I was there with my extended family for a weekend. Meanwhile there was a group of youth there who were a bit loud, but that's hard to avoid.Room: Clean, but simple and unfortunately few power sockets. Unfortunately, the mattresses feel like prison beds (narrow and thin).The common room was sufficient for about 25 people.Food: Was great, delicious salad bar and good selection.Location: Many leisure activities in the area. Quiet location.All in all 4/5 stars.

We were in the youth hostel from June 2nd, 2023 to June 4th, 2023 with 140 motorcyclists. The service is friendly and helpful and it was always ensured that everything was plentiful at mealtimes. The youth hostel itself is getting a bit old, so a renovation would definitely be good. The beds are also past their best. The youth hostel is in an idyllic, quiet location on the outskirts of Pottenstein, but if you want to go down into the town you will need a vehicle. It's okay for 2-3 nights but I don't want to stay longer.

We were here with our primary school and were greeted very friendly. The hostel is very clean and spacious. The outdoor area and the surrounding area offer numerous opportunities for leisure and programming. The day rooms and the dining room are bright and friendly. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were happy to fulfill short-term change requests. The food is always fresh, varied (also for vegetarians) and prepared in organic quality and we all enjoyed it very much. The youth hostel offers a wide range of options for schools and groups. The climbing and bouldering program was the absolute highlight for the students. The teachers are particularly pampered in the hostel and are given a small snack in the kitchen in the evening. I've never heard of this before in any school camp. The stay here is highly recommended and we would have liked to stay a few more days. Next time then. 👍🏻

I was there with my class, we were eating and we didn't have enough space. The kitchen lady then made a fool of us and we answered back normally and were still hit on stupidly. The reception is very ned but the kitchen staff needs to be worked on.
