“Great Location, No-frills Hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010

Wuerzburg was our first stop on a back-packing trip of Romantic Road, and Babelfish hostel ensured we kicked-it-off smoothly. Situated right across the train station. The room was spartan - clearly meant to shoo you off to explore the town. Lack of AC made it a bit stuffy, especially since we had got the top floor. Guess it would be worse in summer! The receptionist was quite helpful to us - with the touring directions and the hostel amenities (which include a kitchen, washing machines). Although free wifi was available, there were problems throughout our stay with accessing it on our floor (the receptionist was clueless on rectifying it)

“Great place if traveling by rail.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2010

Clean Hostel near the train station. Nothing fancy, if you are a light sleeper it can get a little noisy as is on a busy road.
Wurzburg is a great place to visit, try to get there for a wine festival and be sure to have a beer in the beer garden in the castle overlooking the city.
Short walk to all the city has to see.

“Standard place with a good location next to the train station”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2010

If you are moving a lot or are carrying heavy lugage, this is the place to be due to its proximity to the train station. It is a rather average hostel, a bit expensive for the service provided (as many other German hostels are).

“Amazing hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2009

We stayed at Babelfish during one night. The Hostel is clean, with large rooms (we took a private room), has a excelent localization. There is free wifi at the rooms also. The only problem is that the hostel don't accept credit cards.

“Adequate hostel in a great location for Romanticstrasse bus”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2008

We stayed in this hotel after arriving from Nuremburg and needing to get the Romantic Road bus the next day.

The hostel is conveniently located a 10 min max walk down parallell to the train station which is where you get the bus from and is signposted from the station also.

The rooms are clean and fine and there is free internet access, but only one computer so it was difficult to gain access without literally sitting and waiting and eyeballing the person on the computer. The kitchen is ok and is part of the lounge room. All in all an adequate hostel, no real complaints.

  • Liked — location for romantic road bus
  • Disliked — internet access not great, old building
