How to pick a good hostel ?

Updated: Aug 9, 2019

1. Never think cheaper is always better

Many travelers love to go with the cheapest thing around. Super cheap hostels are mostly unhygienic, the beds are not comfortable and the bathrooms are dirty. Pay few more bucks and opt for a clean and better hostel to make your journey memorable

2. Include breakfast

Inquire what hostel offer as a breakfast. Most of them offer bread, egg and coffee. Look for a place where they offer a decent breakfast.

3. Lockers

It’s surprising that many hostels still don't have lockers. Never book a hostel where they charge for security. If you’re not sure about the locker situation, scan through the hostel’s reviews to see what people say. Always better to be safe than sorry!

No locker = no stay.

4. Free Internet

A hostel with free Wi-Fi is always BETTER. You’d be surprised that there are many hostels in the world that still charge for Internet.

5. Location

Location always have huge effect on your experience. If you have to spend most of the time on public transportation, you’ll end up wasting a lot of your travel time. The best hostels are at the city center or close to the tourist spots.
