Well, some may have their own policies. For example, some require you to book or check in with a credit card – and you have to be 18 to own one of those.
However, I have found a couple of hostels that would accept this, with some restrictions, if you would consider that. Many hostels, especially if you book a private room, work just like budget hotels, albeit often with shared bathrooms and kitchens.
For example, the Barcelona Urbany Hostel states in their FAQ:
If the person under 18 travels with an adult, they can stay in the
hostel but only in a private room (never a shared dorm). If the person
under 18 travels alone or with another person under 18, we’ll ask for
an Authorization document signed by an adult relative or legal tutor,
and they will be allowed to stay in the hostel but only in a private
room (never a shared dorm).
The Mediterranean Youth Hostel says:
No guests under 16.
So 17 year olds would be allowed there. However, it doesn’t mention whether or not they can travel alone – it’d be worth checking if that’s what you’re planning on doing. Regardless, a letter from your parents or teacher or guardian will always help smooth things over.
