Hostels have become trendy accommodation places recently, and nowadays, more and more tourists choose to stay in Hostels rather than Hotels. Not just because of the price difference but also because Hostels allow you to meet like-minded people and provide great amenities and complimentary breakfast.

 

What can be better for those who travel solo on a budget? Do not get me wrong; hostels are not just for solo travelers; they are for all kinds of tourists, but most of the people who stay there will be solo travelers. That is a fact.

 

Here is my list of 97 top hotels in the USA, which will give you an idea of what to expect, how much it costs per night, the rating, and many more. And if you have never stayed in hostels before, now is your time.

 

Those hostels which marked as personal recommendations based on my own experience. Enjoy the reading:).
