Deciding on where to stay in the US has never been easier: think speakeasy bars, central AF locations, and rooftop pool parties you\u2019ll be telling your grandkids about (the censored version, of course). Hostelworld has some of the best hostels in America, with demand growing fast. Read on for the top hostels in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, travelling in North America is not exactly like South East Asia. Your budget will need to be bigger for the popular cities like New York and San Francisco, and we suggest booking even more in advance than normal to get a cheaper deal, especially for states that have a smaller selection of hostels such as Colorado. Scroll down to the bottom of the article for more practical info ;).<\/p>\n<p>On the flipside, USA hostels also offer endless freebies (Cuban pastries\u00a0and locally roasted Panther Coffee for breakfast anyone?!), activities money can\u2019t buy, and views you won\u2019t believe. From the neon lights of Miami to the snow-tipped mountains of Denver, we\u2019re giving you the hostel lowdown on where to stay in the US without the big fat price tag.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Freehand-Los-Angeles\/Los-Angeles\/272919\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Freehand Los Angeles<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-54530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/gkmilne1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"_rf3jb notranslate\" style=\"text-align: center\" title=\"kagecantread\">\ud83d\udcf7<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gkmilne1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><i>@gkmilne1<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Think of Freehand as a magical accommodation centaur &#8211; half hostel, half hotel.

This is a shiny, colourful brand new art deco building slap bang in the middle of Miami Beach, which would explain the 95% location customer rating. It\u2019s easily the most sociable hostel in South Beach with a whale of an outdoor terrace and two lounge areas. If you\u2019re feeling knackered after a hard day\u2019s adventuring, there\u2019s even a big screen movie room with free screenings \u2013 bonus!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer rating: 8.7<\/li>\n<li>Dorm beds from: \u00a314\/$18<\/li>\n<li>Privates from: \u00a3124\/$161<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Beds-and-Drinks\/Miami\/79901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Book now<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Some of your questions answered&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Quad_legs.jpg\" alt=\"quad_legs\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Are hostels safe in the USA?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can bet your last dime that these hostels have some bad ass security. Say hello to secure lockers, card keys \u00e0 la hotel style, and if you\u2019re keeping it on the DL at night, nine out of ten hostels now have private rooms (but we still think dorms are the spicier option!)<\/p>\n<p><em>Why are hostels more expensive in the US?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The high cost of transportation compared to other countries means the distances are huge and the flights are expensive. However it depends on seasonality of the city itself, so they are not always more expensive. Hostels offer bucket loads of freebies such as yoga classes, breakfasts, and local knowledge you can\u2019t buy!\u00a0The most expensive cities to travel is San Francisco, New York and New Orleans, and the cheaper ones are Seattle and Boston.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why aren\u2019t there as many hostels in the US?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that hostels aren\u2019t as widespread as elsewhere, but there are a good selection in the main cities with California having the most with 76 in total. Less visited places like Arkansas and Connecticut have the least, so popularity is a factor for deciding on where to stay in the US.\u00a0Owners of hostels in the US have revamped and re-styled them into trendy, fun, sociable accommodation, combining a sense of adventure with comfort and safety. Along with traditional dorm rooms many US hostels now come complete with private bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and some even have pools, saunas and bars.<\/p>\n<h2>Why not pin this article for later?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45124 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Pinterest-Pins_2ND_14_EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, backpacking in the USA is the new Europe!
