NO FIVE STAR HOTEL
We are a cozy, simple, nice, and heartful little hostel for backpackers, but no 5 star hotel.
So don't expect too much:
Especially people from Main Land china or often not aware, that this is one of the cheapest accomadations in town. Then they come, expect for 10 a 3 star hotel and are very demanding, which make us upset.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
This hostel is especially designed for single travellers,
who like to meet other people on their trip.
I personally would more prefer to meet interesting intellectuals and students of arts or philosophy,
rather than a more ransom crowd,
who haven't much else in mind than drinking beer and smoking dope all day.
The latter is in any case strictly forbidden inside,
and even in front of the door,
since dope is not legal in Germany.
People consuming drugs in our premises get kicked out
immediately with no refund..
D A V I D ' S special interests:
Anthropology, South-East Asia,India & Indonesia,
Film-Making, Theatre & Film,
and all sorts of adventures in Africa or Asia,
and Gay man, to some extent.
David speaks German, English, some French, Arabic and Indonesian
Vegetarians who cook for us get discounts,
especially when they join there food with David,
who loves Vegetarian Food !
Dan from Israel with his yummy vegetarian & kosher food is still in good memory.
Special discounts available for bicycle repairers, you could maintain our always damagded bicycle armada.
Extra cookies for bally dancers, guitar players,
Japanese singers and magicans !
We can`t wait to see you soon.
