What is a dormitory?Booking Process & Information

A dormitory, often called a dorm, is a shared room with multiple beds—typically bunk beds—that different guests can book individually. When you book a dorm, you're paying for your bed, not the entire room, making it a very budget-friendly option. At MEININGER Hotels, our dormitories can accommodate between 4 and 12 beds, and we also offer female-only dorms for added comfort and privacy.


Guests under 18 years old are not allowed to stay in a dormitory, even if they are accompanied by an adult. This policy ensures the safety and comfort of all guests sharing the space.


Staying in a dormitory is a fantastic way to save money and meet other like-minded travelers. However, it's important to keep in mind that you'll be sharing the room with others, who may have different routines and schedules. Some guests might stay up late or get up early, so being considerate and flexible is key to enjoying the communal living experience.


Embrace the camaraderie, make new friends, and enjoy the adventure that comes with dorm living!
