Everything is fine, except that there is no proper lunch, the showers are absolutely disgusting and the first aid kit (the only thing in the house) consists of plasters and a glove...

Room 002 has a loft bed which is very dangerous as it can hit you with every movement 😑 very uncomfortable and painful

I am aware that the concept offers a cheap place to stay and that you cannot expect hotel standards. The price-performance ratio is also generally good.The house is rather older and the rooms are therefore not up to date.Sanitary area is also not modern but kept clean and in good condition.We were there on a pretty hot weekend. Unfortunately, our room got quite hot during the day and at night we couldn't get the heat out, even though the window was open. Therefore, the nights were quite drenched in sweat (which may also be due to the rubber cover of the mattresses).Speaking of open windows: Unfortunately, there was also a football team staying there over the weekend, which didn't observe the quiet time after 10 p.m. on both days. Since our room was at the front and the troops still felt the need to smoke and talk, our night's sleep was disturbed.We recommend that every guest request a room at the back.Breakfast buffet was sufficient and well stocked.The lounges are modern and homely.The garden and outdoor play area invite the children to linger and run around.There are sufficient parking spaces in front of the door.

At first I was skeptical because it reminded me of my previous school trips! But all my prejudices were dispelled, except for the bunk beds it had the character of a hotel! The staff and the manager were so friendly and helpful, really incredibly great! The breakfast and dinner buffets also exceeded my expectations! A thousand thanks to everyone!The DJH is located directly on the Ü Weg (crossing the Alps)! But ATTENTION, don't walk all the way to Kreuth, then you'll have to walk back a bit and that's not necessary!!! Turn right over the bridge at the Weissachalm!

My daughter was thrilled about her stay at the Kreuth youth hostel. She liked the food, found it fresh and, as a vegetarian, had a good selection. She felt very comfortable in the room. The incredibly nice team also helped us a lot when she forgot her favorite necklace! Overall great, big praise!

Our family of 4 decided to try our first „family“ hostel & we were glad we did. They offered breakfast & dinner buffet, and dinner had a cool theme each night for kids. …

I have been to this youth hostel several times now and have always been thrilled. The food is amazing and cannot be compared with youth hostel food from other youth hostels because it is absolutely delicious. The rooms are also very nice and clean and overall the youth hostel is nice and clean. The staff is also very nice. :)

We booked a package holiday for New Year's Eve as a family.We were so excited because we really had an “all-round carefree package”. We had a great breakfast buffet, soup and cake for lunch, as well as a different themed buffet every evening, which was incredibly tasty.There was also a carriage ride, a torchlight hike and a campfire.The youth hostel is well maintained and really is a dream for the children. There was no boredom and the toys we brought with us were not needed. We really had a very relaxing few days.It was our first stay in a youth hostel, but definitely not our last.

Great youth hostel with very good breakfast and dinner. The supporting program for the children is also appealing: torchlight hike, carriage ride, New Year's Eve bonfire and more. You can rent a sleigh to go sledding on the Wallberg. In the house itself you can use the sauna, you can play billiards, table tennis and table football. If there is little snow, you can ski to Achenkirch or Fügen.
