The Hostelz.com Review
One could hardly call House L.A. a hostel -- more like a cosy bed and breakfast at a fabulous price. Nestled in the small town of Fussen, House L.A. is a great find. The owner is very friendly and showed us to our room which had gorgeous views of the Alps. The beds are comfortable with down comforters and towels are provided. The room and bathroom are spotless and very well decorated.

It´s not really a great hostel to meet people as there is no common room, but we ended up making some friends when the owner drove us all to the bus station in the morning so we could go see the castles.

The only possible downside was that it is about a fifteen-minute walk from the train station, but it is easy to find. And as mentioned before, the owner drove us back there in the morning.

The best part about the hostel? Other than the clean, bright, comfortable rooms with cable television -- the breakfast. Served to us in our room at a time we choose, the owner brought us warm rolls with butter and jam, eggs, and juice as well. It was absolutely delicious, and to eat it with a view of the mountains was a perfect start to the day.

We really enjoyed our stay in the House L.A. in Füssen. The owners are really nice and helpful! great big breakfast, clean rooms and bathrooms, nice house. there isn't a room for all guests just for staying time together and get to know the others.

This is more like a B&B than like a hostel. The hostel is around twenty minutes on foot from the centre but the owner is extremely kind and helpful and can come to pick you up (and bring you back) at the station for free if advised in advance. However with bus n°70 you arrive directly in front of the house, ask the driver where to get off. Room and bathroom were spacious and clean. Nevertheless you can hear noise form the room closed to yours. Breakfast (included in the price) is brought into your room at the hour you choose the day before. Very reasonably priced too.

I stayed here for two nights in May of 2006. The rumours are true, this is an absolutely amazing "hostel," which is really a bed and breakfast if you ask me. It's basically a house with a bunch of the rooms converted to have sinks in them and lockable doors. The owner is a great guy who bends over backwards to make people feel comfortable, and get you to the train station when you need to be there. In fact, the morning I left I had resigned myself to catching a later train, but he rushed to get me there on time and I managed to catch the earlier one I thought I had missed. I had read that his English was sketchy before I went, but it's certainly quite decent by now. The breakfast in bed each morning is the kind of thing that, for the price, is just too good and you can't believe is actually going to show up until you wake up and it arrives. Our two-bed room was spacious and had an incredible view of the mountain peaks beyond the owners well kept backyard. Everything is exceptionally clean. Yes, this place is about a half an hour walk from the train station, but I'd have to nominate this place for one of the best "hostels" in all of Europe, so you'd be silly not to stay here. Besides, it's a beautiful walk, and you'll get a ride back to the station when you leave. I absolutely loved Füssen and the combination of that beautiful town and this great place to stay for so cheap should not be missed. If you do stay here, there is a butcher's shop a few blocks back towards the train station, and just off to the right by the little fountain, that had the best bratwurst on a bun I found in all of Bavaria.

this hostel is really really awesome. although it is a far walk from the station, the place is immaculate. very clean, small and friendly. the owner is very helpful, really nice and he brought us breakfast every morning right to our room. he even drove me to the train station because it was pouring rain. i definitely recommend this place.

This hostel is superb! I stayed there on the night of 12 April 2006. Next morning, the breakfast was incredible. I honestly did not expect that much coming straight to my room. Then, on 13 April 2006 I decided to stay there for another night, which there actually was no room available for us. After nine p.m., when it was late enough to assume that the guest who had booked the basement room wouldn't come, they arranged us a room for us. Althought eventually late at freezing night, they showed up, the host still managed to rearrange everything fine. The most impressive thing was on 14 April morning when we left. We had to catch the morning train, so we just left without our breakfast. But you know what? When we were on the train and the train was about to go. The host ran to us at the platform just to give us a big bag of breakfast! He also told as that he intended to give us a lift, but we were just too hurried to ignore that. I would highly recommend this hostel. I'll definitely stay there again if I go back to Fuessen.

We stayed there last month, and had a great time. This is a great bargain! A wonderful place with a great host, and spotless clean, comfortable rooms, best breakfast. Very recommended!

Four of us stayed here on short notice and the owner was nothing but helpful in March 2005. It's more like a Bed and Breakfast than a hostel, with a great breakfast being served in the morning. It has all the facilities with comfortable beds and very clean showers with lots of hot water. If you wish to use the Internet the owner lets you use his personal computer. Also he speaks basic English for those who are concerned. It's within easy walking distance to everything in town.

I had a wonderful stay here in a room with a view of the mountains. It was very clean and the staff were extremely hospitable, bringing breakfast to our room and even clearing the snow off of our car for us!

This was the nicest place I stayed at during my recent trip to Germany. It was immaculate and quiet, with a beautiful view of the mountains.
