The hostel is nice and located within walking distance of the bus stop. However, unfortunately there is no WiFi in the rooms and, in my opinion, the table football in a youth hostel could also be free. The food was great and varied for the price, but another drink dispenser would also have been nice as we had to queue for a really long time. The advice on activities was great and, apart from the WiFi, the rooms and toilets are also great. Overall a good youth hostel

We were there for a week. We had a family room with a toilet and shower.During the week a family package was offered with two activities including breakfast and dinner.The breakfast and dinner were very good. But for this kind of package with such high prices they should offer better rooms. The activities offered were only two. Each activity lasted a maximum of three hours.There were no water dispensers. In the evening there was a campfire x EUR 4.50 on offer. The bread was just a strip, plus two marshmallows. I found this very expensive for what they offered as an activity.For what we paid we didn't think the offer was reasonable.

It was our first time with the family in a youth hostel and it was a great experience that we will repeat. Great outdoor area where the children can play. There are activities that are offered and there is something for everyone

I now know various youth hostels and am generally satisfied with this principle. But the hostel in Burgrain was something special. The service is very good and friendly, many offers for families during the summer holidays and the room is also nicer than in many other hostels I have seen.Absolutely recommended for families and groups

We had an enchanting time at the foot of the huge mountains. We immediately felt comfortable in the house. The food was freshly prepared (lots of organic food), great leisure activities (pony tours, herb hikes, night hikes, climbing courses, movie nights, etc.) You could end the evening around the campfire with stick bread and marshmallows.Many thanks to all the lovely employees and keep it up, we'll be backKind regards from the German-Danish borderSönksen family

I spent 2 nights in the youth hostel. We found the garden very nice and the food was ok. It was a nice stay with volleyball and table tennis.

The Burgrain (Garmisch-Partenkirchen) location is simply beautiful in itself. The view of the mountains is gigantic.We, 13 children in a children's choir with a pianist and conductor, had a great rehearsal weekend.- The room facilities are top notch- Cleanliness +++- The entire staff - really everyone - is super friendly and always helpful, at the reception, in the kitchen, the cleaning staff- A broken reading lamp was repaired the same morning after we reported it- The sustainable concept in the kitchen is perfect! It doesn't get any better. Worth mentioning are the drip-free jam, honey and chocolate cream dispensers.- A beautiful outdoor area – a pleasure for young and old- The rehearsal room and the piano left nothing to be desired.We will be back!

The service and the location are great, there is one problem: “Not all rooms have a toilet.” The people or children who are on a school trip come in while you want to do your business.
