There were no play equipment for children (e.g. table tennis tables)There is also almost nothing to play indoors when the weather is bad outside.At most you can play catch, but you're not allowed toIt was relatively dirty and worn out 😐The toilets weren't clean either.However, the food was delicious

I was at the boys' hostel with a class. It was very bad there, showers were transparent, toilets were dirty, pillows, blankets, mattresses and sheets with lots of stains. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I think it's bad that there is hardly any internet there and the rooms are very small and the ceiling in room number 15 had a moldy stain. I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend the youth hostel to others.

Location is on a hill! Otherwise everything was great, unfortunately only one socket in the room, otherwise there is nothing to complain about.

The location of the youth hostel is wonderful, right in a mountain but that doesn't detract from it. The outdoor area is very spacious with a volleyball field and a playground. There are enough tables and benches where you can hang out. Directly opposite you can see the Kaiser Wilhelm monument. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We only had breakfast - it was very good and plentiful with a large selection. However, the room was far too small for me and my daughter. We lived out of a suitcase for 3 days. There wasn't enough storage space. The bunk bed squeaked and creaked with every movement. At the top of the bed there was neither a place to put glasses, for example, nor a light. There were 2 pictures of wine bottles hanging there, which made no sense. The room didn't work at all.
