Is there any worth to hostels if you're above the age of 30?

Besides the cost-savings.

Internet seems to love hostels (get out there and live life!!! type stuff), but I can't tell if it is just over-glamorized.

You can get a private room in a lot of hostels.

Just pay a little more and get a private room. I prefer the hostels if I'm traveling solo. It also helps to look a lot younger than your age. There's plenty of early 30 year olds at the hostels. Most of them will be European since hostels are still frowned upon in the States.

Hostels are hit and miss. A lot times it depends on the type of people that are there that week. Have you looked at hostelworld.com?

To what end? I assume this is in reference to UK/EU, and there are plenty of clean and cheap hotels there where one gets a private room and proprietary bathroom/shower for ~$60/night.

Is this a real possible outcome? Asking for reasons

We stayed at the Wrigley Hostel on Thursday night on the trip up to Wisconsin for the LSU football game at Lambeau Field. We had our own room.

Most I've met at Hostels were pretty grungy. If you're not that into hygiene.

If you have no standards, it is.

Hostels are a good way to save some money, if that’s your goal. A lot of them have private rooms, but you’ll still probably feel old at them if you’re over 30. And god help you if you end up at one with a bunch of Australians.

I second this. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled a good bit. Without doubt, hands down, the Aussies get blitzed more than anyone I've ever met. Don't give me that south Louisiana, cajun b.s...we're weak compared to them. A full LSU tailgating experience would just be a pre-game or relaxing soiree to those guys.
