hostels
Backpackers' cheap beds
Hostels are budget accommodations offering dormitory-style rooms with shared facilities.
Travelers, especially young backpackers, use hostels for cheap lodging: We stayed in hostels across Europe.
Unlike hotels, hostels emphasize communal spaces and socializing over privacy.
Some hostels offer private rooms at higher rates.
Youth hostels traditionally served young travelers but now welcome all ages.
