FAQs

Will I need I.D. and credit card to check in?

Yes! Hotels need a credit card and I.D. to hold the room. If you book online, you'll also need to have both with you to confirm your identity and the booking.

Is it legal for an 18-year-old to check in to a hotel?

It is legal. At 18 years old, you are a legal adult, although many hotels prefer that their guests are 21.

Before you book, ensure the hotel allows 18-year-olds to check-in.

What are alternatives to hotels for 18-year-olds?

If you can't find a hotel room or would prefer an alternative place to stay, hostels and Airbnbs are great options.

While a hostel might not be the most luxurious place to stay, it will have the basics, and you'll likely meet people from all over the world. Airbnb offers you the privacy you wouldn't have at a hotel, and you can handle all your meals yourself.

Why do some hotels have an age requirement of 21?

Since the drinking age is 21, having anyone younger stay at a hotel can be a liability issue, especially in destinations known for partying.
