Do you mean the Stay and Learn Hostel? It's about half a block north of the train station, across the street from the pub? I've stayed there a few times. Super easy to walk to (even with the ginormous rolly bag), and there is an elevator. Always a bonus in my book. There are lockers so that you…

I didn't get too see too much of Germany during my tour between 1979-1981. I spent most of the time working 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week. Our Air Force unit was undermanned, so we had to work the long hours (at no extra pay, of course).
