Looking for a hostel for women?

At MEININGER you book a single bed in a shared room, just like you would in a female hostel, and get the comfort of a hotel with it. You pay for your bed, not for the whole room.

Every dorm has its own bathroom, so there’s no 3 AM trip down the hallway or queueing with the whole floor in the morning. You’ll also have your own locker and reading light, plus our reception team is here 24/7, handy whether you arrive late or simply need something during your stay. And with our hotels in or near city centers and well connected to public transport, getting around on your own is a piece of cake.

En-suite bathroom

Thinking that you have to step outside your room to find a toilet at night or a shower in the morning? Think again!
When you stay at MEININGER hotels, you enjoy the good life: all rooms, private ones or dorms, come with a shower/WC and toilet in 2 separate rooms.

Game zone

Safe and sound

Your safety matters to us. That's why every female dorm has its own bathroom, shared only with the women in your room.

Reception is open 24/7. If your train gets in at 2 AM, or something needs solving in the middle of the night, we'll be there.

Every room has card access, and there's a locker for your things. Female dorms are 18+, the same as all our dorms.

Why stay at MEININGER Hotels?

A dorm bed here doesn't mean giving up what a hotel does well. Our female dorms are small: you're sharing with a handful of women, not twenty, and only with women. No under-18s either, since you have to be 18 to book a dorm bed.

You'll find MEININGER Hotels across 25+ European cities, in or near city centers and well connected to public transport. Whether your night bus leaves at six or your flight lands at eleven, you'll have a base that's set up for it.

If the female dorm is sold out for your dates or you simply feel like having the room to yourself, a private room is always an option.

Your female-only dorm

Feel your best

Ultimate comfort and rest are calling your name at MEININGER Hotels. All rooms have modern amenities and their very own bathroom.

A bedtime story?

Here, at MEININGER, all beds come with their own shelf, light, and a USB power point. Sweet dreams are made of this!

My precious...

Keep your luggage and valuables safe in a locker (available in all shared rooms) while you're sightseeing.

Female dorm FAQs

Mostly yes, and a female only dorm makes things even simpler. You share the room with women only, every bed has a locker, the bathroom is inside the room, and reception is staffed around the clock. Most solo travelers stay in dorms without any trouble.
A female-only dorm is a shared hotel room whose beds are booked by female guests only. You get your own bed, your own locker and a bathroom inside the room, and you pay per bed instead of for the whole room.
Many do, and you'll also find this option at MEININGER Hotels along with mixed dorms and private rooms. Availability varies per hotel, so check out the list above or put your dates into the booking engine.
Every room at MEININGER Hotels has its own bathroom, dorms included.
Pick your city and dates, click on the "shared" filter to see dorm beds, then choose the female dorm option. You'll spot mixed dorms and different room sizes there too. Add breakfast or any extras, confirm and you're done!
You can book several beds in the same female dorm, and we'll do our best to put you all in one room. We can't guarantee it though, since beds are booked individually and rooms fill up as other guests book. Want to be certain you're together? Book a private multi-bed room instead :)
Every shared room has lockers, so all your personal stuff stays safely locked up while you're out. Bring a padlock or pick one up at reception.
It depends what you want from your stay. A hostel gives you a cheap bed and people to meet. A hotel gives you comfort and privacy. A female dorm at MEININGER Hotel gives you the best of both worlds: you pay for your bed and share the room with women only, in a hotel with its own bathroom in every room and the chance to socialize when you want or chill by yourself when you feel like it.
