My child together with several classes of his school spent two nights at your hostel. They were extremely impressed by the interesting activities and the enormous engagement of your team. His whole class (the children and the teachers) were so happy with the experience that they plan to return next year. Thank you very much for enabling them such a happy memory.

As a teacher, I would like to share my positive experiences: The youth hostel scores with an excellent location. It is part of the Augustusburg area, and the pretty little town below with its shopping opportunities can be reached quickly. Far away from traffic, the children can safely use the outdoor area, an outdoor terrace where you can also eat, and an easy-to-use fireplace contribute to the positive impression. The children were enthusiastic about the hiking trails on their doorstep with an unusually large number of well-kept playgrounds. The cable car, the summer toboggan run and the large (free) play area at Rosts Wiesen in the immediate vicinity quickly found enthusiastic users. If you arrive by bus, you can consider the Aquamarine in Marienberg, 25 km away, as an additional attraction.The hostel itself is located in the historic farm buildings. The rooms are generously sized, but they still warm up quickly when needed. The practical interior design appears simple but well-kept, the rooms are friendly and clean. The same applies without restriction to showers and toilets.We had booked half board, the children liked the plentiful, wide range of options, including a warm portion in the evenings.What I found to be very nice: the boss and his colleague were hosts in the best sense of the word. Friendly and approachable, they always struck the right tone with the children and helped us adults with ideas and tips. A nice get-together, the good people of the Arzgebirge.

Very nice, only the parking lot costs 6 euros and our friend's hubcaps were off early, so that could at least be monitored (Kammerrah)

We booked 2 nights/night with good friends because we wanted to explore the area on motorcycles and vintage cars. The hostel is directly adjacent to the castle and is an absolutely excellent place to stay at a top price! Everything was spotlessly clean, very well maintained and properly equipped.The wet areas are spotlessly clean, the rooms are adequately furnished.The super rich breakfast was only topped by the magnificent view over Saxony.The team was absolutely great, really nice people.No wish was left unfulfilled.Stay exactly as you are! Thank you very much.

As a large family, we have already been guests at Augustusburg twice and really appreciate the extremely courteous and friendly staff. You can eat outside on the terrace with a great panoramic view into the distance. There is also a stone grill there. There are dormitories with up to 12 beds and shower and toilet in the hallway, but there are also two, three or four-bed rooms with flat single beds (no bunk beds) with shower and toilet in the room. When you arrive you can use the beautiful historic funicular. The area is nice for hiking and there is a nice outdoor swimming pool nearby.
