Many people associate hostelling with college students backpacking through Europe. However, hostelling has evolved and now draws in a diverse crowd, including individuals of various ages and backgrounds. If you're a budget-conscious traveler, hostelling can offer a unique and enriching experience.
Hostels may not suit everyone. Some travelers prefer the comfort of traditional hotels, but hostels are ideal for solo travelers or young groups. It's worth noting that hostels may not be the best choice for families with young children, and many have age restrictions.
Hostels often resemble dormitories, with bunk beds accommodating four to ten guests per room. Upon arrival, you'll be assigned a specific bed.
In the United States, hostels typically separate accommodations by gender, often designating entire floors. Conversely, European and international hostels may allow mixed-gender rooms, so it's important to check each hostel’s policy if this concerns you. As a woman traveling alone, I've had positive experiences in hostels across Europe, including Rome, London, and Amsterdam, where mixed-gender rooms were common.
Bathroom arrangements vary; some hostels offer private shared facilities in rooms, while others have communal bathrooms by the hallway. If privacy is important, inquire about the facilities beforehand.
Reservations are increasingly crucial, especially during summer in popular cities. It’s not uncommon for hostels to be fully booked months in advance. This is a change from the past when travelers could often find a bed upon arrival.
The cost is a significant attraction of hostels. Rates generally range from $20 to $30 per night, making them a budget-friendly alternative to hotel rooms, which can cost $100 to $150 or more.
Another advantage is the knowledgeable hostel staff. Unlike some hotel employees who may live outside the city limits, hostel staff often live locally and can offer insider tips on must-see attractions and hidden gems.
Hostels frequently have access to discounts and coupons for local attractions and dining spots, adding further value for budget travelers.
While hostels might not appeal to everyone, they offer basic yet comfortable accommodations for those looking to save money. Ultimately, traveling is about exploring and experiencing new places, and hostelling allows you to do just that without breaking the bank.
