Staying here at the moment in a triple room.  Absolutely perfect for our needs. Faultless.  Cheap bed for a couple of nights and there is a small bar too!  Thank you.

Close walking distance to good nightlife!  Would stay here again 

Great hostel, cheap, cheerful!  Just what is needed

It's perfect if you want to meet other travellers and be part of a community for a couple or days. Sheets are clean and  smell fresh, the kitchen is very functional and kept clean and the price is ridiculously low.  The showers are not the best, but they are maintained. The location was excellent: 10 minutes from the s-bahn by walk, near lots of bars and restaurants, shops, cafés, etc.  Also, free coffee and tea all day long. The staff is very nice. There is just next door a fabulous breakfast restaurant, mamalicious, best pancakes I had in years. Thanks for the amazing stay!

Exactly what I was looking for

I stayed there 4 nights. It is a very cheap hostel and overall I am very satisfied!  It is not missing anything.The atmosphere is warm and nice. They have a kitchen that everyone can use and a living room where everyone can hang out. While in shower you can almost see each other (they have a high transparency plastic sheets) but it did not bother me much. Just dont look at each other I guess :P The location is good and most of the staff is cool. There is a LIDL just across the road, bars and restaurants very close  and free street parking .

Love the place!

Instant Sleep has several rooms with cool designs and bunk beds. It also has shared bathrooms and showers, a kitchen and a chill section. I spent 2 nights here with three of my friends. It gave us what exactly we were looking for, cheap accommodation with four walls, a roof and some privacy. However, spending more time here might not be that ideal, so I can only recommend this place for real backpackers and travellers.

A great option for backpackers

I spent a weekend here, and while it's a comfortable hostel in an interesting area, the name 'Instant Sleep' doesn't apply on Saturday nights because of the noise from the bar downstairs, punctuated occasionally by sirens. You soon realize why there's an earplug dispenser at reception.
Sunday night was fine, though. The hostel has a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, and the facilities you'd expect, including excellent wifi. Not luxurious, but it attracts a fun-loving crowd and is an enjoyable place to stay if you're in the area.

Good hostel, but 'Instant Sleep'? Not on a Saturday night!

We had a private triple room. the beds were self builded out of wood so there is a lot of space at the bottom bunk up the the upper bunk. The communal area is composed of open kitchens, reception, tables / couches and a kind of small stage. It was a cozy globetrotting athmosphere. There were also many students temporarily staying at the hostel. I guess there are some little music show at the hostel but we did'nt stayed there in the evening. I did not like the bathrooms. Showers, toilets and sinks were all in a single room, no privacy at all and it could have been cleaner. The hostel is perfectly located in the Sternschanze district, a cool alternative scene area. Just a few tram stops away from St. Pauli and the famous Reeperbahn.

Experieance Sternschanze

My bf and I + a group of friends stood here for a few nights. We had 2 private rooms, simple but both very nice and overall clean. Bathrooms are not en suite but that didn’t bother us, they were also nice and clean.
The staff was very very nice and the hostel (it is also an hostel with dorms, but not on the same floor) vibe with private rooms is the right balance. We happened to be there on the owners birthday and they offered pizza and super discounted beers and there was live music.
A not so pleasant thing is that there’s a “club” right next to it and on the weekend you can hear the music at night.

Good position

Avoid at all costs during the weekend - you will be treated to ear-splittingly loud music from 10PM-5AM from the bar below. I tried to cancel my reservation for the second night because the noise was so extreme (way beyond “backpacker hostel noise disturbances” as mentioned on booking.com), but my request was denied by the hostel.

Avoid at all costs during the weekend

Normally I choose my hostels for the area I want to be , near rail stations and connections with city centres... Well, the day I arrived took me nearly 1 hour find the place because is not a good signane or whatever.  Check - in took ages and asked 20 € as deposit for the electronic key but nothing says in website or confirmation e-mail. They give you the sheets to make yourself the bed and explain how everything works. I arrived to my room, AND THE ROOM WAS COMPLETELY OPEN!!!! . The only bed available was one on the top, so when I reached I found earplugs and a packet of tobacco from previous guest, but the receptionist swear to me that EVERYTHING was clean. I removed this two things and made the bed, the sheet was short and doesn´t cover all the mattress and the duvet cover is impossible to put. The linen is too hard and had holes also. 
They give you a key for a small locker where you can put your personal things but in anyway anyone can go inside any room and grab a bag , because there are not cameras and all rooms are open. 
Bathrooms were clean but on my third day we had to share between 3 people 1 sink because the other 3 sinks were used by the cleaning staff with buckets. 
The last night I had headache and I asked politely to remove the music from reception, they put it down and change the kind but didn´t remove. I asked twice and change the kind but not remove. The third time I asked I received from the receptionist a absolutely unpolite and rude "NO", IS THAT HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR GUESTS? I do not think so. 
The area is really noisy with a bar with music til really late, cars driving constantly and buses. 
Avoid this hostel if you can spend a little bit more in another one. 
Never come back and I hope change the management or the manager takes notes about everything I commented before.
