Youth Hostel Stein am Rhein

My group of 4 stayed at this hostel during the Meeting Friends Mega event. We were bumped up from a 4 person room to a 6 person room for no extra charge. We did have to pay a parking fee per day, which ended up being meaningless since other guests (who did not pay) took our designated parking spot anyway. When we explained the problem to the hotel staff we were immediately refunded the CHF we paid without any further discussion. The hostel was very comfortable with laundry facilities and entertainment on the bottom floor, daily breakfast / guest services on the first floor, and showers and bathroom facilities on the 2nd floor. The shower did automatically shut off after ~15 seconds, but this was implemented as a water saving measure. To keep the flow running strong and hot, simply bump the shower button every 10 seconds and all is well. Given the comfortable hostel setting, the reasonable prices for the area, the great breakfast spread, and the very kind hotel staff we were extremely pleased with our visit. I would recommend this hostel to other travelers without hesitation and would plan to stay again as well, next time I just happen to be through the area.
