10 Reasons why Hostels are better than Hotels
Hostels are a whole lot cheaper than hotels. Think about the money you save and the cultural fun you can spend this on.
Great Locations - Most hostels are set up in city centre locations, which rival the access to tourist attractions offered by top chain hotels.
You meet more like minded backpackers in hostels because they were set up for independent travellers just like you.
Your fellow hostellers will no doubt join you for bargain food and drinks during happy hour, giving you a chance to trade tips and make life long friends.
Hostels have deals with all the cool, new and emerging tours. This means the best price for you and new tour guides that want to make a great first impression.
The hostel theme nights on offer include karaoke, beach parties, movie montages and a whole lot more that you just don’t get in hotels.
You can stay in a dorm in a hostel which gives you a great chance to meet, greet and party with other travellers on the same global circuit.
Hostels are rammed with free backpacking travel magazines like Packed and Welcome Stranger. These are full of great travel tips and you can take them with you.
A lot of hostels now offer free Wifi but a fair few hotels charge you for half an hour of connectivity.
The guys behind reception are likely to be bilingual. This makes international check ins and orientations much easier!
