Youth Hostel Greifswald

Youth Hostel Greifswald

The hanseatic city between the islands

Welcome to our city hostel between the islands of Usedom and Rügen. Here you can have it all: Culture, nature, history and sports - it's all on your doorstep.

Highlights of the Hanseatic city very close: From our hostel you can walk in a few minutes to the museum harbor and the historic old town. Walk in and around Greifswald in the footsteps of the most famous painter of the Romantic period, Caspar David Friedrich.

Despite its perfect location in the city, our house is spacious and comfortable: playrooms, a large outdoor area with playground, beach volleyball court and barbecue area offer school groups, groups and families plenty of space for relaxed fellowship.

Three seminar rooms with conference technology far from the guest rooms are ideal for seminars and workshops - bookable at a complete price for room rental, conference technology, drinks and WLAN.

Located between the two popular Baltic Sea islands of Rügen and Usedom, our house also offers the perfect starting point for excursions into breathtaking nature. Or you start with a rental bike directly from the premises to a tour on the Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route.
