Always central, always for everyone: the perfect combination of hotel & hostel
The innovative combination of hotel and hostel under one roof ensures there's a room to suit every travel budget. The range of rooms in the hotel section includes single, double and family rooms. The hostel rooms are equipped with several bunk beds and are ideal for budget-conscious travellers, young and young at heart, who are keen to explore Europe's most exciting cities! Our rooms come as standard with an en-suite bathroom including shower/WC and free Wi-Fi.
Thanks to its flexibility in accommodating different group sizes, the budget chain is popular with solo travellers, couples, backpackers, friends, families and business travellers of all ages. We make city breaks accessible to everyone – including clubs, school groups and organisations!
A major advantage and a unique feature in the hotel industry is a&o’s family-friendly approach: children stay free of charge in their parents’ room. For the little ones, we have set up a Kids’ Corner in the a&o hostels where they can play and have fun.
The hotel chain welcomes guests from all over the world and encourages socialising and international exchange with its spacious lobbies, pool and table football tables, as well as lobby bars open 24 hours a day.
At a&o, guests decide how they want to make the most of their stay: we support them with additional services such as programme suggestions, bike hire or a ticket service. Groups of 10 or more can choose between the classic breakfast buffet and an all-you-can-eat option, and can also decide whether to book varied lunch or dinner options through the a&o hotel and hostel. Our in-house meeting rooms can be hired with the same flexibility.
Friendly and well-trained staff are just as important to us as being available to guests at all times. That’s why you can reach us round the clock if you have any questions.
