A few years ago I went to the DJH Dessau several times with my club as part of a club meeting and we were all thrilled back then.Now we are regular guests again as a club and the cooperation with the hostel is going well. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms and event rooms are well maintained. Here you can see that the hostel is well maintained.The food is usually a buffet, but above all very good and, in my experience, can easily compete with 4 star hotels.Another plus point: in consultation with the hostel, you also have a lot of creative freedom to implement your ideas.

I gave it 4 stars, but it is a youth hostel as you know it. Clean, nice reception, breakfast sufficient and good. Not a holiday resort but you wouldn't expect that in a youth hostel. We were able to bring the dog with us and had a family room with a terrace so that the dog didn't have to go through the house.

The children who were here from Berlin were very loud. I complained but nothing was done! Were there for 2 days and luckily never again. The rooms were very unclean in most corners and the bathroom was a disaster for me!

What I found most beautiful was the location and the opportunities around it. The playground offers many opportunities to do a variety of things.The seminar rooms are designed in such a way that the walls between them can be opened so that there is no more space for particularly large groups.Food was delicious, the filter coffee was fine. The beds are usually too soft for adults and you quickly get back pain, but I don't know it any differently from youth hostels.

A nice youth hostel near the Dessau Meisterhaeuser. Friendly rooms, some even with a terrace in the colors of the Bauhaus color palette. The breakfast was very good...good selection and there was enough of everything. The youth hostel team was friendly and helpful. The youth hostel is recommended.

Nice youth hostel, nice staff. Unfortunately, the breakfast was poor with hardly any choice, even for a youth hostel. In addition, the mattresses are so hard that it is very difficult to sleep. There are also small windows that ensure that the air stays in the room.

Clean and quiet youth hostel. The quality of the food is in the upper average of youth hostels. Quiet location in the countryside not far from the city, the master villas and the granary. The youth hostel is a very good starting point for trips by car in the surrounding area.
