Some information that might come in useful
Most youth hostels offer private rooms and dormitories. Private rooms are usually singles, twins or doubles though some properties also offer triples.
Dormitories vary in size from location to location but generally range from 4 beds to up to 20 beds (or even more sometimes in European cities!).
Most dormitories offer bunk-beds though some offer a selection of bunks and regular single or double beds.
Most hostels offer some ensuite rooms - this comes from the French word meaning 'in the suite' and means that you have your own private bathroom in your room. A private bathroom is located outside your room but is for your personal use only. Both will generally consisting of a toilet, wash-hand basin and shower. Standard or non-ensuite rooms involve sharing communal shower / toilet facilities which are generally provided not too far away on the same corridor.
Many hostels have a self-catering kitchen where you can cook your own meals, some even have their own restaurants, caf's and bars.
Almost all hostels offer lockers either free of charge or for hire so that people staying on dormitories can lock up their valuables. These are either provided in the dorms or in a separate area.
Some hostels have curfews or lock-outs, though this is becoming less common - always check the microsite for an individual property before you book.
Almost all youth hostels provide linen, though some do charge an extra hire charge - again check the microsites for individual details.
