What is an A & O place?
Just a normal youth hostel. Usually you have to be a member of the German Youth Hostel Association or the Youth Hostel Association. Could be that you have to pay yourself a tempory youth hostel membership in addition to the price of the hostel. That happened to me when I first visited something similar in Milan. It seems like there is no age requirements.
------------
The youth hostel membership costs 21 EUR a year - could be that you have to pay that in addition to the price of the room...

In that link you find an A&O in Dortmund: http://www.aohostels.com/en/dortmund/dortmund-hauptbahnhof/ - and if I recognize it right there is still rooms in all dates in December...
No mention of this when booking on UK hotel booking site.

Altstadt. Loads of bars, you'll be spoilt for choice. Xmas markets are on too.

Cheers. Is it all trendy bars or are there some proper pubs round in that area too?
