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.."

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

I traveled with two friends from work as we wanted to visit the castle, finding that we could also stay at the same location was a real bonus for us.
