What is the meaning \/ definition of Hostel in the hospitality industry<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The term Hostel describes an establishment that provides inexpensive food and lodging<\/a> for people, such as students, workers, or budget travellers. Hostels, often provide shared accommodation<\/a>, hosting several people in one room. Other facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens and living areas are also commonly shared with other guests.<\/p>\n

While youth hostels, specifically target the younger segment, hostels are mostly open to all ages. Being meant for low-budget travellers, a luxury such as privacy is not regularly found. On the contrary the environment facilitates a more social way of travelling. It allows guests to surround themselves with other travellers, therefore being a preferred accommodation type of solo travellers\/ backpackers. Hostels can be found in almost every country, city and are one of the simplest forms of accommodation in the hospitality industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
