Alternatives to Hotels for 18 Year Olds

If you don’t want to stay at any of these hotels, you do have a couple of other options.

Airbnb

You can usually stay at an Airbnb as an 18 year old. Hosts can change their age requirement policy so make sure to check before booking but this is uncommon and most allow 18 year olds.

Youth Hostels

Youth hostels are another great alternative for 18 year olds as their target audience is young people. They are also very cheap but you will have to sacrifice some comfort and privacy.

Will I need I.D. to check in as an 18 year old?
