It is a city of school and college trips, of solo first journeys and friends&#8217; first weekends away. The desk at check-in is where those trips begin. Two questions come up before the booking is made: what counts as hostel ID proof in Jaipur, and how old you have to be. Both are set by the hostel rather than by one rule for the city, so the answer has to come from the property you are booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/gostops.com\/stay\/Jaipur\/civillinesjaipur-hostel\">goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines<\/a> the rules fit in three lines. Every guest shows a government photo ID at check-in, and local IDs are accepted while a PAN card is not. The primary guest on the booking must be 18 or over. Guests under 18 can stay when accompanied by an adult over 18. What follows is what those lines mean for a solo traveller, a family, a group of friends and a school or college group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hostel ID proof in Jaipur at goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines is a government photo ID for every guest: Aadhaar, a driving licence or a passport. A PAN card is not accepted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local IDs are accepted, so a Jaipur or Rajasthan address on the ID checks in like any other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The primary guest on the booking must be 18 or over, and under-18s stay with an accompanying adult over 18.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The front desk is staffed 24 hours, so the ID check happens whatever hour the train or bus arrives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What counts as hostel ID proof in Jaipur?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A government photo ID for every guest, not only the one who made the booking. At goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines the IDs accepted are Aadhaar, a driving licence and a passport. A PAN card is not accepted. Local IDs are accepted, so a guest with a Jaipur address checks in on the same terms as one from Delhi or Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary guest&#8217;s ID has to match the name on the booking. For everyone else, the ID establishes who they are and, for an under-18, how old they are. The check happens at the front desk, which is staffed 24 hours, and the guest is shown to the bed or the room once it is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Good to know:<\/strong> carry the ID in the form the desk can read. A physical Aadhaar card, driving licence or passport is the simple option, and it is the one thing every guest on the booking needs to have with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the age rule for checking in?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary guest, the person whose name the booking is in and who checks the group in, must be 18 or over. That person is responsible for the booking and shows their ID first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests under 18 can stay when they are accompanied by an adult over 18. A family with a teenager fits the rule, and so does a parent with a child. A group of college friends with a 17-year-old in it, an older sibling travelling with a younger one, or a school group with its teachers all fit it too. What it does not allow is an under-18 booking or staying alone. For an under-18, both IDs are shown at the desk: the adult&#8217;s to establish the adult, and the under-18&#8217;s own to establish the age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> for a group, have every ID out before you reach the desk. Check-in for eight people goes quickly when nobody is searching a bag for a card, and the property has an 8-bed dorm for exactly that group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does check-in work for a family or a school group?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A family takes a private room for two or a set of dorm beds. The adult is the primary guest and the children are covered by the accompanying rule. goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines has nine private rooms, each sleeping two with an ensuite bathroom and AC. It has 86 dorm beds in rooms of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 beds, plus a 4-bed female-only dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A school or college group checks in with its teachers or staff as the adults over 18 and the students as the accompanied under-18s. Each shows their own ID. For a group of that size, the beds are booked together. That applies the group discount, 15% for four or more and 20% for more than seven, and keeps the group in the same dorms. Groups and institutions can write to sales@gostops.com for rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can visitors come into the hostel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-resident visitors are limited to the reception and common areas. The dorm floors are for staying guests. A friend or a relative who is not booked in meets you in the common spaces rather than in the room. The rule applies to everyone, including an adult visiting an under-18 who is staying with another adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gostops.com\/stay\/Jaipur\/civillinesjaipur-hostel\"><strong>goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> clear rules at the desk, with a government photo ID for every guest, the primary guest 18 or over and under-18s welcome with an adult.

The group of friends checks in with the primary guest&#8217;s ID first and the rest after it. A 17-year-old in the group stays on the strength of an adult over 18. The family and the school group take rooms or dorm beds with the adults as the primary guests. Companies booking employee stays follow the same rules at the desk, with each employee showing their own ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three lines at the desk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hostel ID proof in Jaipur at goSTOPS Jaipur, Civil Lines is a government photo ID for every guest.
