Where to Stay When Interrailing in Europe

Interrailing through Europe is a dream for many, giving you freedom to see different countries and cultures at your own pace.

One of the main factors of ensuring a good interrail trip, one that can make or break the adventure, is choosing the correct place to stay!

As the leading provider of full interrail packages, and getting feedback from our customers in the process, we know the importance of conveniently located accommodation while interrailing as well as comfort. That’s why we’ve partnered with hostels and hotels either close by the train stations or in the city centre. Here’s a guide to finding the best places to stay while interrailing through Europe;

 

The Importance of Location

When you’re interrailing, location is everything. After a long day of train travel or sightseeing, the last thing you want is a long trek back to your accommodation. Our carefully selected hotels and hostel partners are strategically located to save you time and energy: We pride ourselves in our choice of accommodations partners, having worked with most of them for almost 15 years. They’ve been carefully handpicked, and tried and tested by our own staff. We work with well known brands like St Christophers and Meininger group and much more.

  • Proximity to Train Stations: Staying near train stations allows you to easily hop on and off trains, minimizing transfer times while maximizing your time exploring the city itself.
  • Central Locations: Being in the heart of the city means you can immerse yourself in the local culture soaking in the atmosphere, close by major attractions and landmarks, plenty of dining, and entertainment options.

 

Hostel or Hotel: What’s Right for You?

Choosing the correct accommodation type depends on a number of things- your travel style, your budget and who your travelling with. We offer accommodation to suit all needs and group types:

Hostels:

  • Shared Dorms: Great for budget travelers or solo travellers. Staying in shared dorms is perfect for meeting new like minded people.
  • Private Dorms: Many hostels now offer private rooms, so you can enjoy social spaces without compromising on privacy while sleeping.

*(It’s important to note, many hostels now a days don’t allow under 18’s to stay on their premises, therefore it’s important to take this into consideration when choosing your accommodation.)

 

Hotels:

Whilst hotels are often more expensive, they are ideal for those seeking more comfort and amenities. Hotels offer a quieter, more private environment,  often with services like breakfast and concierge assistance.

  • Double or Twin rooms: Great for couples or friends wanting a little more comfort and amenities
  • Family rooms: With the increase in the number of families interrailing, it’s important for us to also cater to the needs o
  • Solo rooms: Ideal for someone wanting more privacy while travelling alone.
