Finding the right accommodation type can shape your travel rhythm. Here's how to decide what works for your Interrail trip.

Hostels Are Best For:

• Solo travellers and social explorers
• Budget-conscious long-haul routes
• Cooking meals to save costs

Hotels Are Better If:

• You’re a couple or travelling in a small group
• You want downtime between stops
• You’re arriving late and want a quiet, easy check-in

Smart Strategy

Mix both. Book hostels in social cities like Berlin or Budapest, and go for hotels in places where you need rest or are only staying one night.
