We are part of the global Hostelling International network

The Finnish Hostel Association is part of the global Hostelling International (HI) network. Located in some of the world’s most inspiring locations, the Hostelling International network offers over 3 000 unique hostels in about 60 countries worldwide. The Finnish HI-hostels are also part of the global Hostelling International (HI) network.

Hostelling International (HI) is a non-profit association founded in 1932, whose purpose, together with national member associations, is to make it possible for everyone, but especially young people, to experience new places and learn about cultures, and to promote understanding between people. HI is one of the largest youth organizations in the world. There are more than 3 million holders of the international hostel card, and about 35 million overnight stays are accumulated each year.

All Hostelling International (HI) hostels meet assured standards, which guarantee a range of good quality safe accommodation, in friendly surroundings at affordable prices. Within the network you will find a range of interesting places to stay, from medieval castles to modern eco-hostels! Some are small and intimate with private rooms, others are vibrant, buzzing places where you can meet fellow travelers from around the world.

A private person can become a member of HI by purchasing a Hostelling International eMembership or a hostel card. With the HI Membership or a hostel card, you will always receive a discount saving you at least 10 % off your bill in all Hostelling International (HI) hostels worldwide. The Hostelling International eMembership and hostel card allow access to other possible travel related benefits as well!
