Alps Hostel

We chose Alps Hostel Pfronten mainly because of its convenient location, as it is close to Hohenschwangau for visiting Neuschwanstein Castle the next day. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful, more like a village atmosphere, which we enjoyed. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for us to open our suitcases easily. The bathrooms were also clean and well-maintained. Overall, the accommodation felt cozy and suitable for a short stay. The self check-in system was practical, and entering the building with the provided keycode was straightforward The hostel also provides a common area where guests can enjoy tea, coffee, snacks, and even breakfast on a self-service basis. Guests simply pay at the self-service cashier machine, which we found to be a nice and convenient concept.

It was quite difficult to find the hostel, especially since there were no staff on site at all to assist. Although we received a keycode for the main door, the instructions about where to collect the room keys were unclear. We only managed to find the keys after meeting another guest who kindly helped us. The building has three floors and no elevator. Our rooms were located on the 1st and 2nd floors, so carrying heavy luggage upstairs was quite inconvenient. The biggest issue was the heating system. It did not work properly, turning on and off randomly. In the two-bedroom suite, the heater did not work at all, which made the room uncomfortably cold during our stay in winter/January Overall: A reasonable option for its location and cleanliness, but the lack of staff support and the unreliable heating system need significant improvement.

La zona immersa nel verde

Non c’è ascensore

Very cosy place, especially all the common areas. Room not latest in design but matches overall mood and comfortable.

Quiet location, self check-in, self-service bar. Free parking. Interesting interior.

Wooden floor which squeaks wherever you walk, tiny bathroom, really cold inside regardless of heating, sorry uncomfortable pillows, way too expensive for such quality. Ok for one night, but definitely not more.
