Steffis Hostel

In a 19th-century tobacco factory a block north of the Hauptbahnhof, accessed via an industrial-size lift, Steffis offers bright, well-lit dorms and rooms, a sociable lounge, a spacious kitchen and an old-school hostel vibe. Breakfast costs €3. Perks include tea, coffee and free bike rental. From May to September there's a two-night minimum stay at weekends.
