Legal Definitions - hosteler

A hosteler refers to an individual who either stays as a guest in a youth hostel or, in an older context, works as a stableman caring for horses.

• Example 1: A Traveler in a Youth Hostel
  During her backpacking trip across Southeast Asia, Sarah frequently stayed in youth hostels to save money and meet other travelers. For the duration of her stays in these establishments, Sarah was considered a hosteler, utilizing the shared accommodations and common facilities provided by the hostels.

  This example illustrates the most common modern usage of the term, referring to a person who is a guest at a youth hostel.

• Example 2: An Equestrian Caretaker
  At the historic equestrian estate, Mr. Henderson has dedicated his life to the care of the horses. He is responsible for their daily feeding, grooming, mucking out their stalls, and ensuring their general well-being. In this traditional role, Mr. Henderson is a hosteler, embodying the meaning of a stableman.

  This example demonstrates the older, but still occasionally relevant, meaning of a hosteler as someone who works with and cares for horses in a stable.
