"Hostels
are... friendly, inexpensive (US$4-$20) lodgings for
travelers. They provide
dormitory-style accommodations with separate quarters for males and females
(usually). Many hostels have private/family rooms which can be reserved
in advance. Beds come with blankets and pillow; hostel guests provide (or
rent for a modest fee) their own towels and bed linens. Most hostels
also have self-service kitchens or cafeterias, dining areas, secure
storage and common rooms for relaxing and socializing with other
travelers from
around the
world. Some have laundry facilities, travel libraries, and
concierge service. Some even have such unexpected amenities as hot tubs,
swimming pools, and barbecues. Most major urban hostels have 24-hour
access."
