This is the absolutely most horrible place I've ever been. Firstly, in these crappy rooms there are 2 sockets which makes no sense at all, then you don't have WiFi in these disgusting rooms just like that. Breakfast is quite standard and doesn't bother you. Dust everywhere. Service dead. Community toilets horrible. Never leave money there for no reason again. I absolutely can't recommend going anywhere else. I've only been here for a day and I already want to leave

If you want to describe disgusting you've come to the right place. We got to our room and there were spiders in every corner. Breakfast includes very few things and the shared showers and toilets are the end of it. The doors didn't close properly (slits) so the noise inside could also be heard outside in the hallway.

Bad service, dirty rooms and ale is generally very run down. If there is a small stain on the slightly raccoon rubber cover, you have to pay €15.

Absolutely dirty. We had to pay €15 because there was a chocolate stain on the cover, but we ourselves had a booger on the duvet cover.

The location of the hostel is nice even though it is right on a very busy road.Unfortunately, the showers on the third floor are absolutely unusable and the rooms are small, as is the window. It's barred and in the summer it's hard to ventilate and is super stuffy and hot. Some devices (like the lamps above the bed) are partly broken and there are 3 sockets in a room of 6 which doesn't make sense from the front picture.The food there was quite pleasant. The bedding is also fine.The staff wasn't noticeable or even unfriendly.The area is very beautiful and worth it, unfortunately the youth hostel is not…

Wow, what an experience! If you are looking for a hostel where you can stay awake all night without being disturbed by annoying things like sleep, then you have come to the right place! The beds offer the perfect squeak with every movement, creating an authentic soundscape. Plus, the staff are amazingly invisible - you'll never have to bother them because they're simply not there!The shower was a real challenge for anyone who thinks hot water is overrated. Who needs hygiene when you can experience the exhilarating feeling of ice-cold water instead?The roommates in the shared room were also an asset. It's much more sociable when no one pays any attention to sleeping times and everyone loudly shares their nightly adventures in the room.The best thing about breakfast? The creative selection! Who would have thought that bread without spread could be such a culinary discovery? A must for anyone who really wants to disappoint their taste buds.All in all, a wonderful place for everyone who longs for an unforgettable night that they are guaranteed not to oversleep. Can't wait to never come back!

The breakfast was okay, but nothing more. Very unloving. The worst thing was the man at the reception, very unfriendly and rude. Otherwise the hostel is fine. But like everywhere else, things depend on the staff.

I expected the worst, but it was actually quite nice. There are very large and smaller rooms. All shared rooms if you are a school class and are a student. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was also very tasty. There were rolls, toast and bread as well as something savory and sweet. The coffee was good and there were also cocoa and teas. I would recommend the hostel. The only drawback is 3 sockets in the 6-bed room and only WiFi on the ground floor as the building is a listed building.

Hello my dear readers, looking for a noble place to stay for a less expensive excursion to Weimar. For the most part I would advise against this place, but since I've learned to always start with something positive, I do. The location, end. The less pleasant thing was the food, or eating, as they call it. At least there was a warm dinner, but it was served with a sauce that originally tasted like Curry King sauce, but doesn't go well with chicken and mashed potatoes. The rooms weren't as dirty as all of mine, but the two sockets in the 6-person room gave me psychological damage. There was only limited Wi-Fi and when it was, it was slower than the one white man in the Olympic sprint. Beds were tolerable, only my duvet had a strange yellow stain.PS The name sounds like a butt bag and describes the place very well. Health department please raze this place.

The rooms and sanitary facilities are fine, although a lot of things are broken and therefore no longer work or work. In addition, 3 sockets in a 6 room are not that efficient and the light only works to a limited extent. Unfortunately you have to pay 2 euros for a roll that you want to take with you (1 roll), which is very cheeky since you already pay a hefty flat rate for breakfast. The staff is quite unfriendly and they like to show it. If many schools or general public institutions did not cooperate with this hostel, it would no longer exist (which would be better) due to the poor service and the very poor and non-functional equipment.

Been there and here are my impressions.Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this hostel. The rooms were dirty and poorly maintained, there was an unpleasant smell and the beds were very uncomfortable. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. In addition, it was extremely loud at night, making it difficult to sleep. The breakfast was bland and of low quality. Overall, I would definitely not recommend this youth hostel.Ps= Youth hostel should be demolished.Best regards

Solid youth hostel in Weimar. Relatively close to everything, but no WiFi in the rooms, which was announced but I still found it weak.

- 2 sockets for 6 people- extremely unfriendly staff- Breakfast neither tasty nor selection, for vegetarians or vegans even worse- WiFi only on the ground floor- Toilets are difficult to ventilate and only 2 for the entire corridor- Either ventilate or sleep at night due to noise from the street+ is reasonably close to the city center

Overall a pretty good facility, I can't really understand the other reviews. Sure it's not luxury but everything is within walking distance. However, the breakfast is to be complained about because it lacks quality. The staff is quite friendly, the rooms were also quite okay apart from the fact that there are only two sockets and there are only shared showers and toilets. Still completely satisfactory.

I came specifically from the USA to visit Weimar. My experience here was so bad, I wouldn't even wish it on my rat sister. It's a shame that there isn't a 0-star option... After you've already paid for breakfast, you still have to pay €2 per roll that you take to your room. Really crazy. And for that price you would think you would get good bed linen. The mysterious spots and holes meant otherwise. Don't even get me started on the curtains. They were completely entrenched and looked like they were moldy. It's nice that you can't open some windows. I mean, who needs ventilation in a toilet where 20 men are pooping. If you go on a school trip here, I really feel sorry for you. You were really unlucky and I wish you luck in surviving 🙏
