Why One Should Prefer Youth Hostels?
As I said for four main reasons, convenience, affordability, clean, and safe.
The hostels are almost good in numbers in every state of the country, in near circumstances (mostly near or around the tourist places), so you will find no stress in finding them so.
* Affordability is a major concern, And YHAI is known for its very decent prices for stays As I did book once in one of them in Bangalore, near Benson town and price was around 200-250 RS for basic dormitories.
* Clean, as I have seen and heard from they are well maintained sanitary systems and clean rooms with food facility within, again at an affordable cost.
* Safety, As they are mostly within the city, with separate rooms and sanitary for men and women. And had a warden for all the maintenance. they are mostly safe enough to rely upon.
* And they do have an online booking service for convenience.
Accommodations :
Accommodation is provided to the members by YHAI Hostels at a nominal cost. While the member can avail of all the modern facilities, there is a home-like ambiance in the Hostel. YHAI ensures the best quality food for the member to satisfy the taste buds. Hygiene maintenance in all respects has alway
s been YHAI's commitment.
Price :
Youth hostels will give the best and cheap accommodation to its members. Accordingly, the members can avail of the facilities offered by YHAI at a very nominal cost. The members will be guaranteed a pleasant and comfortable stay in the hostel at the best price seen nowhere else. As they say.

My favorite thing about Youth hostels :
Now let's talk about what will be the vibes of the hostels,
In my sense, you will find some people with exiting experiences and stories to share. so being a hotelier for many years in engineering college, and if so you are, you know how much it was fun and worth spending time. And you will get people from across the country, which ensures the diversity of the group and enriching your vibes.
The people like I find were traveling for years. and If you spend some time with them, of course, you do during your activities, they will teach you a lot even life lessons, hence getting good friends and value in our pocket. And they are affordable yet. what else one needs?
For conclusion :
The YHAI is the energy of the Indian youths. You will find the rich culture and heritage of the country by their activities, their society beneficial approach by their affordable services. And the education and knowledge you do get are practical, on compared with school systems, And will help in your life, which you will never forget. with that said,
Thank you for your time and patience. Happy travel to you.
