So convenient to be in the heart of the city, I almost tripped over cobblestones on my way to the hostel! The staff were such a delight, they must have taken a masterclass in charm.

Lockers? Who needs 'em! It's so freeing to have my belongings on display for all my roommates.

Great Location and Atmosphere! The hostel is perfectly situated in the heart of Nijmegen, just a stone's throw away from the bustling Grote Markt. The lively ambiance of the city center is mirrored in the shared living room and roof terrace, where fellow travelers gather to share stories and laughter. It feels like being in the middle of a vibrant cultural fair!

Noisy Nights. Late-night hallway chatter can be a bit disruptive due to the thin walls.

As young families, we found the location of the hostel perfect for exploring the city center and enjoying peaceful walks along the river Waal. The staff, especially a friendly girl at the check-in, were always ready to help and made our stay enjoyable. The reasonably cheap price made it ideal for budget travelers.

Felt right at home, no complaints at all.

The staff was friendly and helpful, great location for exploring the city and river, budget-friendly price, comfy beds.

Nothing, it is perfect.

The value for money at Barbarossa was great, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Hotel breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

We had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The staff was extremely accommodating and flexible, allowing us to switch to a different dorm room without any trouble. The owner went above and beyond, creating personalized maps for guests and recommending the best places to visit based on their interests. The hostel was very clean, with daily cleaning services. We particularly loved the spacious showers and the well-equipped kitchen. The location was perfect, right in the center of the city. The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy, thanks to the bracelet key system.

Couldn't find any faults at all.

The room had a cozy seating area which made me feel right at home. I loved that there was a shared kitchen where I could cook my own meals. The shared living room and roof terrace were great spots to relax and meet other guests. The private room had two comfortable single beds. It was convenient to have access to the shared bathroom facilities.

Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the shared bathroom setup.

We had a great stay at Barbarossa! the hostel was clean and the beds were comfortable, with sheets provided. While the lockers were not enough for everyone, it wasn't a big issue as not everyone used them. the kitchen and coffee facilities looked fine, although we didn't get a chance to try them. the staff was friendly and the hostel had a calm atmosphere. the garden and balcony were lovely, and the showers were nice too. The location was perfect, with easy access to the city center. Cons: Nothing, all was good 👍.

During our romantic escape, we absolutely loved the central location of the hostel.

We really appreciated his helpful insights. the hostel had a charming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

One aspect that we didn't particularly enjoy was the size of the dormitory. It felt a bit small and cramped, especially if all the bunks were occupied.

Conveniently located with a spacious living room, comfortable beds and clean washrooms. Terrace is a nice spot for relaxation. Close to amenities and provides secure access to the building and room.

I stayed at Hostel Barbarossa for a weekend getaway. The location was central, making it easy to explore the city. The hostel was always clean, thanks to the dedicated volunteers who run the place. The staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there was even a kettle for making tea. The communal areas provided a comfortable space to socialize with fellow guests. The hostel offered great value, beating Airbnb prices. Late check-in until 10pm was a convenient option.

I do recommend this hostel.
