Grenoble youth hostel

Grenoble’s youth hostel is a member of the United Federation of Youth Hostels (“Fédération Unie des Auberges de Jeunesse” - FUAJ), the French branch of Hostelling International.
After joining (€7), you can book a bed in a shared room or dormitory for 2, 4 or 8 people at a rate of less than €30 per night including breakfast.
Youth hostels are equipped with kitchens enabling you to cook for yourself.
