Gerry `s Backpacker

The stay at the hostel was very comfy and pleasant. It has a warm social atmosphere where you can make friends and meet other interesting travelers. I only stayed for one night and traveled with the bicycle, so the location was easy to get to. The owner is very welcoming and very passionate about traveling and coffee. He was very considerate and kind enough to offer a welcome and goodbye coffee. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a hostel built with passion and with purpose for fellow travelers.

Lovely place, facilities seem a little dated, but everything is clean, neat & tidy and exactly as you need. The owner Gerry was a great host, very helpful in the process of updating

I had trouble finding the property using the directions from Booking.Com, they kept taking me to the small airfield. (Reported so hopefully this will be corrected soon) *Gerry’s Backpackers is located through the Maps app and when used I found it straightaway

The owners were incredibly friendly, and the room was cosy and pleasantly cool, especially considering it was summer. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the Bodensee!

Gerry’s Backpacker was the cheapest option (50 euros) for the night I checked in. However for around 70 euros you can get a pretty double room right in the heart of Konstanz.

One of the hosts there Christine, was looking at me with angry face in the morning when I was giving her the keys of their so called double room. She did send me messages in German, and I don’t speak German yet.. we are tourist, as a tourist we can speak or don’t speak certain languages. I think this is understandable. One of the toilets was not working on the floor I was. The backyard view is industrial plus some trees. There was not towel to take a shower, so if you go there ask explicitly for a towel if you need one.
