Staying at German Youth Hostels: A Refreshing Experience for Everyone
Accommodation havens detach from age demarcation, catering to guests of all ages. - Accommodation for all age groups: Youth hostels no longer exclusive to the youth.
It's no longer just a haven for the young! Hessian youth hostels are revamping their image to cater to a wider demographic, inviting everyone to join. Knut Stolle, a board member at the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH), assures, "Our doors welcome all guests in all youth hostels."
School groups, families, friends, and solo travelers can look forward to a stay. For instance, the youth hostel in Wetzlar, after a core renovation, now boasts a mix of single/double beds and bunk beds, inviting not just young souls but also families and businesses.
Accessibility for All
Hessian hostels extend a warm welcome to individuals with disabilities too. Though every historic building might not be wheelchair-accessible, Wetzlar and Burg Hessenstein have adapted, offering quiet, wheelchair-friendly rooms. Collaborations with healthcare facilities provide care beds, catering to the needs of the visually and hearing impaired, and those with cognitive disabilities.
Freedom to Roam
A membership with DJH is all one needs to secure a cozy spot in a hostel. The association, since its inception, has championed environmental education, sustainability, and open-minded dialogue. So, traveling with the DJH isn't just about a place to rest, but an opportunity to embrace green values and participate in a diverse, inclusive community.
