This hostel is literally right across the street from the train station. This was our first stop on our trip and after traveling for 12 hours and getting hit hard by jet lag, we were so happy with this location. We were much earlier than we expected to be and the staff was very accommodating. They let us leave our heavy bags with them so we could walk around and explore the city without all of our gear until check in. We opted for the patio room since we knew we would be exhausted from travel and want some quiet space to decompress. It was clean and comfortable. We didn't use the small kitchen in the room but it was nice to have available. The only negative was we were awoken in the middle of the night by people literally shouting and singing at the top of their lungs nearby. It didn't sound or appear to come from people at the hostel itself but it was certainly a trade off for the convenient location. We would stay here again if we returned to the city.

Fantastic stay
Had a great stay in this clean and easy to find Hostel opposite the train station with other transport links nearby and all the major sights walkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of space in the room with lockers and hangers for clothes. The rooms and hostel are cleaned daily too. There is a nice sized fully equipped kitchen for cooking. A breakfast is available for 7 euros between 8-12 am which is very nice. The one negative is if you do not have an ensuite bathroom there are two mens showers and three separate mixed toilets.

No trash can, very slow drain in the bathtub drainage, people besides my room smokes when it is hot outside and no AC I have to rely on opening window. You also need to make a bed yourself. The reception desk no body from 2-5pm. I arrived a bit early than 2 so catch the staff there. No headboard in bed; and there's black stuff on the wall. It is simply disgusting for this price! I will never recommend anyone come to here.

Excellent location and value
This hostel offers excellent value. It's very well located across from the train station. Our private room was comfortable. The shower was excellent. The breakfast was reasonably priced and tasty. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Wurzburg.

Average sleep, some good activities.
A fairly good hostel set up overall. The room was average. Bed was fairly comfortable though no privacy. Lockers were a bit narrow for large bags. Room was kept clean. The communal toilets were OK though rather dirty on one evening. The common area was pleasant and there was very good information for trips in the area. The staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was available for approx 6 Euros but I didn't try it. It looked a little limited.

Entrance up several flights of stairs in what looks like a multi-occupancy office block. Reception is also the bar. Receptionist was pleasant and spoke English, gave us a bundle of sheets, pillowcases, towels and directed us to our room, which was en suite. Biggest asset is - across the road from the railway station from which we had an early start the next day. Wurzburg is a very pleasant city to visit. Would certainly use again in similar circumstances.

Located by the train station and at the edge of the old town, it’s an easy walk to any old town destination. Friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast. I’d recommend a stay here.

Unique young vibe
The concept of the hostel is pretty young and energetic. It encourages young people to travel and to meet others. The shared area: kitchen, dining, common room is quite a relaxing vibe. On the wall, there’s every detail of the hostel own style of deco and design. Breakfast offered was healthy and delicate. I like that it does not have the big chain business style but unique and refreshing. Everything ( cleaningness, tidiness, deco, bathroom) was good. Overall it was a pleasant journey. The only problem was you never know what people you would bump into in the hostel. When we stayed at the hostel, the last day we bumped into a rather old man and he seems a bit sick or in obesity. It’s not that I discriminate old people staying in hostel but it’s just generally hostel would not let in people older than 45 for their health concern. After all, if something happened to them (climbing the bunk bed), it may be a great risk…
