Do hostels have age restrictions for guests?

Yes, hostels may have age restrictions for guests. While each hostel sets its own policies, it is common to find age restrictions in place. Many hostels cater primarily to young travelers and backpackers, with age limits ranging from 18 to 35 years old. Some hostels may have a minimum age requirement of 18 or 21 to ensure a vibrant and social atmosphere for their target audience. Conversely, a few hostels specifically cater to families or older travelers and may have age restrictions in place to ensure a peaceful and comfortable environment for their guests. Therefore, it is important for prospective guests to check the hostel's specific policies and age restrictions in advance to ensure a suitable accommodation option is available for their age range.
