Hostels aren't just for students anymore! It used to be that a hostel was a location only for college students. There are thousands of hostels all over the world and many of them are now equipped with room for adults, and even families. This page will give you some basic information on hostels and hostel locations world-wide. Hopefully this information will help you decide if you would like to overnight in a hostel. One word of warning however. Most hostels still cater to a younger crowd. So, if you do not enjoy being around young people, you may want to make another choice. Choose a topic below and just click on that topic for additional information.

And, the price is great!  Youth memberships, good until your 18th birthday, are FREE and do not expire until you reach the age of 18.  Then, you have to purchase a yearly membership at a cost of only $25.  Memberships for seniors are only $15 and lifetime memberships (which never,  never expire!) are only $250!  Membership in HI-AYH will also give you access to activities sponsored by your local Hostelling International Council which includes such things as organized biking and hiking, special speakers, travel workshops, and more!

In the USA, HI-AYH has 35 local and regional councils, each responsible for its own development, maintenance, operation and fund raising. The 27-member National Board of Directors, elected by representatives of the local councils, includes leaders from business, government, education and nonprofit organizations.
