The term 'youth hostel' is something of a misnomer as hostels are a popular accommodation choice for people of all ages. Hostels are the ideal accommodation for families, backpackers, groups, clubs and individuals - young and old.

Scotland has a wide range of hostels, bunk-houses and bothies on offer. From basic £6 per night ecomomy dormitories to spacious ensuite facilities, Scotland has some of the best hostels in Europe.

Gone are the days when hostelling meant slumming it - hostels have gone upmarket! Some hostels provide guests with a continental breakfast and some inner city hostels even have their own bar! For families there's often the option of booking a group room.

Staying in a hostel is a great way to make new friends and bond with exisiting ones as the sharing of facilities breeds a community atmosphere.

The message is clear - for anyone looking for something clean, affordable and flexible - Scotland's hostels are the answer!
