Updated 2024/10: Stayed in the 8 bed dorm (Loft) for almost 5 weeks across two years. Recently the bathroom situation has improved, but still a bit lacking. Hair dryer is actually of high quality. Main problem with the dormitory is ventilation. It stinks and feels stuffy most of the time. Opening a window doesn't help much, rather makes it noisy. There's an array of tiny metal lockers of which only few are usable. Own locks cannot be used. Service is non existent with the reception almost always unmanned. No kitchen, microwave or washing machine for guests but a fridge is a welcome new addition. Towel is also included nowadays. I will recommend this place if you're on a budget and don't have much valuables.Tip: Ask the receptionist in the morning for a Füssen Card which enables free public transportation and some other concessions.

Bed is clean. It would be good to offer a towel rack for everyone. Automatic check in system works very well. Practical! Lemon water is free there, thank you very much! The employee there was very nice. …

I liked the "karma bar" trust system for paying for drinks and snacks... The free coffee is really high quality, too... And the music selection playing was top. Comfy rooms and beds: I'd just recommend getting darker curtains as the streetlights outside are quite bright.

We stayed at the hostel as guests for one night in the Royal Expedition Room. The room is very small and has a loft bed. Very nicely designed and completely sufficient to stay overnight. The bathrooms were clean and the lounge was easy to relax in. As cyclists, we unfortunately had no place to park our bikes and had to park them in a side street. We were very happy that the bikes were still there in the morning. The price-performance ratio is considered to be in the upper range for a hostel.

Fully self-service hotel, whether for check-in or for the bar/breakfast. This poses a problem, for example, when leaving suitcases or simply when looking for a little human contact…The private room we booked was a double bunk bed, in which we cooked, without a fan or air conditioning. Shared showers offer no privacy, since the transparent doors face each other (for women), hello promiscuity…The breakfast was good, the building itself is well decorated and the location is really great. It was pretty clean although our room had a weird smell between sweat and bleach.If you're not too picky, you get what you pay for.

Cheap accommodation in the middle of the city.Very nice room and modern ambience in a very narrow old building.The door closer in the room was broken and a sink in the shared shower was out of order, therefore only 4 out of 5 stars in the room rating.
