The youth hostel lies a bit away from the center of Göttingen, but still close enough to allow visitors to visit the city center in a matter of minutes. The total capacity of the house is 161 beds in 43 rooms. Beyond the sleeping rooms, we have a total of 5 large conference rooms and 1 concert hall for us to use, summing up to a whopping 470 square meters available for all kinds of planned events. Additionally there are a couple of all-purpose day rooms, and a barbecue grill outside and a volleyball field. The site is easily accessible by wheelchair, too. The caretakers are used to hosting congresses and conventions, and are ideally equipped for it. We have a bus stop right in front of the main entrance. The only bad new is, dogs are not allowed in a youth hostel.

  • By Car

    Göttingen lies directly to the Autbahn A7. Take exit Göttigen or Göttigen-Nord, and then into the city. The recommended way to get to the youth hostel is via: Nikolausberger Weg, Nonnenstieg, Ewaldstrasse, Habichtsweg.

  • By Train

    Göttigen has its own ICE (german high-speed train) station, so going by train will be the fastest, although maybe not the cheapest way to get there. Take a train to Göttingen Hauptbahnhof, then take Bus line #4, and change to Bus line #6 (which goes to "Klausberg"). Bus #6 stops directly in front of our con site, the bus stop is appropriately named Jugendherberge :)

  • By Plane

    The nearest two international airports are either Hannover or Frankfurt/Main. From there, you'll have to go by train. You should talk to your travel agency to see which airport works best for you.
