Schöndorf Hostel - Virtual Reception

Good hostels for solo travelers

I like the style of this hostel. + spacious bed + tidy place + codes worked well on the doors + good common room with cooking and laundry facilities + many shops, cafes, restaurants nearby - no staff around. Everything was online. Here I really realized I prefer places where I can meet the people who run the business. They create the athmosphere of the place. - the most problematic check-in online (my phone find the site untrustable so it took for sure 10 times more time to do check-in online than what it usually takes face to face, finally changing a phone and a browser I managed to do it but no idea what has happened if I didn't have this option. Very frustrating experience) - lockers were smallish (can't fit any bigger bag there) plus people had problems to set the codes right there, quite many beeping sounds.. - not many toilets or showers, so if there is a full house and you are in hurry, you have to wake up early to get yourself ready in time. - street is lovely but very very loud, tram goes just under the window plus at weekend there is a night club somewhere near, you can hear it all night. So bring ear plugs too. - there is a locker outside on the alley (just few steps from the street) where you can leave your luggage before/after your check-in/out. It just one big metal locker and everyone uses the same. You need code and there is CCTV but I didn't find it safe at all to leave my luggage there. - if you have problems with your legs, be aware you need to climb quite many stairs. I could come here again sometimes. But not at the weekend and not during a high season.
