    Although the hostel is not far from the city center, the buses took a long time to pass by, so many times we had to walk and it was more complicated while carrying all the ski equipment.

    The room fit our needs and had a balcony with a mountain view. It also had lockers to store our valuables and the beds were very comfortable. It also had its own bathroom and shower which was very practical. Finally, we liked the kitchen very much, since it had everything we needed to cook and it was also a very large space where we could hang out.

    I tried calling the property couple of times ahead of trip to know how to reach via public transport as we didn't travel by car. Sadly none picked up call, may be due to maintenance stuff was going on. Everything else was satisfactory.

    Hello, I travelled Garmisch-partenkirchen on weekend, it was leisure trip. The room was clean, cosy and we had a nice view from the balcony. It was easy to reach hostel with bus line 1 & 2(Bus stop Skistadion). Due to some maintenance the lock of rooms where not working and hence property offered us good discount on the room rent. They also offered us morning coffee/tea token(2 EUR per person). Host was well mannered. Common kitchen and living room were clean and comfortable.

    The location is bit far from main city. The staff did not answer the phone calls on the date of arrival. Seperate charging point was not available for some bed.

    Facilities in the hostel were nice for the price. The hostel has very good kitchen. View from the room was very nice. It was a comfortable stay.

    Some tiles in the bathroom were broken, this was an almost negligible nuisance, if at all.

    Most friendly staff ever, despite being late. Free tea and coffee. Free food container (contained mainly cereals). Good COVID-19 hygiene. The paid sauna was offered to us even for the checkout day.

    A little outside the city center but busses can be taken for free. Would appreciate some showergel/shampoo in the bathroom but it also was not advertised so we came prepared :)

    Very friendly, helpful and flexible staff! Room was big enough for two, even had a (shared) balcony. Comfy beds. Very clean. Kitchen with everything you need, incl. free tea and instant coffee. Free bus ticket available, bus stop close to the hostel. Walking distance to Partnachklamm.

    This was a great find. Perfect for what we needed. Gone most of the day and just needed a place to crash and eat. The owner was helpful and available. Able to use the sauna and store our ski/snowboard equipment easily. Kitchen/dining area was very clean and fully stocked with what we needed. There were 12 of us in all on our trip that stayed here.

    Cheap hostel room, but don't expect a great deal for your money.

    When arriving too early for check in, the location for leaving a bag was simply against a wall in a dining area, which didn't feel particluarly secure. The room had a strong smell of tobacco smoke, and the bed was not particularly comfortable. Guests were left their own clean bedding to place on the bed, and the balcony was shared with another room. The curtains were very thin, and let a lot of light through, and the bathroom was incredibly cramped. The room could do with some updating.

    The location was a couple of minutes walk from the Ecker Mountain, Ski Stadion, and the local alpine coaster ride. The check in staff was generally quite friendly, and issued me a guestcard for some minor local discounts. The shower had a plentiful supply of hot water.

    The room was big, meant for six people, but bunk beds were the only furniture there was.

    Since there were not too many guests at the time when we arrived, we had one of the two kitchens with a dining area just for ourselves. It's just a few minutes walk to the big parking lot in front of the Olympiahouse, very convenient if you are going to Partnach Gorge.
