Location, good breakfast

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but you need to register as a member of the DJH. The location of the hostel is really unique, it is next to Veste Oberhaus, so if you want to go down to the city for breakfast or a stroll you need to take a shuttle that costs 5 euro and runs only every half hour until 6 pm. I ordered food one night and the guy couldn't find the hostel, I had to go to him at another spot on the hill to grab my food.

So, the location is great if all you want to do in Passau is visiting the Veste Oberhaus, have breakfast in the hostel or at the Oberhaus restaurant. The hostel itself is out of this world, it is in a sort of medieval building style with very thick walls and deep set windows, beds were comfy and staff were friendly. Clean bathrooms and nice guests. .

You have to find a place where WiFi sign is available. You have to climb the stairs to the higher levels.

We really liked the unique location, the extraordinary view, the very delicious and plentiful breakfast. Free parking at "Rennweg Parkplatz" nearby.

Beds weren't that comfy. Far from the city center.

The location was cool, but not easy to get to. The meals were a great value! Very clean. Room is basic.

It is located in an old castle on top of a hill (very steep road if you travel by bike :)) and with a great view of Passau (but not from room!). The room was equipped with basic facilities but was very clean. Towels are not included in the price (small extra charge). The breakfast was excellent (buffet) and, very positively, completely free of plastic waste.

Very romantic location.

difficult communication with the youth hostel. first reaction was, when I called the hostel that we arrive late due to traffic jams, that we cannot enter the place. I really had to insist. then it turned out that they had a handy system with codes and key boxes. it was atavistic to see a touristic place with such lack of good will and empathy.

most beautiful place high above town, in the historical fortress of Passau’s bishops.

Mattresses were uncomfortable Limited vegan options at breakfast

Beautiful views over Passau Friendly staff Breakfast OK, not amazing for vegans but vegan milk was provided Setting in the schloss was very cool Easy walk to the centre of Passau but not wheelchair friendly

Nice staff, very good location for the hotel in general. If you come by bike you most likely have to push it up the hill as it is 22%. Other than that everything as expected.

We traveled to Passau with Bicycle from Linz. After arriving to Passau, we were very tired and it was a little hard to climb with bicycle to the building. It didn't take too long(~10minutes) but road and uphill was not much suitable for bicycle. Anyway after arriving, it was very comfort and pleasure.

The place stayed on top of a hill. You don't have any landscape view from windows, but with walking 3 minutes from the building you can get a beautiful view of Passau city from above. Everything was enough clean and fair to cost. Breakfast was also great.

towers and views =requires many steps. very challenging to make it accessible for disable people,but still somehow possible with few elevators (not in castle itself) and system of public transportation

just everything, this was one of the best places we have ever visited! living in the highest tower in the castle, listening to opera straight underneath us and having the best view of Passau straight from the bedroom.. what can be better?
