What activities can you do at youth hostels?

Families, on the other hand, are allocated a private room. Other guests can book double or single occupancy, subject to availability and at an additional cost.
-
Can teenagers travel alone to the youth hostel?
Young people aged 16 to 17 travelling alone are welcome. However, parental authorisation is required for any unaccompanied stay. Children and teenagers under the age of 16 cannot stay alone in a youth hostel, but only when accompanied by an adult.

For more information on the declaration of consent, see: guichet.public.lu.

-
Do you need a youth hostel membership card to stay in a youth hostel? If so, why? And what is a “day pass”?
Youth hostels are a non-profit association (ASBL) that is also a member of the international youth hostel federation ‘Hostelling International’, which brings together more than 2,600 hostels in over 57 countries. It is therefore necessary to have a valid ‘Hostelling International’ card from your national youth hostel federation. People who do not have a membership card and who do not live in Luxembourg can purchase a day pass on site for €4 per person per night, which allows them to become a member for one night.
Annual membership entitles you to a €4 discount per adult per night in Luxembourg youth hostels, as well as numerous discounts on admission fees in Luxembourg and abroad, and a discount of at least 10% on the price of a night’s stay in more than 2,600 youth hostels worldwide. What’s more, as a member, you contribute to the qualitative development of youth hostels in order to meet visitors’ expectations.
