The location is very convenient and it's not that far away from the city center. Moreover, it's close to Darmstadt's historical places (Hochzeit-Turm for example). This youth hostel is really very ideal for weekend seminars. The rooms are clean and the staff is super friendly .They also offer a good range of vegetarian and vegan options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the food is tasty too!!

Good location. In particular if you want to explore the eastern outskirts of Darmstadt, like Mathildenhöhe and Oberfeld and surrounding forests. Also just a 10 minute walk to the city center. Clean house and rooms. Super friendly staff. …

Appalling state of the room: smell of toilet and drains on arrival; short circuit after 11pm that pitched the room into darkness for the rest of the night; no emergency phone number or overnight service available. Upper range Hotel prices at € 58 per person per night for low hostel standard.

The staff was very nice , the rooms were comfortable, they had separated the toilet and the shower with both having a wash basin. The breakfast was good , can't say anything about lunch or dinner as I never had it at hostel. The hostel is situated beside a lake and you can see it from some of the rooms, you can swim , boat etc in the lake.

I stayed at this Youth Hostel for a long weekend, for a meeting with colleagues from various other countries. I have previously stayed in the Frankfurt youth hostel a couple of times and this had a similar good standard of cleanliness.  …

This hostel is at a top location, not far from Darmstadt Castle and city center, right on a kind of lake serving as a natural swimming pool in summer. …

Cost friendly. For a small annual fee, you can use the youth hostel worldwide. The breakfast was a little disappointing. Nonetheless, perfect for travellers, backpackers, somebody looking for an economical stay. The people at the reception were super friendly. Full marks for hospitality. :)

26€ in a shared room. Very clean modern, full signal Internet. And very easy to walk to the city centre. Plus it is next to a lake, so when there is nice weather. It is easy to go sunbathing.

The rooms were pretty good although there aren't enough plucks. An advantage is that every room has a shower and its own toilet. The food is the typical average Jugendherberge stuff
