KAYAK's top tips for finding Jena hostel deals

  • If you have a flight to catch or a train that is departing in the early hours, you might want to look for Jena hostels that are close to these transport hubs. You could opt for accommodation such as Pension Adria, which is around a 1h drive from Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), where you can get flights to Europe and other German cities. Alternatively, you are a roughly 10min walk from Jena Saalbahnhof (Jena Saale Station), which operates trains in and out of the city. Should you be travelling by car, you are also able to utilise free parking at this guesthouse, too.
  • If you are travelling with your pets, then you should seek out Jena hostels that will welcome your furry friends as much as they welcome you. For instance, one such hostel that allows pets is Ib Internationales Gaastehaus, which may have an additional charge depending on the type of pet you have and the duration of your stay. There are many areas close by that are great for walking your dog, too; for example, you could go to Jenaer Forst, which is only around a 5min walk from the hostel. Alternatively, about a 20min walk in the other direction will take you to the riverbank, where you can also stroll with your dog.
  • For those that are travelling on a budget and wanting to save money, you should look at Jena hostels that provide you with self-catering facilities. For example, Hostel Jena is one accommodation that has a shared kitchen, so you can cook for yourself rather than eating out. In the kitchen, you will have access to a stovetop, oven and refrigerator, so you can cook up a storm. This hostel is also only around a 6min walk from the closest supermarket, so it won’t be long before you have all the food you need for your stay in Jena.
  • If you’re looking for a cheap hostel in Jena, you should consider going during the low season. You’ll generally find lower-priced hostels in Jena in July and October.
  • Hostel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll likely find the best hostel deals in Jena if you stay on a Thursday. The most expensive day for hostel bookings is Monday.
  • Don’t know how much time you need to see all the sights? KAYAK users usually book their hostel in Erfurt for 2 days.
