When traveling, a significant part of the cost is related to living expenses. However, spending on housing can be significantly reduced if you choose a hostel for booking - a hotel that looks like a hostel.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide if you are traveling alone or with fellow travelers. This is very important, since in some hostels it is possible to book more than one place, but only the whole room - they are called apartment. At the same time, rooms in which you can pay for only one bed and live next to strangers are called dorms. Pay attention to these details in the description of the rooms in the hostel, if you do not want to overpay by accidentally booking several places.
Step 2
Visit one of the specialized hostel search sites. Specify in the search parameters the country and city where you are going, as well as the dates of your stay there. The system will give you several available options, among which you can choose the most interesting for yourself.
Step 3
Consider the location of the hostel. If you are traveling to an unfamiliar city, it is advisable to first see on the map how close your hostel is to various attractions. You can save money by booking accommodation in a remote area, but your travel costs will increase significantly.
Step 4
When booking a hostel on the website, pay attention to the description of the accommodation. It will indicate whether the hotel has Internet access, and if there is, whether you need to pay extra for it. Pay attention to the presence of a kitchen - this is a significant plus for a budget hotel. There you can prepare meals to save on meals outside the hostel. See if breakfast is included in the price.
Step 5
Please note that each hostel has its own opening hours. Some of them close early enough and will not be able to check you in if you arrive at night. Others, on the contrary, are closed during the day, and those living in them are obliged to leave the rooms in which cleaning will be carried out for this time. Check out the hotel's opening hours before choosing a hotel.
Step 6
Find a photo of the hostel and its surroundings on Google Maps. This will help you understand if this is a really nice place to stay there for a while, or if it is better to choose another option.
