A youth hostel is an inexpensive form of accommodation primarily designed for young travelers or backpackers on a budget. The concept of youth hostels originated in Germany in the early 20th century and has since spread throughout the world.

Youth hostels typically offer affordable dormitory-style accommodations, where multiple beds are placed in a single room, with shared bathrooms and common areas such as lounge, kitchen, and dining area. However, some hostels also provide private rooms with en-suite facilities.
