How to Pick a Good Hostel

Good hostels are always hard to come by. Places can be very hit or miss and usually, the reason a hostel is good has more to do with the people staying there than the physical place. I’ve stayed in dumps where I had fun in because of the people there. Hosteling is, after all, about the people you meet. However, staying in a place that is clean is always good because it adds to the experience. When trying to pick a good hostel, here is my advice on what to consider: Cheaper is Not Better – Budget travelers have a natural inclination to go with the cheapest thing around. However, don’t try to save a buck just to save a buck. Many cheap hostels are unclean, the beds are uncomfortable, the showers dirty, and the pillows thinner than a supermodel. Pay an extra dollar or two for nicer and clearer digs. Your body will thank you.
