Both offer low-cost, basic but comfortable sleeping accommodation, with washrooms, recreation rooms, etc. suitable for cyclists, walkers, hikers and anyone travelling on a budget. You can buy breakfast and evening meals, or cook your own. They offer very good value for groups, and often have good conference/ teaching rooms.
