We are your hygiene heroes!
Your well-being is our top priority. We are proud to present you our hygiene standards, so that really everyone can check in with us again without any problems. SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS is the German market leader in neutral hygiene control. The institute works with more than 100 highly qualified and trained auditors and samplers who are regularly trained. The hygiene concept of a&o Hostels in dealing with COVID-19 has been tested by means of a strict catalog of measures, which takes into account the legal requirements applicable in Germany. The implementation of these hygiene measures and additional measures for contact minimization were verified by the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS in our hotel operations through an audit.
