We offer the best service for the lowest prices for city breaks, students, business trips, backpackers, students, groups of young people, families, school groups, globetrotters and the young at heart.
It’s easy to reach the trade fair grounds by public transport, and the main station is visible from the hostel. The Sleepy Lion Youth Hostel, Hotel and Apartment complex was the first backpacker hostel in Leipzig, and one of the first hostels in the whole of Germany.

Our hostel is a real alternative to the usual German Youth Hostel Association (DJH) hostels.
We look forward to meeting you. |
