Meininger Hotel Bremen Hauptbahnhof

Good place for families and school classes, but not for solo travellers staying in dorms. Might be okay for a night, and that's what many people did there. The key advantage of this place is the proximity to the train station and Flixbus stop (right outside the door). But, this place needs to decide if it wants to be a budget hotel, student accommodation, or hostel. I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm. The room was very small; there was no storage space. There were 4 small lockers, the type typically used in kindergartens. They will hold a laptop and a few small items, but nothing more. Bring your own padlock. The lockers looked like anybody could kick them open, so I had to rent one of the secure lockers downstairs for 5 EUR per day. You need to renew the lease each day, which is annoying because you need to keep track of when your 24-hr rental expires. There is no way to keep the same locker to avoid moving your belongings each day (you will be assigned a different one, even though yours is technically available) or to rent it for more than 24 hours. The room had a bunk bed and 2 single beds, a little desk, a TV, and an ensuite bathroom. Ensuites work well for families, but not strangers who have different schedules. Ultimately, the first one to get up and last one to go to bed will wake up the whole room. There is no way around it. The two single beds were so close together that it seemed like sharing a double bed with a stranger and on occasion you may actually have their feet in your bed. Not great. The room was also incredibly filthy and smelled of BO, vomit, and curry. The international student living there had her clothes all over the place and dirty underwear on the towel drying rack in the bathroom. Once she moved out, the smell disappeared with her. Cleaners should monitor this. Up until the girl moved out, I assumed the cleaners didn't clean... There were also a couple of occasions when I found dirty footprints on my bed and long, black hair in my bed - I'm blonde. It looks like somebody was using my bed while I was out and about. Staff kindly gave me fresh sheets. Getting any sleep was difficult at this place due to the type of people staying there and new guests arriving late at night. Phones were going off at all times at night, people watching TV on their laptops until 3 am without using headphones, or lights being left on all night. A suggestion to the hotel here: Update your house rules to address hygiene and remind students of quiet times, or place them in separate rooms, as is done in other hostels. Travellers and students have different needs and both would be happier sharing a room with like minded people. As for the social aspect of the place, there was no vibe there. Definitely more of a hotel than hostel. For travellers, there were a few useful facilities, such as a small kitchen with a microwave, kettle, and cooking area. There is also a washer and dryer downstairs, but the washer is not cleaned regularly, meaning it's smell

Great hotel, nothing fancy but everything you need! Very clean and extremely safe with features like having to swipe your room key to use the elevator or access the stairs. Amazing location for walking to the Market Square. We had a rental van and were worried about parking, however there is an enclosed parking garage directly behind the hotel for 5 EUR per day! When we checked in a gentlemen named Ian was working and he deserves 5 stars! He was extremely helpful to us with finding restaurants, tips about walking around Town and lots of other great information. We were a party of 7 traveling and we rented a quad room and a triple room and we had plenty of space for everyone. If we ever find ourselves in Bremen, Germany again, we will absolutely stay here again.

Perfect facilities, great stuff, especialy Damir! We will come back for sure when passing by. Great breakfast, nearby parking, everything clean and modern equiped with all neceasary things. This hotel is amazing! Great view also from the top floors.

Check in went very well, quick and simple and the rooms were ready early. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Bathroom big and spacious with a good size shower. However .... TV didn't work (reported and nothing anyone could do to fix it, offered a free drink!) From 12 to 2 am school children (teens) running from room to room on our floor and the one above. Breakfast... € 10.50... 200 children plus others in a 60 seater dining room... No space and no food left, told at 9am it would be 30 to 40 mins before the food and plates cups ect wold be replenished. Received a refund as we couldn't wait . Won't return
