More about a&o hostels:

As Europe’s largest Hostel chain a&o is simple, diverse and always with a smile. We push our mission “everyone can travel” through affordable prices and constant growth. By 2025, the company wants to be the first European hostel chain to be CO2 net zero – reducing its own ecological footprint to a minimum and offsetting the rest.
Since its foundation, a&o Hostels has seen itself as an employer whose teams are formed regardless of origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion or ethnicity.

Although a&o Hostels does not operate a hostel in Kosovo itself, almost all departments at our Berlin head office are supported by our colleagues at our ServiceCentre in Pristina city centre. We currently employ around 60 people in Pristina.
