    Is hostels still a thing for young people?

    I wonder if AirBnB destroyed that industry. I saw a “hostel” in my city but it was charging $70 a night. When I was growing up, hostels were like $20-30 a night, cheaper than a motel 6.

      Afaik, they’re still around, but inflation and popularity has caused the prices to increase a fair bit.
