DJH Youth Hostel Oberammergau

Location 10 minutes' walk away from the station according to their website, 13 mins. according to Google, but if you are not a professional athlete and have any luggage, it's about 20 minutes or more. The bedside lamp by my bunk didn't work. I reported it to reception, who promised to have it fixed. They never did -during my entire week-long stay. The en-suite bathroom stank chronically, as if something were rotting out of sight, and the smell would waft out and take over the whole dorm. The only way to prevent this was by making sure the bathroom door was always kept shut. I didn't report it because I reasoned that if they couldn't change a lightbulb, they're unlikely to manage plumbing. No drinking glasses at breakfast, even on request -you are supposed to drink water out of mugs, which I intensely dislike, because their policy is not to provide drinking glasses in the interest of safety. Likewise, no trays. You need to bring food to your table plate by plate -and the plates are small, side plates, not dinner-size. Again, it's a house policy. On my last day I asked them to print a train ticket. They refused without as much as an explanation, but probably for the sake of cybersecurity. Still, nowhere near top customer service! I have decided (maybe generously) to give them an overall "two star" rating because, in spite of everything, my room was quite spacious, access is relatively easy, and I enjoyed the international TV channels in the (tiny) adults-only room.

The kids loved the bunk beds and we appreciated the private bathroom even though it wasn't in the room. Each bunk had its own light and outlet. The sink in the room allowed for teeth brushing while the toilet or shower was in use. A German breakfast of cold cuts, cheese, bread, and yogurt was included in our package and we had a reserved table in the cafeteria. Free WiFi in the lobby and rooms close to the lobby. Desk clerks were friendly and spoke english well but unfortunately the climbing wall required special certification and supervision for liability reasons.

Quite a nice Hostel to stay in. The food was great and the lounge was nice and relaxing. They also have an area where ping pong can be played in. What I didn't like is that a majority of the showers are lacking in ventilation, and so a lot of the time this resulted in a gigantic pool of water forming in the place where one stands after taking a shower. What would have also helped with this was if there were shower mats in the shower. However besides this, I highly recommend staying at this hostel.

The hostel is a very clear and comfortable accommodation. I would like to come back again. There are storage rooms for your snowboard or bike. But the doors are not close by his self.

beautiful place. wonderful view of the hotel all around. river flowing right infront of the hotel. such a wonderful town. hotel is just few mins from bus stop. great place.

The building looks very nice. There are many places to see and you can easily visit them without vesicles. The houses are nicely decorated. The natural views are also mind blowing.

This place was amazing! The staff were always ready to help with anything and everything, the views were amazing and the rooms were fairly spacious and very attractive. I'd definitely stay here again. I'd rate higher if I could!

Central; nice view; more or less tasty food, sometimes the best is gone fast; rooms are quiet nice, except the colours; good storage; less wifi; all in all a good place for groups and families with younger people
