Answer:
Youth hostels, also known as “travelers’ hostels,” “backpackers’ hostels,” or just “hostels,” are a form of budget accommodations catering to international or domestic travelers. Hostels can be found all around the world, in many different forms. Most provide dormitory lodging, while some have limited private rooms. Hostels usually have much lower rates than hotels or motels. Many hostels, especially those catering to young adults, are part of Hostelling International, while others are independently operated.
