Youth hostels often have specific house rules to keep things orderly and quiet at night. If you're heading out with a group, check whether there are any age limits or restrictions on group sizes. To keep your electronics and passport safe in shared dorms, you'll want personal lockers, so bring your own padlock or check if one is provided. Review safety policies before paying for your bed.
