bunkhouse Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkhouse You've already suggested hostel yourself, and I have an aversion to recycling the asker's own suggestions. (I wouldn't say that is a pointless exercise, as such answers are the ones that usually get chosen.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-02-01 22:35:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A bunkhouse is a hostel or barracks-like building ... (Das Soldatenhaus ist eine preiswerte Unterkunft...) In the United Kingdom, a bunkhouse provides accommodation with fewer facilities than a larger, staffed youth hostel. Bunkhouses are found in mountainous areas, such as the Scottish Highlands, as well as rural areas in England and Wales, for example at All Stretton. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkhouse -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2015-02-01 22:50:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- camping house = a house that/which camps |

barracks/headquarters Explanation: The text requires two terms: Newly renovated barracks..... ...a popular headquarters for schools.... I suggest this for this particular text, accentuating the military background as well as giving a special sense of living 'in the center'. The term would certainly appeal to schoolkids. |
