Hostels are the cheapest accommodation option on the market and they don’t really come with a long list of amenities. You’ll usually need to pack everything from towels to toiletries when staying at one, but you should always read reviews before making your booking because some hostels offer tiny perks for free.
Free Towels
Towels will take up a lot of space in your suitcase so it’s always a good idea to try and lighten the load by finding a hostel that offers them free of charge.
Free Toiletries
Free toiletries are even more difficult to find at hostels than free towels, but finding a hostel that offers them will save you a lot of room in your suitcase.
Free Lockers
Most hostels offer lockers but without actual locks, so look for one that has both so you can safely store your valuables during your stay.
Free Storage
Speaking of safely storing your things during your hostel stay, you should also check if the hostel you’re thinking of booking offers free storage where you can leave your things before your check-in time if you’re going to be in the city early.
Free Breakfast
Hostels with free breakfast are always worth paying a few extra bucks. Food choices won’t be as fancy as they would be at a hotel but they will keep you full as you embark on a long sightseeing adventure.
