The Experience

The job is way simple: it is mainly keeping the guests satisfied by socializing and generally be around and offer help and knowledge to our Guests. It mainly means to do our Hostel Events, like doing the BBQ on Monday, cook the Vegetarian Free Dinner on Sunday and Wednesday. Also our Volunteers help us with the breakfast. In low season during wintertime we need some simple help with the nightshifts.

The hostel is Just a big family ❤️ All the staff Is super, they make sure that everything is okay and that you feel home. They also give you a lot of advices about where to go in Dresden! The work is easy, is mostly about mantaining a social atmosphere: organize events for the guests and cook for them twice a week. You have a lot of free time!! The other volunteers were amazing, I met a lot of nice and lovely people. I'm really glad that my first experience as a volunteer was in the hostel, it's one of the best experiences in my life ❤️ Totally reccomend It!!!

The experience at the hostel was amazing. The team is very nice, and they're always worried that you're well with the tasks and activities. The breakfast is really good as well. The work itself is not very hard and it's quite flexible. You can also have time to explore the city and sorroundings. It is also a great opportunity to practice your English and German with the guests. I would definitely recommend volunteering here.

The hostel is a magical place, I have never met such kind people and felt so welcomed so quickly. The hostel itself is adorable, warm and cozy and very close to anything you could need in the city, the staff/hosts are exceptional, and the tasks we were assigned were simple and fun. This is the perfect place to volunteer, especially if you're new to it! I loved my time at the hostel so so much 💘 thank you all!

My experience at the hostel was amazing. It was my first time volunteering and I was a little nervous, but everyone was very nice and I really felt at home. The working hours are short which gave me time to get to know Dresden and travel to nearby cities. Also the activities you do at the hostel helped me to learn more about the local culture and connect with other travelers. I simply had a lot of fun. All the staff at the hostel are very sweet, martin and julianne were always concerned about making us feel good and at home. I would definitely recommend this place to volunteer.

My time at the hostel has been truly amazing! The staff are so friendly, and kind. They all welcomed me with open arms, and I felt at home immediately. The space is very homey, comfortable and warm (it's probably the best hostel of all time), located in a great neighborhood. The tasks mostly include hosting events for the hostel guests, which was lovely, because I had the opportunity to meet lots of interesting people from all over the world. I would do it all over again if I could! Thank you so much for everything Martin! I recommend the hostel ten times over.
