A hostel is a safe, affordable dormitory-style accommodation with a kitchen and common area for socializing and eating meals. Unlike other accommodations that segregate people, hostels promote interaction among people from all over the world.
There are hostels worldwide, 72 of them in the United States, including Malabar Farm here in Ohio.
