Youth Hostels Association: If your budget bids you look for drastically low-priced lodgings you may heed its wishes without apprehension. In almost any city you may shop around and find a plain but clean room for as little as a dollar; and in Youth Hostels (a booklet about them is to be had; check with American Youth Hostels, 6 East 39th St., New York) a bed is to be had, as I have been told, for 50 pfennigs, which is—12 cents! There are about 660 hostels in Germany.For very inexpensive travel, the Scottish Youth Hostels Association lists about 100 hostels where a member or affiliate member may lodge for 1/6 or 2s. a night, this being a top figure of 28 cents. Bus travel throughout Scotland, it may be added, costs very little.
These places generally work out better than the commercial hotels, the private hotels and—dreariest of all—the temperance hotels, Those bent on "total thrift" will find that cycling is popular in Britain and that Youth Hostels are everywhere. The main British office of the Youth Hostel Association is at 21 Bedford St., London, W.C.I. The YMCA, with its "Holidays" office at 37 Bedford Square, London, W.C.I and the YWCA, with its similar office at 108 Baker St., London, W.I, have their own hostels and holiday centers but cooperate closely with the Association. You'll have lots of cheerful young company if you go it cheap, for the British are insatiable holiday seekers and lack of money rarely hinders them. |
