  • What is a youth hostel?

    Imagine getting all your friends together, in one place, making long-term travel plans. Now place your group in a building with comfy sofas, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable place to sleep – all managed by people with a thirst for travel. In most cases, you’ll also find a shelf stocked with free food in the kitchen. What more could you want?

    Put simply, youth hostels are a type of accommodation. Some have just a few beds. Others have hundreds, sometimes in dormitories, other times in private rooms – and often both. As well as a place to sleep, you’ll almost always find a kitchen with enough space and equipment to cook and store your food. Hostels also have communal areas where you can meet other travellers. What’s more, our staff are on hand to give you tips and advice about the local area and help you book activities or travel to your next destination.
