The most extreme transformation to date has happened in Hamburg, where an old sorting office is now a hostel-hotel hybrid – meaning double rooms start at 60Euros a night. Called Superbude II, it’s following in the footsteps of the first Superbude, which is also in Hamburg.
With its self-service kitchen that offers “a hangover breakfast after partying” and the suite with a stage for impromptu jams, Superbude II is clearly aiming at the young and energetic who want to hang out in the Schanze district.
