A group of us just spent 3 nights at the Penthouse Backpackers in Osnabruck. We managed to have an 8 bed dorm to ourselves for the whole weekend. We found it clean, the beds were comfortable. As it was so cold, there were 2 nights when rather than be out we went back to the hostel for drinking games and... More

A great find in pretty Osnabruck. More economical than a hotel. Owners: Wonderful Cathy. Very knowledgable about all things in the area. Great advice and very nice. Common Areas: Wireless, bathrooms, nice big kitchen, good common room with tv and books and tables and a huge rooftop deck area. Room: we got a private with 2 beds, a locker, couch,... More

4 of us have just spent 4 nights at the Penthouse. The staff are very friendly but this is overshadowed by the poor room we had and the very uncomfortable beds. Under the beds had never been swept or moped for months and the amount of spider webs on the ceilings and walls made it even more obvious that cleaning... More

sorry that you did not enjoy your stay but even more so as you never mentioned to us that you are not satisfied and with that not giving us a chance to recheck the room. this time of the year with snow and rain we naturally wipe and mop the rooms with every single check out - but not during...

A great place to stay. Lovely people who will accommodate your every need. Very warm, good kitchen, good wifi. Close to the main station too. Only downside is the steps to the third floor - certainly warms you up on a cold day! But you can't complain for the price you pay.

This hostel is super, felt like home. Super hot shower with towel hire. A simple breakfast in the over equipt kitchen. Excellent washing machine and space to wash 4 loads of our bands washing!! Also the icing on the cake has to be the sauna! As well as the genuinely lovely welcome. I would highly recommend this hostel for couples... More

when they say check in hours on the door, it means yo literally can't get into the hostel during the day cost literally no one is there. They don't offer a day baggage facility either, so this place is literally for however long you're checked in for, no more no less. However, kitchen is brilliantly equipped, plenty to do like...

I spent there a couple of days and it was awesome. It was the first hostel during my Euro-trip, where I felt like home. I stayed in the 8bed dorm, which is really huge. There's a small breakfast (toast, jam and coffee) and you feel really safe there. The big roof terrace is just perfect: You can relax, have a... More

I'd recommend this hostal, it's clean, secure, people are friendly, there's a nice kitchen and living room. I especially enjoyed the terrace + it has a good location. For your arrival, mind that the reception is open 8-11 and 16-21h.

Ended up here as I needed somewhere cheap to stay in Osnabruck for a conference... was pleasantly surprised. The location is, as others have mentioned, excellent, ideally placed for transport links and for seeing the town. The rates are reasonable, with a twin room single occupancy only 28 Euro a night, 32 Euro for double, and around 14 for a... More
