Hilles - Hostel

Its location was quite strategically placed – close to the nearby major tourist areas and also to the residential side of Trier, which meant that a supermarket was just around the corner and food/good easily purchased. I also wandered around the quiet residential neighborhood on my last day to see the other side of Trier, free from the tourists who roamed the center of the city. I definitely approve this location for budget travelers who love wandering off the beaten path yet still able to get to the major spots in the shortest walking distance. However this would not be a suitable choice for first time budget travelers who were not used to a hostel with little amenities and staff support. The hostel was unstaffed most of the time, curious even for a budget accommodation. Its operating hour was unusually short and the whole place almost ran by itself. Do keep in mind that Wifi coverage is bad, so if you are addicted for a connection, you should head to the kitchen area to get connected. I did not use their kitchen except for boiling some hot water but it was clean and well kept (as long as the previous group tidied it up – remember, the place almost ran itself). It was not exactly a spacious area so large gatherings could be quite difficult. On the other hand, the hostel did have a spacious compound that could act as a beer garden if the weather was nice.

Stayed here some years ago but friendly staff, secure overnight parking for my motorcycle. Rooms are basic but clean, and it's cheap enough. Ideal if you want to go sightseeing in Trier but don't want to spend all your money on hotels.

Room was ok, but sheets were stained, and bathroom shower didn't drain very well, but 1 star due to the treatment I received. The place advertises free Wi-Fi, but I wasn't told at reception that I need to get a ticket from them, that can only be done at reception, which closes at 9. So when I came back, no WiFi, and no way of getting the ticket. Their portal let you pay for an account, which I did since I needed internet access. In the morning I asked for a reimbursement and was told that they don't have responsibility for this, I should have asked at checkin if I wanted WiFi and even imparted judgement over how I spend my time, which is unacceptable from a hospitality professional.

Great hostal with friendly staff. The chambers were simple and clean. The sanitary seems new and is also clean.

Pretty good hostel. Some beds are very flimsy and most showers are impossible to control, but if you are looking to explore trier it's perfect.

Basic but clean accommodation. Easy access to town. Very secure and friendly.

Stayed for 2 days. Clean rooms and nice staff. Couldn't ask for more.

Perfect location, clean rooms, comfortable beds.

No wi if was the major downer for this place but otherwise cute and comfortable. Close to the city center as well. Check in was a bit confusing but I think that was mostly due to a language barrier.
