There are a handful of different places you can stay while traveling, and hostels have always been among the most popular—but why is that the case? After all, hotels are as lavish as they come, AirBnBs are unique and creative, and both of them are a lot more private than hostels. So why do hostels have so much hype? Is it just because they’re cheaper, or is there more to it?
Fun Events
The fact that hostels are cheaper is certainly a major factor that adds to their popularity—but it also doesn’t hurt that hostels are always a fun and lively place to hang out. If you’re a traveler looking to have a good time, you could “roll the dice” by looking for fun clubs in the city you’re visiting and hope you find something cool. But hostels are always creating fun events for members to attend, and these events are a lot safer and more controlled than any party you may find on your own.
You Meet a Lot More People
This leads us to our next point, which is that you’re guaranteed to meet tons more people at a hostel. There are many out there not just looking to see cool sights, but also to meet interesting people from around the world. This is guaranteed to happen at any hostel you visit, and the best part is that most of the people you meet will be fellow travelers just like you!
