About Jaeger's Hostel
Every backpacker I know has stories from Jaeger's, and for good reason. The international vibe here during Oktoberfest is infectious - I've seen impromptu dirndl-buying expeditions form in the common room and lifelong friendships forged over shared hangovers. Insider tip: their location near Hauptbahnhof means you're stumbling distance from late-night food trucks, which you'll desperately need after a day at the Wiesn.
