Hostels may have their quirks, but there’s no reason to avoid them when traveling! Especially if you travel alone, hostels provide cheap and fun accommodation and often unforgettable experience. Here are 3 best tips for your first-time stay in a hostel.
Buy Earplugs
You will share a room with several other people, and there’s no guarantee it will be quiet when you want to sleep.
Watch Your Stuff
This goes without saying, but pay attention to your personal belongings at all times. Hostels are generally safe and filled with like-minded people, but you never know.
Bring Your Own Toiletries
Some hostels offer toiletries but many don’t. Pack small bottles of shampoo, shower gel, and toothpaste just in case. Don’t forget to bring your own towel, pillowcase, and a pair of flip-flops as well.
