Hostels intro
Generally clean and a good deal cheaper than pensions, youth hostels are a great place to hang your rucksack, particularly if you’re travelling alone and not averse to sharing a room. Not everything labelled
Jugend is actually a state-run DJH-hostel (
Jugendherberge) though (and not always as cheap). There are
Jugendhotels,
Jugendgasthäuser (guest houses) and even a
Jugendlager. To get into an official Bavarian
Jugendherberge you need to be a member, under 26 (one place charitably admits under 27-year olds too), a group leader or part of a family with at least one child under 18.

Wake up to the sound of the river Isar gurgling alongside this 150-year castle accommodation which, like so many youth hostels, enjoys a great location but is bit off the beaten track.

A good option for the budget-conscious, the YMCA hostel provides spartan rooms with wide, wooden bunk beds, like the adult version of a children's bed set at IKEA. You don't have to believe in Jesus to stay here, but you do have to return by 00:30 or you'll be locked out and have to

Dossing down under a beer tent for the night with 300 heaving bodies may not necessarily be what you came to Munich for. However, whatever your views about drunken Aussies, blocked loos, and the heavy odour of sleep, sweat and canvas, you won’t find anything cheaper than The Tent. The €8.50 fee buy

Judging by the piles of weathered backpacks in the lobby and the lack of toilet paper in the toilets, one could easily surmise that this place is popular with the youth of Europe and beyond. Dormitory beds are clean and private rooms priced considerably higher include cable TV, a phone, sink, bed a

Slightly more expensive than a state youth hostel, but you don’t need to be a member to stay here. Originally built for the 1972 Olympics, International really is a meeting place for all nationalities, boasting its own ping pong room, disco/bar and restaurant. If you turn up here solo, chances are

The fact that this ostensibly “premium hostel” describes its location in terms of walking minutes to the Hofbräuhaus (15, probably double that on the way home) speaks volumes about the type of market it’s into. Tucked away in a quietish side street just 80m from the Hauptbahnhof, Jägers has all the
