At what age should you stop staying in hostels?

If a hostel has an age limit of 30 or 40, and you look young for your age, there should not be any problem with getting in. Age limits often come with party hostels that have a bar inside—they’ll limit people who are under 16 (or sometimes 18) from staying there.
