Euro Youth Hostal

Location: Munich, Germany

Subject: The Euro Youth Hostile München, Germany

With close proximity to the train station (only 3 blocks from the side entrance) makes this an ideal spot to stay if sailing through Munich on your way to other destinations. It also falls just at the start of the cities main drag. Rooms are cheep, at the time of our stay it was around €22 a night and per person of course. There is a price scale based on room arrangements starting with group style doom rooms, triples, and privet doubles. If you are afraid of crowded sleeping situations try shooting for the mid range of pricing and chances are you may luck out with a privet room. Reservations are recommended for the dorm rooms since this place is well recommended by many other guide books including Lets Go, Lonely Planet, and even Deysukia’s our Japanese friend from Rotenberg book as well. The last is an interesting to note since many Asian groups are there including a chap from Tokyo and Korean sporting a Red Sox cap that I was chatting with while waiting for the showers.

During the evening the bar on the first floor can get quite happening and serves Augustiner a good local brew from the monks a few blocks away with a fantastic bier garden. Generally the bar seems to have only guests but you do see the occasional local stroll in like the old German grandmother who shared a table with me and smoked away at her cigarettes. The staff is young so expect a young vibe around the place. There are couches and some coin operated internet cafes. While breakfast is offered for a few it is best to simply go foraging around Munich itself.

If the place is filled check any of the others on the strip. You have places like Wombats in a modern looking building; this is the same ownership as the one in Wien (Vienna). On top of that there are few other hostiles along the way and a few budget hotels located on the opposite side of the rail station by the Doutch Touring bus stop and offices.
