings I was awakened by the noise of plates and cutlery, both days before even 8 am, which is way too early for my holiday wake-up time. The other truly annoying thing was the mattress and the two single beds put together, which were advertised as a queen bed. Unfortunately, that was not the case and the beds were having a gap in between. The mattress was very thin and very, very uncomfortable, causing both of us horrible back pain in the mornings.
