]]>Never book a hostel before reading reviews and making sure you’ve come across positive guest feedback. Pay extra attention to reviews that focus on comfort to make sure that the hostel in question offers comfy dorm beds with privacy curtains, especially if you’ll be staying there for longer than a day or two.
Even if you’re traveling light, you can still make room in your backpack for certain items that can enhance your sleep quality and overall comfort. Consider bringing a small travel pillow, earplugs, and an eye mask along to make your hostel stay more pleasant.
If you want to indulge in the social factor of staying at hostels, but don’t feel like sharing a dorm with a bunch of strangers, booking a private room is always an option. It’s a great way to enjoy some privacy during your stay, along with a comfy bed and quieter atmosphere.

]]>Many hostels charge extra for towels, and sometimes even for bed linen, so make sure to pack your own, or consider staying at a different hostel if you’re traveling light.
Don’t expect a fancy breakfast when you’re staying at a hostel – especially not for free. If this service is not provided, make sure to book a hostel with a shared communal kitchen where you can prepare your own meals.
If you’re staying in a shared dorm, you’ll most likely have a locker where you can secure your belongings. Lockers will be provided free of charge, but it’s always a good idea to bring your own lock because they don’t always come free.
From walking tours to pub crawls, hostels offer a wide range of activities where you can mingle with other travelers. You’ll sometimes have to pay extra to enjoy them, so it’s best to look for free alternatives elsewhere.
Laundry facilities are provided at most bigger hostels, but be ready to pay extra to wash your clothes because there’s almost always a fee for using this service.

]]>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.
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!

]]>From free dinners and sangria nights to pub crawls and karaoke, hostels often offer a wide range of interesting activities. They’ll allow you to take your travel experience to the next level and do something fun. Just make sure to ask the hostel staff if there’s a fee you need to pay to take part because these activities don’t always come free of charge.
Hostel events are a great place to meet new people and connect with fellow travelers. You’ll especially like them if you’re an introvert and struggle to strike up a conversation at hostels when you’re on your own.
Checking out the weekly calendar or asking hostel staff if they have any free activities in store will help you better organize your time.

]]>If you’re staying at a hostel because they’re the only type of accommodation that fits into your budget, be outside as much as possible. Spend the whole day exploring the city, and only treat your hostel as a place where you’re going to sleep at the end of a long day.
Whether it’s noisy, messy people or dirty shared bathrooms and the lack of privacy, there’s probably a very specific reason why you aren’t a fan of hostels. There are ways to tackle all of these issues, from using earplugs and privacy curtains to asking the staff to clean up dirty areas.
Staying at hostels may not be your “dream come true” travel scenario, but you should focus on other dreamy parts of your trip. No matter where you’re staying, you still get to explore the world, and the money you’re saving on accommodation can be spent on fun new experiences.

]]>You might have to pack your own towels when planning to stay at a hostel. They usually don’t come for free and rental can sometimes cost you more than just buying a towel.
It’s usually a good idea to pack your own padlock when staying at a hostel dorm. You’ll need it to keep your stuff safe, and they don’t always come free.
Just because the hostel where you’re staying has breakfast, it doesn’t mean you can eat it free of charge. Unless it’s already included in your booking, make sure to ask the hostel staff if you’ll be expected to pay.
Does your hostel organize some fun activities for guests, such as pub crawls? That’s pretty great news, but they’re usually organized in collaboration with local tour companies and aren’t always free.
Do you want to have some privacy while staying at a hostel? Pay for a private room. Beds in dorms are the only ones that come really cheap, while a private room usually won’t cost you any less than an Airbnb.

]]>Not all hostels are created equal, and it’s extremely important that your first is as good as it gets. Look for a hostel that has a good rating and carefully inspect the photos and overview, to make sure it offers everything you need, from privacy curtains and comfy beds to clean bathrooms and a shared kitchen.
If you’re extremely anxious about your hostel stay, reading reviews can help you ease the anxiety. You might encounter a few bad apples, but you’ll more likely run into countless positive comments that will encourage you to make a booking.
Embrace the “try everything once” mentality when planning your first hostel visit. Stay at a hostel for a single day to see how it feels. It will probably be amazing, but if you don’t like it, you won’t have to do it ever again.

]]>Most hostels don’t provide free toiletries, and you won’t always know what’s waiting for you if they do. That’s why it’s always a good idea to pack your own toiletries when staying at a hostel and avoid leaving them in the bathroom so other guests wouldn’t take them.
Towels are another perk that most hotels don’t provide free of charge. Always look for a hostel that does, so you won’t waste space in your suitcase or pay extra to rent a towel. If you can’t find somewhere that provides one, bring your own. Just like toiletries, towels are best not left behind in the bathroom, especially if you’re bringing your own.
Hostel showers are usually cleaned on daily basis, but when bathrooms are shared it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be cleaned and sanitized after every use. That’s why it’s highly recommended to pack flip-flops or some other type of shower shoes. In addition to feeling less icky, this is a good idea safety-wise so you wouldn’t slip in the shower.

]]>Make no mistake, the main reason that hostels are the best choice for any solo traveler is the fact that you’ll be meeting all kinds of fun people. Hostels are where the party is at, and you’ll meet all kinds of friends for life. If you stay at a hotel, you might be living the luxury life, but it’s not exactly easy to meet friends.
The cool thing about a hostel is that everyone is there for more or less the same reason. Everyone is trying to have a fun traveling experience, and everyone’s feeling as spontaneous as you are. This is where you’ll meet friends from all walks of life, and perhaps connect to types of folks you’d never have expected!
