Superbude St Pauli super hostel in Hamburg

Superbude (bude stands for “digs” in German), delivers a concept in affordable travel accommodation full of local sprite. The Superbude St.Pauli hotel/hostel is located in a neighbourhood of Hamburg full of bars and music venues. The hotel/hostel features stackable beds by Rolf Heide that allow a third of the 89 double rooms to sleep up to four guests - they also furnish the Rockstar Suite, which sleeps seven beneath a flip-up performance stage. The playful interiors, designed by Armin Fischer of Dreimeta, cleverly blend the outlandish with the contemporary: walls are covered in newspaper and Konstantin Gricic’s ‘Mayday’ lamps hang from goal-netting headboards (references to St Pauli’s cult football club). This former telephone exchange is one of many repurposed old buildings that mark Schanzenviertal's current gentrification. The streets outside are now buzzing with new galleries and bars

Dreimeta were responsible for also designing this second Superbude hotel/hostel after the success of the first. The St Pauli location follows their other St Georg location, and shares its distinctive eclectic design. The characteristic rope pattern motiff is viewable everywhere, printed in the carpet and laser burnt on the wooden panels. The alternation of actual rope hanging (pointing towards Hamburg as a port city), and the wall decors serve to reconnect Hamburg as a musical city.
