Black Forest Hostel

Rooms were comfortable and spacious, I really loved the town, everyone was so friendly including everyone in the hostel, staff were lovely and very informative. Rooms didn't lock but I would say I still felt very safe and the front door was locked at night.

Only negative for me was that there was no available laundry facilities to wash personal clothes, perfectly aware that it wasn't in the description though but I underestimated how many clothes I would need and really would have liked to wash my clothes at some point throughout my stay.

Super Professionell Kitchen Cool Space

Big public areas to hang out

Too many people in one room. Lockers weren't next to the bed. Had to make my bed myself and then when leaving undo it as well. No lift, had to go to the second floor, lift would have been great.

+ Staff were nice + Location was okay + Free coffee + Kitchen area kinda nice, not every hostel has one. + Nice common area

With this being written, I do wanna mention that I travel constantly and sleep exclusively in hostels - No pictures of the room should give you an idea, the rooms were so cramped that I could smell the breath of the person in the bed next to me. - Shower area not too big, also have to press the water button in shower every 15 - 20 seconds (I counted).. I’m all up for saving water but this was a bit excessive. - 10 euro deposit for key and having to fill out the info manually upon arriving is something that I remember hostels doing a few years ago, but I thought no one did anymore. Everything except the passport number is already provided when booking online. Other hostels just take a picture of your ID. - Some facility items are definitely worth upgrading / updating! - Their washing machine was broke (not their fault) and wasn’t gonna be fixed in less than a week, the only laundromat worth going to was a roughly 20min walk away. I’m not saying I wouldn’t stay here again, but it makes all the difference to know what I’m getting into. This place shows a lot of promise! It just needs more love and less people cramping.
