My Friend and I will be backpacking through europe next summer. We will be 17 years old. Does anyone know if their is an age limit on hostels such as nobody younger than 18. We will be in France, Spain, Italy and maybe Switzerland. Will we be okay?

Nobody will care what your age is as long as you can pay for your bed and don't cause problems. Go and have a great time.

I'm pretty sure the previous poster is right for the most part, but I was told when I tried to book one particular hostel in London for my son and I (he's 16) that they only took people between the ages of 18-35. I think almost all HI/YHA hostels will let you in.

My husband and I are also going to prague by the end of September for three days. I've booked the Hotel Salvator near Lesser Tower and Prague 1 Residence on Zitna Street, border of New Town. Did anyone stay there before that can tell me which one is better i.e. the location and convenience. Thanks.

It would probably be best to start a new topic mentioning those hotels and Prague in the subject.
