How old do you have to be to work in a hostel?

Hi! I was wondering how old you have to be to work in a hostel? I am 17 years old and I really would like to work abroad this summer either at a hostel or doing some sort of workaway in Europe (especially in Spain) but I was not sure where I would be old enough to work? Also please let me know if you know of anywhere that would hire I have of work experience I just was not sure if there were rules about age. Thanks!!

I've done hostel jobs in a few different countries and nobody ever even asked to see my passport.

So long as you behave as maturely as the other young people (ie not very), you will probably be fine.
