Backpackers Bamberg

Bamberg


Bamberg's backpacker hostel is a well-kept affair, with clean dorms, a fully functional kitchen and a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere (staff stress this is not a party hostel). Make sure you let the hostel know when you're arriving, as it's left unstaffed for most of the day. It's located 400m north along Luitpoldstrasse from the Luitpoldbrücke.
