Brook Lane Hostel

Regensburg


Regensburg’s only backpacker hostel has its very own convenience store, which doubles up as reception, but it isn't open 24 hours, so late landers should let staff know in advance. Dorms do the minimum required, but the apartments and doubles are applaudable deals, especially if you're travelling in a two- or more-some. Access to kitchens and washing machines throughout.
