We stayed as a big group and I was surprised by the quality of the rooms. whilst being a bit spartan they where clean and functional. All with lockers and a shower in each room. Breakfast was ok very basic cheese and ham cereal and juice and coffee. there was however a bright green juice not for the faint hearted.... More

Four of us stayed at Colditz youth hostel in December. It was a surprise for my husbands 60th birthday and did not disappoint. The hostel itself was spotless and the staff most helpful and pleasant. We ordered a room with towels and sheets and a very good breakfast was provided. I have not had much experience of youth hostels and... More

The castle itself us worth a visit and the town too. But Colditz is a sleepy place and not really worth the time I planned to stay there, nevertheless I loved my time here. The beds were uncomfortable, the food wasn't great and the town was hard to navigate . But a few days is all it took to get... More

Wow!! what can I say here... not at all what was expected. When I was informed that I'd be staying the night in a youth hostel, my initial thoughts were; "hmmm, this remains to be seen, but what the heck, I only live once.." The drive up to this place is long and windy, and to see the castle high... More

A friend, his son and myself went to Colditz as part of a project the son was doing for school. Despite arriving late, the welcome was magnificent, the staff were extremely helpful, and despite, technically, being out of hours, fed us well. The accomodation was of the bunk bed type, with 6 bunks to a room, it was spotless, modern,... More

Location - perfect! Being old enough (just) to remember watching the Colditz TV series first time round, as we were touring Germany, it was great to stay in the actual castle! The museum is situated in another part of the castle and you can get a really informative, guided tour in English for an hour or two hours for just... More

Alex Bulloch's War Research Society www.battlefieldtours.org.uk is the only battlefield tour operator who offers the opportunity to stay at Colditz Castle in this splendid facility. There is en-suite in all rooms, very clean and quite unique. The tour of the castle is first... More

Arriving at nightbthe schools colditz looked every bit as inspiring as I expected it to be. The... More
