This hostel is 5 minutes away from the central railway station, but after 10 minutes walking you're already in the old city. The rooms are large, nicely decorated and have large windows. The ambient is calm, the personal is friendly, beds are confortable, clean sheets, clean bathroom, a very well equiped kitchen is available for guests, free internet access and... More

This hostel is close to the train station, which is handy. We informed the hostel we'd be there at 7, as did another traveler, but no one had showed up an hour later. We called them, and they showed up within a minute - apparently they live right next door and hadn't checked! The room was big and fairly clean,... More

The place is pretty ok for backpackers. Stayed there for two nights and it corresponds perfectly to what they offer in the website. It's really worth to visit the city by the way, specially for those who love good beer and nice views.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my husband. The staff was helpful and welcoming. Our room was really cute and large. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. Internet was provided in the rooms and the connection was decent. The only thing I didn't like was that all the rooms on the reception floor had windows facing the garage... More

Backpackers Bamberg is one of the greatest hostels I've ever been to. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and pretty but cheap at the same time. The location of the hostel is also great. It's close to the inner city but very calm. Bamberg is a wonderful city to visit! I love the historical Altstadt... More

This is a nice hostel close to the train station, within a 5-10 minute walk. The Old Town is within walking distance also but a little farther at about 15 minutes by foot. Check-in was quick and easy. The owner was nice and helpful by giving us a map and answering our questions. There isn't someone at the reception desk... More

A very clean, comfortable and well-stocked hostel only a block or so from the train station. There are numerous bathrooms with good water pressure and very clean. There is a kitchen with free cereal, tea and coffee (and fridges to store your own food in). And a small patio if you prefer to eat breakfast outside. There is often no-one... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks because I had to do research in Bamberg. The hostel is extremely clean, very comfortable, and friendly. Solo backpackers and young families alike stayed here, and though it was a sociable environment, everyone was respectful and not too loud. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, there is a nice terrace, and the rooms... More

Very nice little hostel, just a few steps from the train station away. Friendly staff, fair price, realy all inclusive. The rooms were confortable and modern, plenty of plug ins for netbooks etc. It was clear that the owner put a lot of offort on the design and ammenities. I would certainly recommend it to other users.

Bamberg was a fascinating city. It's filled with lots of history and has a charming atmosphere. It has been very well preserved since the middle ages because it was not bombed during WWII. Bamberg is known for having more breweries than any other city in Germany. It is a UNESCO world heritage site as well. The city can easily be... More
