Hostels provide budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, although private rooms may also be available. Hostels may include a hot meal in the price.
Hostels are generally cheaper for both the operator and the occupants; many hostels have long-term residents whom they employ as desk clerks or housekeeping staff in exchange for free accommodation.
In a few countries, such as the UK, Ireland, Asia, and Australia, the word hostel usually refers to establishments providing longer-term accommodation (often to specific classes such as nurses, drug addicts, or court defendants on bail) where the hostels are sometimes run by Housing Associations and charities. In India and Pakistan, hostel also refers to boarding schools or student dormitories in resident colleges and universities. In the rest of the world, the word hostel refers only to properties offering shared accommodation to travellers or backpackers.
Within the 'traveller' category, another distinction can be drawn between hostels which are members of Hostelling International (HI), a UK-based, non-profit organization encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young (formerly the IYHA), and independently operated hostels. Hostels for travellers are sometimes called backpackers' hostels, particularly in Australia and New Zealand (often abbreviated to just "backpackers").

Years ago i backpacked traveled through South America, its traveling on a budget. But recently I took a trip to Nicaragua, to learn a little bit about the country. And what I've notices is an epidemic of backpack travelling. Hostels, cities, country buses are all full of tourists traveling on a budget through central-south america. And more and more businesses cater to the travelers. Its not a bad way of traveling but it has changed from my time. Its more of Hostel Party oriented now, and don't get to learn a lot of the local culture and spend time with the locals like it used to be.
The ship that you see in the background is a hostel named Af Chapman. It's a very nice place to stay at if you want to stay in the center of Stockholm, and don't want to spend too much money on once of the fancy hotels. The shot was taken during my photo walk with Johan Lindström.

Window and entrance to Hostel 36, Heidelberg
By now we have visited Heidelberg several times, spending a total of perhaps a couple of weeks there. We have relatives (Patty's brother and sister-in-law) who live there, so we almost always include a visit when we are in that part of the world. By now we've wandered a bit around the city, especially the Altstadt area and its surroundings, but also on the other side of the hill that runs along the opposite of the Neckar.
The Altstadt is, of course, a bit of a tourist destination. It is an older area of the city, many of the streets are narrow enough that there is little or no vehicle traffic, it is filled with restaurants, hotels, and other things that attract visitors, with historic churches, a university, and a large castle in the hills above. I recall that the first visit took us right up one of those streets filled with shops and restaurants. We still go there, but we also wander away from the "main drag" and into some of the back streets. It was on one such walk that I spotted this scene, a hostel with an unusual color exterior color scheme.

I didn't know that they had a hostel when we came here and I was curious about it. This is the entrance to the hostel. Notice the inviting razor wire greeting you as you arrive. There was a sign saying they were open, but it was kind of hard to get through the locked gate and razor wire.
I looked at some pictures and read some reviews of the place and most people had nice things to say about the hostel environment. For only $30 you can get a place to sleep for the night. If you do stay here, you have to remember you are off the grid and they don't have all the normal amenities. No running water, flush toilets, or on grid electricity.
You have a community outdoor shower, porta potties, and a shared outdoor cooking area. You will be sleeping in an old camper that probably can't be put on the road again. Sound inviting, then get onto the air bnb site and reserve a room.
Still a youth hostel today although I gather the SYHA has been rebranded 'Hostelling Scotland' since 2018. The building dates back to the early 19th century having been built in connection with the local salmon fishing industry.

Un projet fou ! Fou ! Fou ! ... Génial ! Tout simplement génial !
Voilà qui devrait rappeler beaucoup de bons souvenirs à tous ceux qui ont pris les trains couchettes, notamment pour se rendre en classes de neige en Suisse !
I paid for my Limerick overnights with money made doing some busking at the castle with my tinwhistle.
Built in 1893 by cigar manufacturer Per Svensson, a.k.a. The Cigar King. From 1982 a hostel.

A great little abandoned hostel - the exterior is covered in ivy and even growing out of the upstairs window
The night of August 2 was spent in a polo field after I was discharged from the hospital (hit by a van in Datchet soon after leaving Heathrow). I woke August 3 shivering in the rain, the low point of a 4 week trip. Henley-on-Thames let me stay there on their off day (second tier hostels would close one day a week) out of pity (banged up face with stitches around my right eye, etc).
