My experience at the hostel was amazing! From the first day, I was warmly welcomed and felt truly at home. The team is wonderful, kind, and collaborative, and the hostel feels like a family. Nhung is calm, respectful, and always ready to help, making the environment pleasant and comfortable. I mainly worked in the kitchen and sometimes as night watch, with everything well organized. The hostel has an excellent breakfast and great facilities. The moments with the team, especially during breakfast, sharing stories and languages, were unforgettable. I highly recommend this hostel!

Staying at AO Weimar is a super experience. Lots of people are coming here so you should never be less than 3 people from my experience which is a good point if you don't want to be alone. About the work there, overall most of time you'll have to help manage the breakfast, it's a little music you'll be used to, being 3 for it is perfect when it's busy. You are constantly active during the shift so you can't really get bored but you are happy when it ends. Overall timings are well respected. Staff members are maybe the best strenght of the hostel. The hostel itself is not awesome to hanging in.

I had wonderful days in Weimar. The city is beautiful, and with the D-Ticket you can travel anywhere, which is truly remarkable. I even went to Pragua in one weekend, so it's very okay. The work is calm, fair, and the people are very kind. The bedroom is good as well I would definitely came back If you have any questions or would like to talk and learn more about these experience feel free to contact me And to the hostel team, thank you so much, it was a pleasure :)

One of the main reasons why my time was amazing are my coworkers and the other world packers. The work atmosphere is cool and you meet people from all over around the world. I am still learning German but I want to mention too this is an amazing space to learn, the native German speakers are really patient with you and always willing to help. Finally, Weimar is a city full of history and it has an special vibe. Charming city and the neighbors cities too.
