Youth Hostels

Supervised shelter providing inexpensive overnight lodging, particularly for young people. Often located in historic areas, hostels range from simple farmhouses to hotels able to house several hundred people.

Hostels place limits on the length of stay and formerly set a maximum-age limit for guests. Guests often cook their own meals, make their own beds, and do other chores.

Youth Hostels

The hosteling movement was founded by Richard Schirrmann, a German schoolteacher.

He was concerned about the health of young people breathing polluted air in industrial cities.

Common in Germany in the early 1900s, they spread through Europe and other parts of the world after World War I.
