HI - Eisenach Hostel in Eisenach … I found this youth hostel very pleasant. It wasn't so much the decor (although it was very nice and it seemed like a pretty old house) as it was the staff. There was one young man there whom I know only as "Thomas" (I don't know if that's how it is spelled). He was the fittest thing I'd ever seen but I was too shy to talk to him and he seemed busy. I took one photograph of him, but I forgot to put the flash on and it did not turn out.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … Mellow atmosphere, centrally located, quiet (with the exception of the garbarge trucks in the morning, which since I don't have an alarm clock and I prefer to walk around in the morning), and internet (cheaper than in town). Beautiful ivy facade, kitchen, no curfew, and comfortable beds. This hostel ranks near the top for me.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … This hostel certainly belongs in the quirky category -- and it's a matter of taste if one likes such places. I do -- and this is one of the best hostels of this type I've been to. Right in the centre -- and that's important if you want to immerse yourself in the Weimar ambient -- and very cheap. The rooms and the kitchen are basic, the showers even more so, but what Hababusch is about is the arty atmosphere and the living room with piano, large dining table, and this amazing chandelier where everybody meets in the evenings. One thing -- the individual rooms indeed don't have any locks, which might be slightly concerning if you're traveling with something valuable. I've never heard of anything being stolen in Hababusch, though.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … The Hababusch Hostel is great. It's a little kitschy, but it's got lots of character and the help there is great. Get to know Kai, he's a wealth of information. He taught us the ins and outs of Weimar. I've been here for almost three weeks and its gonna be sad leaving. Weimar is a beautiful city with tons of culture. Just watch out for "no money Sundays."
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … This hostel is a very old house in the historic center of this charming small city. The house has obviously not been modernized to the latest standards but that only enhances the atmosphere of the place! It has a very cozy and warm atmosphere, and the hostel is run by the students who live upstairs in the same house. The guests are part of the family.
Weimar is impressive. It's a city that, as a whole, seems to preserve its history. There is not much that will disturb you in strolling back in time through parks, past castles and other cultural and historic places.
Friedrich Nietzsche, J. S. Bach and Martin Luther lived in this city, as well as dozens of other "celebrities" in the field of music, philosophy, architecture, literature and art. The Buchenwald concentration camp is point of interest nearby.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … The Hababusch is really one-of-a-kind. It's nice to have a place that just feels like you're going back to your own apartment at night: there's no curfew and you can go about your own daily plans. The people that work there are truly exceptional, they are very kind and willing to help when you are in a pinch (I should know — I had to turn a four-day stay into a three-week stay when my rent contract for my apartment was late!). The hostel is cheap enough that I recommend getting a small room (if you book ahead of time) so you have plenty of space to put bags.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … I spend my first night in Weimar in Hababusch Hostel when I moved from Liverpool to Weimar with my girlfriend. Im so happy that we spent our first night because it made arriving so easy for its such a beautiful hostel. You can feel it's run with love and care and the interesting little quirky things used for their interior design enhance the ultimate creative air that surrounds this quite magical Hostel in Weimar. Booking was easy, quick and all other logistics were also handled easily. A great to place to stay when youre in Weimar!
HI - Erfurt - JH Klingenstrasse Hostel in Erfurt … I stayed one night with a large church group of 5 families. Family rooms were available in 3 and 4 bed configurations with private bath. Rooms were actually about 4 blocks from check-in desk, in what appears to be an old hotel obtained by the hostel. It's very easy to find on the southwest corner of the ring road. Use Erfurt West exit from the autobahn. Parking was a challenge. It's about a 2.5-mile walk from the central city sights. The staff spoke good English, several had attended school in UK or US. I will stay there again.
HI - Windischleuba Hostel - JH Schloss Windischleuba Hostel in Windischleuba … In May of 1992 I stayed at this hostel. It was wonderful! I was touring with my college choir and happened to be staying at this Hostel with a children's choir. The castle is beautiful and clean. Some of the rooms even had beautiful murrals painted on the walls. The woods behind the castle are a wonderful place for a walk. There are a few rooms that aren't dormitory style so it would be a great place for couples! VERY ROMANTIC! The courtyard is a great place to socialize or sit and write. The morning we left we had a improptu concert with the children's choir in the courtyard. WONDERFUL ACOUSTICS! Staying here was one of the highlights of six trips to Europe!
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … The hostel is cleaned daily. The building is old and it shows. But there is no problem with that. That's were the atmosphere comes in. I am told that this hostel is run by students as a non-profit organisation. So it can not be compared with a commercial hostel. There is no reception. The students that live upstairs do the check-in. There is a touch of communal living and anyone who enjoys that will feel very much at home in this place.
Hababusch Hostel in Weimar … The best hostel I have seen in a long time, if you are not too picky. It's right in the historic centre, very cheap, and obviously run by students, i.e. not professionals. Weimar is the most wonderful place to relax if you enjoy old buildings, parks and scenery. It can also be recommended for its cafes, young art galleries and student life.
HI - Weimar - Germania Hostel in Weimar … Nice hostel. It was quite clean and pillowcases were even included in the bedsheets! We had a three-bed room for just the two of us, but the rooms was rather small so we ended up putting our suitcase on the unused bed. Our room had a table and sink, which was nice and cosy. Our room had windows covering two nearly all of two of walls. The hostel was literally a one-minute walk from the train station and a bus stop that took us directly to the concentration camp located outside Weimar. There was a cheap donair place next door and an Italian restaurant on the other side of the building. We were only in Weimar for one night so we did not see everything but we did walk around at night. Weimar is a beautiful town with a lovely city center close to the hostel. It was still pretty lively at 1 a.m. with people eating ice cream and wandering around the zone closed off to cars. If you are wandering around late at night, you might want to drop into a 'store' that displays old abandoned…
