youth hostel

Budget traveler accommodation

A youth hostel is inexpensive lodging offering basic accommodations—typically dormitory-style rooms with shared bathrooms—primarily for young travelers and backpackers.

Despite the name, most welcome guests of any age.

Hostels encourage social interaction among travelers and often include communal kitchens and common areas: We stayed at youth hostels across Europe to stretch our budget.
