Hostel

About a&o Weimar

a&o Weimar is a large chain hostel near Weimar's main station, with a round-the-clock reception, a guest kitchen and a bar — and an orchard with hammocks in it.

A bed you can arrive at after midnight

Its reception really is open twenty-four hours, which matters more here than the price. If your train gets in late, or you are driving and cannot say when you will arrive, this is the practical answer. What you trade is the centre — it stands out by the station rather than in the old town, about a kilometre from the centre.

What the chain lists

Dormitory beds and single and double rooms; free WiFi; a guest kitchen, a washing machine and lockable cupboards; a hotel bar and a snack bar on the same round-the-clock service; parking; a breakfast buffet the chain calls all-you-can-eat; dogs and other pets welcome; and the orchard with hammocks and a terrace that is the one thing here you will not find at the other hostels.
