If you’re trying to save some money and meet a bunch of new people on your solo trip, staying at a hostel will help you achieve that – as long as you choose the right one. Here are three types of hostels where you can make many amazing memories and friends, for cheap.

Hostels with Common Areas

Hostels without a common area are pretty rare, but it’s still important to make sure that your hostel has one. Carefully check the description and reviews on the booking website to make sure there’s a common room where you can chill and mingle with other guests.

Party Hostels

Party hostels can be pretty loud and crowded, and it’s not easy to get a good night’s sleep when staying at one – but they have their advantages. If you want to stay up partying all night and meet up with a bunch of new people along the way, this is just the kind of hostel that you need.

Hostels with Fun Activities

It’s always a good idea to stay at a hostel that offers a bunch of fun activities to its guests. From pub crawls and walking tours, to board games and movie nights, these types of hostels are always encouraging you to do something fun and meet new people along the way.
