DJH Hostel - Coburg and other Coburg, Germany Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

This hostel is in an old castle/patrician's house. There is also a new addition in the back. The hostel manager very graciously allowed me to store my pack in the office before registration hours which are from 1700 - 1900.

This is a wonderful hostel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The entire place is spotless! The floors shine as do the marble stairs. I cannot say that this hostel is anything but exceptional, my thanks to all of the staff and teachers of the groups staying at the hostel when I was there. I should also say that the kids were very well-behaved, indeed. It is also right on a bus line.

I was only there for 1 night because I believed that the town could be visited in one day. Not so, and I will go back soon.

Again, my thanks to managers, Mr.&Mrs. Thom Roessler, and to their terrific staff. I apologize to them for not taking a picture of the dorm room, which was perfect.

Unique Qualities: This is another of the Deutsche Jugend Herbergen (DJH) which is a national organization affiliated with Hosteling International (HI). In both Germany and Austria, the HI hostels are very family and youth oriented with programs for both. They have rules, are gender separate, and are not party hostels. Many are not open 24 hours per day. Some have curfews and registration hours. What you get is a very clean room with reasonably comfortable bunks or beds, spotless toilets and showers, a nice, continental breakfast of rolls, bread, jams, cereals, cheese, lunch meats, juice and coffee. You also get enough quiet to allow for a reasonable nights' sleep. Polite and friendly service from the staffs is another plus. Bus line is one-half block.

Again, this is not a party hostel, which is not to say that it is not a fun hostel. Fun is where you make it.
