Hostels in Jersey Channel Islands

Jersey is home to two hostels, the Jersey Accommodation and Activity Centre, and the Durrell Wildlife Hostel. We’ve stayed in both of them and can offer an inexpensive way to explore Jersey. Plus you’ll be sure to meet and interact with other Jersey travelers, which makes it a great way to holiday on this beautiful island.

Jersey Accommodation and Activity Centre

The centre can be found near the beautiful east coast, located in St. Martin. This accommodation has been specifically designed to host a large range of guests, from groups to individuals to even large-scale stag or hen parties.

As a result, they have a selection of single rooms, spacious bunk-bed rooms and family rooms. Some of these are en-suite, and the further in advance you book, the more choice of rooms you can have to suit your needs whether you are travelling alone, with friends or with your family – this is the same for their self-catering fully equipped kitchen.

Although this comes at a small additional cost (1-2 people: £3 per day, 3-5 people: £5 per day,) having this facility will give you the freedom to buy and prepare all your own food which can help to keep costs down and spend more time on your daily outdoors adventures.

It’s also a major bonus to bear in mind that their basic price even includes bed and a breakfast buffet, the perfect opportunity to stock up and fuel up for the day!

They also have a private campsite, available to customers who book directly through their service, as well as activities which staff can help to organise for all guests of the hostel, including stargazing, boules, croquet, rounders, football, archery and barbecues.

Getting around the east of the island couldn’t be easier, especially if you have your own vehicle.

Roads can be small and frequently intercepted by green lanes (limited to 15mph), but exploring these narrow streets is part of the fun! Buses also run around this part of the island; timetables can be checked at www.libertybus.je.

Cliff paths are very accessible from the centre – you can join at any point, or start at one bay and walk as far as you’d like to go (there are also many pubs along the coast, where you can warm up with a hot chocolate or refresh with a pint!)

Durrell Wildlife Hostel

The Durrell Wildlife Hostel is a traditional Jersey farmhouse situated at the northwesterly corner of Jersey Zoo. The hostel has a range of different room types from 1 person dorms to family suites that sleep up to 6 so whether your travelling with family and friends or on a solo adventure, the hostel has somewhere for you!

Included in your stay is a single ticket to the zoo where you will be able to see all of the amazing animals kept there. You will also have free Wi-Fi, laundry services, a TV lounge, and self-catering facilities for you to cook up your own food. The hostel is not far from an array of restaurants, however, if you want to eat out.
