Easy to find and great location. Carmen at the front desk was very helpful and kind! The hostel had a lot of character, was well kept, and clean.

I should say that it is the most clean hostel I have ever seen. Everything is perfect. The staff is nice and kind. The location is in the city center, just beside the cable station to the castle. Don’t worry, it won’t be noisy at night. It is quiet when the cable closed. The hostel is well equipped with super clean shower room and kitchen. The price includes also milk, tea and coffee. Incredible! The roomie is nice too. I had a sound sleep here. Surely will come again in autumn. Lotte Hostel worth the award Best Hostel of Germany 2019;)

“Very nice, clean accommodation with helpful stuff, conveniently located right under the castle.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Lockers are metallic, so can be noisy when closed and opened, but that is only to be expected in a hostel.
Neat nice room (I had a bed in 6-people bedroom), even though it's a bunk bed, still very comfortable. The lockers are handy. Plugs are ample, though my bed didn't have its own light (others have, and I didn't need it, so no harm done). Window can be opened for fresh air, room is spacious enough to allow movement, no claustrophobic feeling. Breakfast available round the clock (oatmeal, muesli, milk, tea, coffee), good for a desperate traveler. Bathrooms convenient and clean, with soap and toilet paper provided.
