Euro Hostels appeal to all ages and markets. Particularly popular with groups (sports teams, education, stags and hens), tourists, backpackers, sports fans, students and key workers to name a few.

The sleeping capacity of the bedroom determines the number of WHB, toilets and showers required. 1 of each item per 4 people is the applicable ratio to a maximum of 3 of each item per room i.e. 5-8 person rooms will require 2 of each item and 9-14 person rooms will require 3.
