Misleading and uncomfortable stay

Bathrooms are inadequate: only one toilet and two showers with see-through doors, offering no privacy and no place to put clothes except the wet floor. Early check-in or luggage storage was refused with the excuse that rooms “take the full time to clean & sanitize,” which is simply not true. Bunk beds are uncomfortable for adults, forcing us to wake each other climbing down at night. The illuminated exit sign glowed all night inside the room. No coat racks or towel racks, yet a pointless decorative globe stood in the corner. There is no guest kitchen and checkout is an unusually early 10 a.m. Overall, very inconvenient, poorly designed, and not worth the money.

Pretty good hostel. The only “issue” did not have a drawer or closet in my bedroom, other than that was pretty good, clean.

I had a fantastic stay here!! It was self check in, so I didn't have to worry about my train being late and could come in at 11pm fine. The staff in the morning was extra friendly and great to chat with. Bed was super comfy. Plenty of room in toilet and shower area. I usually don't do great with top bunks, but the ladder up was super easy to climb! Overall had a fantastic stay!

It is my first time in a hostel, so I really have no point of comparison. The rooms were nice and they were clean, and everyone was quiet at night. I did wish there was more elbow room in the bathroom. The 6-digit code you sent me to open the front door didn't work for me. I punched it in and nothing happened. I didn't see an Enter key on the keypad - there was only Clear and Backspace. I tried entering it again a couple of times, carefully checking that I was entering it accurately, then finally I knocked on the window and someone let me in.

This is an absolutely fantastic hostel, very high standard and always recommend! If I had one suggestion it would be to make the men's and women's bathrooms more clearly signed because women kept walking into the men's shower room while in there! 😅

Good little hostel in the middle of Füssen. We stayed in the King of Dreams suite with a double bed. Very small room but it worked for a short stay. At first we didn’t know if our door to our room locked but eventually we realized we were to grab our key from the downstairs, would like if this was included in the check in instructions with all the other info. There is a separate male and female washroom. Female washroom had one toilet and two showers. Personally wish there were two toilets but that’s not something you can change easily. Overall was decently clean and felt safe. Unfortunately the neighbouring house has a loud bird that squawks a lot, made it hard to sleep but that’s not the hostels fault, but maybe something to consider if you are a super light sleeper.

It was economical and the only game in town. There is 1 bathroom per floor of potentially 8 people, at least. There is no kitchen. There are a bank of small lovers in the hallway, but no security in the rooms.

The room was very small. The double bed was small and only accessible by ladder. The ladies lounge had 1 toilet and 2 very small showers. It was not very easy to find. Had to park a distance away. I would not recommend this hostel for anyone over the age of 20. Room rate was high for a hostel w/ little charm .

This is a great little hostel for those en route to Nuschwanstein or doing other activities in the area. The hostel is clean with the main area separate from the rooms so you can sit and talk without disturbing anyone. The rooms are clean and hostel expectations are reasonable for keeping things tidy and safe. Fussen is a nice small town and Christian, the owner of the hostel is friendly and has lots of tips about getting around and will give you a rental bike if needed. Laundry is available. The breakfast was really nicely prepared. I recommend this hostel highly if you are going towards the mountains. Very comfortable experience!

Pricey

My heart goes out to the dude who was running this place. He was obviously alone, and he obviously doesn’t love the service industry - many things seemed like an inconvenience to him. The room was clean, but I think a 4pm check in is too late, and you have to hike a LOT of stairs to get to the room or use the restroom
