Staying in a hostel

When I was in the junior high school I stayed at boarding school , and when I became undergraduate student I have been living at hostel. I think it depends on where you will stay , I mean not every hostel offer you the propriate facility . I have ever stayed at a poor hostel where you could take a bath with the water full filled of muds and moss. The landlord couldn't care about it. So, I suggest you to search a hostel which has a good facility including the cleaning service. How much is your budget for staying in a hostel per month?

I have never stayed in any hostel,but my son has.Last year he had been to a distant city for further studies and there he had stayed in a hostel with his friends who had accompanied him.I came to know from him that staying at a hostel is extremely uncomfortable.They charge less than what hotels do,but they offer rubbish food and very small rooms to live in.As he told me,it is very uncomfortable to stay in a hostel.

I stayed in youth hostels and backpacker hostels in my younger days. I know the price for a bed in a dorm is low. Sometimes a dorm is for 4, 6, 8 or 12 people in bunk beds. The smaller dorms are usually quiet compared to a larger dorm. Some hostels have in addition have double or twin rooms available too. The youth hostel or backpackers hostel usually has a kitchen for guests to use. Self catering is a cheap way to travel. I met other travelers at the hostels I stayed at and made new friends. In South Africa a backpackers bus stopped off at the hostels. It was better than going on a local coach that drops the passengers at the fuel station. I hope that you will really enjoy staying at a youth hostel or a backpackers hostels. In my day of youth hosteling I traveled with my own sheet sleeping bag.

I have stayed in hostels in Latvia and Lithuania and in my own country (Denmark) Hostels are much cheaper than hotels, and they don't offer the same facilities as hotels. In some hostels you can get a private room and a private bathroom, but in many hostels you have to share the bathroom with the other guests. If there are many guests and only one bathroom you often have to wait in line and it might be difficult to take to shower in the morning. I experienced that when I stayed in a hostel in Lithuania. In Latvia I stayed in a very small hostel. There was a nice common room where we met the other travellers and there was a kitchen when you could make your own breakfast. Some hostels have private room and dorms and some hostels only have dorms. There are dorms for women, dorms for men and mixed dorms. My husband and I stayed in a private room.

No problem for staying in hostel but be careful because some students are not good. You should pay attention only on study not on girl friend.
