Hostelling International

Hostelling International is the umbrella brand of youth hostel associations in 57 countries, which operate around 2,650 youth hostels worldwide. What distinguishes HI from other hostel-type accommodation is the principle of quality and quantity: all member associations must fulfil the internationally agreed minimum standards in terms of comfort, so that you can rely on a uniform level of service and facilities everywhere. No other hostel provider can offer this level of reliability. So be sure to look for the HI logo when you book a hostel.

HI also prides itself on its variety of budget accommodation: from medieval castles to modern eco hostels, log cabin style ski lodges and even accommodation in a disused jumbo jet! There are small youth hostels with a private atmosphere as well as bustling and vibrant locations.
