Thank you very much for the lovely stay. We were here with the family and received a very friendly welcome. What was wonderful was that we had a shared bathroom as a family. Very friendly hostel mother. Thank you very much.

Hello, I was there recently with my class. The rooms were dirty (bed linen) the buffet only had a small selection and for vegans there was really only one thing that tasted good, everything was okay overall. The rooms were quite okay but everything was full of insects and also in the beds. The employees are all super friendly. The disco was really the best. Outside the building there is a beautiful forest.

Used the hostel as a base for the Kärbholz Heimspiel weekend. Great facility within easy walking distance of the venue. My only complaint is how HARD the beds are.

I had a lot of insects in the room even before I was in there. The staff were unfriendly except for the hostel mother. The food was dry and disgusting I would never go there again. Everyone in my class had nausea or headaches.

The place high on the mountain is not so nice because you have to walk 1km for every little thing. It is also very annoying that iPhones cannot log into the WiFi.

Bottomless. Hair in the food several times, unkempt employees and a “bed” that broke several times. But there was always free café 🥰
