I think, a Kettle is what "Wasserkocher" is in german. :)

Normally electric cooking appliances including kettles are forbidden for fire protection reasons, unless they are provided by the hotel... that is something that definitely should be discussed with the hotel first.

Furs will complain even if you bent over backwards to fulfil all their needs down to personally paying for everyone. Sad fact of life.
Personally my response would be "Can't afford it, don't come!" but then again I'm not the one worrying wether enough people are going to turn up.
Looking at the website, I think everything is reasonably priced and before anyone asks, no I'm not laoded. I'm currently temping for £6 an hour!
On the topic of cars, I have been asked wether I would consider driving there and my answer is no. I get bugged for rides often enough without getting it there too! Oops...something else for people to complain about!
"Wasserkocher" - Water cooker. I like that. I hardly know any German at all, maybe I should start learning!

True, true. And looky at the yummy quality of the average youth hostel food you got for your money (EF12 was already worth a positive mention; I'm not sure whether standards went up, or whether they just liked us). I do remember some Eurofurences in them olden times where congoers went to the next McDonald's to avoid dinner. Now that is desperation ;D
Maybe it's 15 bucks per (attended) buffet, but I expect a significant quality improvement. Compared with the current fast food prices, even happy-meal wise, this is not all that much (and if those buffets are anything like those I remember from my last hotel, you will not need to attend two each day...). Let's see, it's nine months until EF, so if I save an extra ten bucks a month, I'll be good for 6 buffets...
Now, the only thing better than a full warm multi-selection buffet was the experience of calorie-overloaded food cooked communally as a special event, but who wants to cook for 400 people... and who's going to do the dishes? ;)

Might be a good idea to mention this on the EF page. Currently it reads like there's only the choice between "all you can eat" and "bring your own food".
