Een hostel is een vorm van accommodatie voor overnachting. In vergelijking met een hotel is er vaak sprake van meer gezamenlijk te delen voorzieningen. Hierdoor is er dus minder privacy, zoals door alle gasten te gebruiken sanitair en slaapkamers of -zalen voor meerdere niet bij elkaar horende gasten. Ook anderszins kan sprake zijn van minder luxe-faciliteiten, waarmee de prijs voor een overnachting laag is. De begrippen hostel en jeugdherberg zijn grotendeels synoniem. De benaming hostel won in de loop van de 20e eeuw aan populariteit met de commercialisering.
