Let's face it, it's a simple youth hostel.Toilet (unfortunately the gentlemen only had 1 toilet, the second one was broken) and shower in the hallway.Everything was always very clean.The location in the NS Documentation Center is perfect for long hikes through the Eifel National Park.Of course a tour is mandatory. As a guide we had a Belgian (thanks again for the great and informative tour), who himself worked in the barracks (after the war).

Never been worse accommodated.Rooms are tinyVery loud, noisy throughout the building.Breakfast for 11.50 euros, outrageous given the offer.In general the price is set way too high. Of course the location is crucial for the price and yes it is a youth hostel, but there has to be more.
