youth hostels question?

Question

is there a cut off age for youth hostels in america and europe?

Answer 1

No.

The only place there is a cutoff age is in the German State of Bavaria, where the cutoff date is 26.

My husband and I stay in youth hostels quite often, and we are in our 50's. Indeed there is a discount for "youth" over the age of 65.

In most places they are not called Youth Hostels any more, but just hostels.
