Youth Hostels are a favoured form of accommodation for many because of the varied benefits and experiences they offer.
Youth Hostels are generally made up of shared dormitories with beds and bunk-beds, plus many have private rooms for couples and smaller parties. Many have their own refreshment facilities, and are great places to meet other people who are travelling.

One of the main appeals for those opting to stay in a Youth Hostel is the price. Hostel accommodation is much cheaper than Hotels and B&Bs, allowing those on a budget to travel widely and holiday in a large variety of locations.
Youth Hostels are particularly ideal for people travelling from place to place for an extended period of time longer than the average fortnight break.
Another benefit of cheap accommodation is that it allows you to spend your budget on other things, such as dining out in Restaurants in Suffolk, buying gifts & mementoes from Shops in Suffolk, or exploring the many Days Out and Things to Do in Suffolk.

Almost all hostels offer lockers, either free-of-charge or for hire, to ensure that your belongings and valuables are safe and secure.
To summarise, Youth Hostels are great accommodation options in which travellers and holiday-makers alike can make friends, and base themselves in a prime location for exploring the local town and surrounding areas – and all at a very reasonable price.
