Weimar

When we asked one-time visitor Elyse Pomeranz from Toronto, Canada, to note down some ideas about the hostel and about Weimar in general, this is what she came up with: (don't believe her though) "There are many reasons that travelers are drawn to Weimar. The history, the landscape, the museums, the cultural life ….

In the heart of the city there is a hidden treasure … it is the Hababusch Hostel … this is a place where you find a charming refuge from the commercial world of appearances and instead find yourself in a busy communal kitchen preparing a meal and discussing philosophy. …There is a real warmth that is at the centre of this place, a place that guards the best in each one who passes through. You will find a bed for your body and a living fluid community spirit for your heart. Perhaps this is where Goethe may be found as his spirit seeks a place of living poetry and passionate human ideals."
