At 'Das Hostel,' opinions about the beds are varied, though the prevalent sentiment leans toward the need for improvement, especially concerning stability and noise. A common observation is that the beds are quite squeaky and move a lot, making it difficult for guests to sleep soundly without being disturbed. Additionally, the metal frames of the beds tend to creak with every movement and the top bunk often exacerbates these issues by reacting sharply to the movements of the person below.
Several guests have noted that the mattresses are too soft and saggy, which leads to discomfort. This is compounded by the fact that the beds are somewhat narrow and the dormitories are crowded, making it challenging to find a restful sleep environment. Despite these issues, a significant number of reviewers have mentioned that the beds are comfortable with some highlighting that the pillows also add a touch of comfort to their stay.
Curtains around the beds, although uncommon, were appreciated by those who experienced them, adding a bit of privacy in the shared dormitories. However, the lack of plug sockets for the upper bunks and the small dormitory spaces were noted as inconveniences.
In summary, while 'Das Hostel' beds have garnered some positive comments for their comfort, there are notable concerns about their noise, stability and the overall dormitory setup that the management might need to address to enhance guest satisfaction.
