The Eifelmaar Youth Hostel in Daun is a great place for a relaxing stay in the Vulkaneifel. The location is beautiful – in the middle of nature and close to the maars, perfect for hikes and excursions. The rooms are clean and functional, ideal for families, groups or solo travelers. The food is varied and tasty, and there is always a good selection, including for vegetarians. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly team, which is always helpful and welcoming. A perfect base for exploring the Eifel – absolutely recommended!

Beautiful JH located just outside of the city. Makes a very neat and clean impression. Unfortunately something went wrong when we checked in and we left before our planned overnight stay. Therefore I only give it 3 stars. But we would like to try it again.

Unfortunately our room was infested with mold and the breakfast wasn't particularly good.

I arrived there with a group of pilgrims, it was a bit restless. There were at least 30 of us. Rooms were good. We have had completely different experiences at other YOUTH HOSTELs.Of course the staff is overwhelmed, who wants to take care of unfriendly "guests"? They tried hard to help us in every situation. There are enough hotels in the area, but the prices are different. Want to pay little but demand 5 stars.The food was of course not worthy of Michelin stars, it was simple, warm, and you could even get "second helpings".We had the conference room for our prayers and cozy get-togethers.We'll be back.

Beautiful youth hostel, great outdoor area, completely overwhelmed staff and very bad dinner. Everything out of the bag. Breakfast is good

I can only recommend this youth hostel!The location by the forest makes the youth hostel pleasantly quiet (the staff can't do anything for teachers who don't have their school classes under control - however, the teachers were asked about the behavior of their students by the staff on the second day, so that's another plus point for them the management)My room was quite small, but very modern and tastefully designed, completely sufficient for sleeping - you don't really need anything else on vacation.There is only a limited amount of storage space, but it is sufficient for a few days.Each room is equipped with a bathroom and shower, which I personally like very much.I was pleasantly surprised by the food - I didn't necessarily expect such a large selection in a youth hostel.It's worth booking half board.Every evening there is a buffet with salad, soup, various dishes - also vegetarian or vegan, bread, cold cuts and dessert.The selection at the breakfast buffet is also absolutely sufficient. Including fruit and vegetables and various hot drinks.Since almost all the guests left on Sunday, I was in the youth hostel in the evening with two other guests, but everyone received a bowl of salad, a cup of soup, a large portion of casserole and dessert. For breakfast on Monday, there was one plate each for the three of us Prepared with plenty of cold cuts, vegetables and even 2 boiled eggs.Thank you again for that!WiFi runs smoothly throughout the house.The bistro is cozy, a good selection of drinks (and snacks) at very fair prices.The only negative point: the floor of my room had not been swept/vacuumed properly when I arrived.But that's the only negative thing I could say about this youth hostel...I would come back at any time.

Me and my class were at the youth hostel in Daun. The children's rooms were really bad, there was food under the blankets and wet mattressesAnd we could hardly sleep because we were screaming all night long and the view wasn't as nice as the pictures. We won't go there again.

Very nice and accommodating hosts, we had booked half board and the food was good and very varied as a buffet.We had a 4-bed room, which was cozy and cramped but completely fine.The location is ideal for a tour on the Maare Moselle cycle path or to the nearby Maar.In the wider area there is also a bobsleigh run, a large animal park, a cold water geyser and the Nohner waterfall within striking distance. We ourselves were on the hiking trail of the year 2023 in Bad Bertrich (waterfall adventure route).It's a bit of a stretch into the city, but here you can also take a little gate to get to the converted railway line and take a shortcut.It was a great stay, our 3 year old daughter didn't want to leave.See you again soon when we want to hike in Manderscheid.

This youth hostel was really very dirty! There were dead ants everywhere, even in the bed. It was so disgusting we got bitten all over the night because there were so many mosquitoes. The hygienic conditions in the bathroom were just as disgusting, the shower was already starting to form mold and the smell was unbearable.

We stayed in this youth hostel over the weekend. The rooms were absolutely clean. Half board was also worth it. The food for dinner and breakfast, including drinks, was very good. There was enough salad and fresh fruit. All the staff were super friendly to us and the children. The playground, play areas and toys are great for the children.So we would go there again and again.

It was a very nice youth hostel but there was mold on the windows in the rooms and the food didn't work at all.

5 star youth hostel. There was really nothing missing. The breakfast buffet was great and sufficient. There were also scrambled eggs on Sunday. Delicious rolls, cold cuts, cheese and jams. Also cereal, etc. We booked a packed lunch, which also worked great. Dinner on Friday and Saturday was great. What might be missing a little in the evening is a drink with flavor, there was only water or water with lemon (if you like it). Our room was in a separate area and was modern. Space was good, bathroom a little, but everything was fine. Mattresses were large and comfortable. WiFi throughout the building. Playroom for the kids, play area near the dining room. A large playground outside. Really great. There are enough parking spaces available. So everything fit here. We will probably see each other again.

We stayed at this youth hostel with a class from a special school. The rooms were very clean, the food was great and the friendliness of the staff was excellent.The only reason to complain is that other school classes were very loud, especially at night. The youth hostel can't do anything about it, but they still worked to ensure a night's rest.

A great youth hostel at unbeatable prices. The rooms are small but sufficient for sleeping. The breakfast is okay. There is a minimum of what you need for breakfast. All in all we were very satisfied. We'll be back.

Were there with two small children. The room was not a family room but was very nice (newly renovated) and well equipped. The whole house was in very good condition, the staff was very nice, the food was good and the outdoor area was also great for the little ones. The fact that you were then allowed to charge the car for free (dear youth hostel, I would of course pay for that too!!) rounded off the positive impression.We'd love to come back.
