D A hostel is a type of low-cost inn that provides

E
basic, shared lodging. A hostel usually consists of a
large room with multiple beds, a shared bathroom,

F
and a communal kitchen. Although some hostels
offer private rooms, the majority of them provide
bunk beds. Hostels began in Europe, but their

I popularity has increased to the point where they can

now be found all over the world.

N Hostels are similar to hotels, although there are a

I few differences. It's better to make a reservation

ahead of time, just like a hotel, however many

T
hostels keep a few beds open for walk-ins each
night. Many hostels, unlike hotels, have curfews; if

I
you come after the time limit has passed, you will be
shut out for the night. This is done out of respect
for the other guests and the staff. Hostels keep

O prices low by providing only the most basic

amenities and using communal rooms rather than

N individual, private rooms.

 Social Common Room
D
E - Almost all hostels have a
common room where you can
F hang out with other travelers,
read a book or watch some
I TV. Some hostels also have

N games rooms where you can

play a round of pool, Xbox or
I foosball. These are great
spaces to spend time in if
T you’re a solo traveler or just

I the social type.

O a flat roof where you can sit.

S Communal Kitchen

narrow storage compartment.
F They are commonly found in
dedicated cabinets, very often

T and security.

O
N Dorm Room

- A large sleeping room

O containing several beds. It
basically accommodates 4-16

S Private Room
P
A
- Private rooms are also
available in hostels so you

C may have your own room

while still having access to the
E enjoyment that only a hostel

S
can provide. Private rooms are
ideal for older travelers or
couples looking for a little
more privacy.
 Bathrooms
D
E - "En suite" means that the
bathroom is attached to or
F inside your hostel room;
generally (but not always),
I you'll get an en suite bathroom

N if you spring for a private

hostel room. Sometimes you'll
I still have to share with the
rest of the hostel even if you
T did decide to go private. Keep

I in mind that in some hostels,

you may not even be on the
O same floor as the bathroom.

as certain permits you will need to have certain

cities do slightly change on their specific requirements.
