Aberdeen's budget accommodation scene is primarily centered around its well-regarded youth hostel, with fewer dedicated social guesthouses for backpackers. Cheap hotels are available but generally do not offer a strong social atmosphere.
1. Aberdeen Youth Hostel
Type: Hostel
Situated within walking distance of city attractions, this hostel provides a comfortable and practical base for exploring Aberdeen and the surrounding areas. Guests can expect light and airy rooms, often with essential facilities. While not explicitly described as a party hostel, youth hostels typically offer opportunities for guests to connect in communal areas, providing a chance to meet fellow travelers. Amenities include free Wi-Fi and laundry facilities.
At TFA Travel we believe in travel for all. Our mission is to enable people to explore the world as easily as possible without having to pay a travel agent a huge commission.
Our typical audience are those that want to see something new and get involved with authentic experiences of a country. Whether you are a backpacker, solo traveller, solo female traveller, straight or LGBTQ+ couple, family, you will find local and authentic experiences here.
