Unfortunately our room wasn't cleaned when we arrived. Not okay for the steep price.

Classic youth hostel with a great team. The location of the house is ideal for various types of activities and also for arrival and departure by train, bicycle or car. The rooms are mostly real school camp rooms with washing facilities, shared bathrooms and bunk beds. Several seminar and lounge rooms are available for guests.

We've been waiting outside the door for 30 minutes because no one works in this wonderful youth hostel or at least doesn't feel responsible for letting us into the house

I personally don't think it's that great, our room didn't have a toilet or shower. Service wasn't exactly great either. However, the location is nice.

Family reunion with 22 people on a rainy weekend, no problem, central location, city tour with umbrella possible, meeting room rented as a central meeting point/lounge, barbecue under the arch of the bridge, play facilities in the house, e.g. table tennis and table football.The youth hostel was clean. Sanitary rooms were cleaned several times (the only disadvantage was that there were no rooms with bathrooms for us, so we had to use the bathrooms and toilets with other people).Dog was allowed, great!Food great.The service and friendliness of the operators and employees was uniquely nice, courteous, helpful, accommodating, supportive, I have rarely met employees with so much passion for their youth hostel, you are really world class! Keep it up! I wish the entire team all the best.Your Frank from Lake Constance
