At least 1 big towel for 1 family would help.

Perfect value for money. Amazing breakfast located in the Passau Castle. You have fantastic view from the rooms.

Would've perhaps appreciated something cooked for breakfast, but can't complain for a youth hostel, in general it was just great to have breakfast included.

Really nice to have breakfast included! In particular I found the receptionist very friendly and was very welcoming upon arrival, thank you so much! :) Was also great that refreshments were available at reception.

Ok, this is a complicated one.... German hostels are the gold standard. It's engrained in the culture, influenced by the Benedictine exhortation to "never ignore the knock of the stranger for it might be the lord" DJH takes that exhortation to heart and you will find a good bed, a relaxing shower and a decent Fruhstuck in a breathtaking setting overlooking "die blaue Donau" The problem is getting there after a day travelling😆 Google Maps will send you on two paths by foot, the first which is partially closed. But if you keep the faith and get checked in, then treat yourself to ein Bier on the terrace of the Oberhausen next door.

For people without car.. you have to Climb a Hill. If you have suitcases, don't wall to this hostel

Nice location though you have to climb a big Hill to arrive at the hostel. Breakfast was really good. Thank!

WiFi not wonderful but entirely understandable given it’s a castle!

Fantastic iconic location (once we’ve pushed our bikes up the 22% incline!) Friendly helpful staff, great breakfast and evening meals, good bike parking and washing facilities, relaxed and comfortable

Please provide a few drinking cups in the bath room.

The facilities were rather basic, but that was to be expected in a youth hostel. The location on top of the mountain in a medieval castle with Roman roots and a view over the city is unique. Museum, restaurant and free parking around the corner.

No wifi in the rooms, and lots of stairs to climb :)

Superb location, great view! Friendly and helpful staff.

Great location. Good breakfast, we've really enjoyed staying here. Also the walk to the hostel from Passau Hbf was great, as you walk through the wood and next to a waterfall.

The location is absolutely stunning 🤩 who thought you can sleep in an actual castle! And because we had to do a late check-in, we started our stay with a "treasure hunt" to find the key and the room, which was in the tower of the castle. Wonderful!

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but you need to register as a member of the DJH. The location of the hostel is really unique, it is next to Veste Oberhaus, so if you want to go down to the city for breakfast or a stroll you need to take a shuttle that costs 5 euro and runs only every half hour until 6 pm. I ordered food one night and the guy couldn't find the hostel, I had to go to him at another spot on the hill to grab my food.

So, the location is great if all you want to do in Passau is visiting the Veste Oberhaus, have breakfast in the hostel or at the Oberhaus restaurant. The hostel itself is out of this world, it is in a sort of medieval building style with very thick walls and deep set windows, beds were comfy and staff were friendly. Clean bathrooms and nice guests. .

You have to find a place where WiFi sign is available. You have to climb the stairs to the higher levels.

We really liked the unique location, the extraordinary view, the very delicious and plentiful breakfast. Free parking at "Rennweg Parkplatz" nearby.

The location was cool, but not easy to get to. The meals were a great value! Very clean. Room is basic.
