• Hostel provide budget-oriented, sociable
accommodation where guest can rent a
bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory
and share a bathroom, lounge
and sometimes a kitchen.

3. • Self-catering premises
• Premises providing meals.
 Hostels fall into one of two categories:
• Each unit should have the use of a kitchen separate from the sleeping area.
• For premises housing single persons there should be a minimum of 1 set of
kitchen facilities for every 5 persons.
 Self catering
• It is acknowledged that many occupants, particularly single persons in such
establishments choose not to cook their own food. Therefore, where it can be
satisfied to the authority that the practices and arrangements are such that the
facilities can be used freely during the day without congestion, the authority may
consider, on application, dispensing with the minimum requirements contained
in 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 (above).

4.  Non self catering (meals provided)
• In such circumstances outlined at 2.4.3 at least one fully equipped kitchen
with adequate dining facilities within or adjacent to the kitchen must be
available at reasonable times for those occupants wishing to utilise the
facilities.
• Refer to document G for the general requirements
• Kitchen provisions must meet the requirements of the current legislation
relating to food safety in commercial premises. 2.5.2 Where limited catering is
provided (Bed and Breakfast or Bed/Breakfast and evening meal) there should
be the facility for occupants placed there, to make a hot beverage at any time
and to have easy access to facilities to prepare cooked food at reasonable hours
e.g. microwaveable food which has been brought in by the resident.

5.  Classification of
hostel building

idea of hostels rapidly spread overseas
and eventually resulted in hosteling
international, an organization
composed of more than 90 different
youth hostel association
representing over 4,500 youth hostels
in over 80 countries. some young
hostels cater more too school-aged
children (sometimes through school
trips) and parents with their children,
whereas others are more for travelers
intent on learning new cultures.

6. • INDEPENDENT
HOSTELS: The word
independent is used
to refer to non HI
Hostels.
• BOUTIQUE HOSTELS:
The phrase
'boutique hostel' an
often arbitrary
marketing term
typically used to
describe intimate,
luxurious or quickly
hostel environments.

7. • MOBILE HOSTELS:
Though very
uncommon, a mobile
hostel is a hostel with
no fixed location. It
can exist in the form
of a campsite, a
temporary building,
bus, van or a short
term agreement in a
permanent building.

8.  Personal washing and sanitary facilities
• The number of
washing/bathing
facilities, Water Closets
(WCs) and Wash Hand
Basins (WHB) in relation
to the number of persons
is as follows:
• Refer to 3.0 of document
G for the general personal
washing and sanitary
requirements.

10. Dormitories All hostels must have separate
dormitories for men and women, with separate
access; areas should be 4m2 per single or double
bunk, 5 m3 per person. Adequate ventilation must be
provided (commonly taken to mean 1/20th of the
floor area). Traditionally, dormitories are used by
either sex as bookings demand. Four- and six-bed
dormitories are generally considered to be the
maximum size for new hostels. Consideration
should also be given to: possible future sub-division;
the top bunks folding against the wall; additional
privacy provided by partitions at bed-ends; and
improving sound insulation.

11. • Leisure areas :
These will vary enormously depending
on which groups the hostel is catering for. Games
rooms, amusement machines, tables and bars may be
provided, as well as a quiet area and a smoking
permitted area
• Meeting rooms:
May be required (45m2 minimum),
and should include facilities for slide and video
viewing, blinds and adjustable light levels. Could
also be used as relaxing area for guests or seasonal
bedspace.

encouraged to travel by public transport, but some
simple provision for car parking & bike or scooty parking should be
provided.
Separate coach parking may also be required.

Must be one WC per 12
persons,
and there must be separate
provision for men and
women

Must be one washbasin per six
persons, and one shower per 15 persons. There
should be a changing area adjacent to each shower,
with adequate privacy and changing facilities.
Washrooms must have adequate coat hooks,
mirrors, shelves and shaver points etc.
• Warden/staff :
The warden or other responsible
person must normally be present in the hostel at all
times it is open. Wardens’ accommodation should
be self-contained, preferably away from busy
hostel areas, and never under dormitories. Areas
should be approximately 80 m2 for the
warden manager, and 50 m2 for an assistant

13.  How and why it could be
different for the students
of architecture
• The hostel buildings are designed
with a sensitivity to this unique
experience that sets them apart from
other buildings types. meanwhile for
architecture students we will provide
separate study room and drafting
room for drafting because it is
difficult to draft in staying rooms on
bed. more shelves should be
provided for equipment like drafting
boards, sheets, cardboards, foam
boards, etc. Rooms should be
spacious.
