New face
Our verdict:
A backpacking fixture, Jaeger’s went through a full-scale facelift a few years back and the results are impressive. The single, double and twin rooms are all-new. These rooms are bright and clean with fine wooden finishings and private bathrooms. The segmented 40-bed basement dormitory is the same as it always was, however. It's clean, simple and, as to be expected, a little bit rowdy. Jaeger's also has four, six, eight and 10-bed dorms, some of which are mixed-sex and some are women-only. There's an age limit of 35 in the dorms, but this doesn't apply if you're in a group and you book out the entire room. There’s a laundry downstairs, internet for €1 per 20min and no curfew. The bar, pool table and friendly staff at Jaeger's have always racked up points from us. Oh, and you get a free shot on arrival!
