Company Overview
JO&JOE is a brand created in 2017. Our ‘open houses’ combine the comfort of a hotel with the friendliness of a youth hostel. Caring, colourful, open living spaces. Ideally located in international cities, our hostels offer an experience for travellers AND locals (rooftops, restaurants, bars, events, designer rooms at affordable prices). Each JO&JOE is unique, with a community rooted in neighbourhood life. We believe that travelling is not about affordability, but about being open‑minded and wanting to meet new people. We're just waiting for you.
JO&JOE is an inclusive company, and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent.
