What is so special about hostels?
That's actually a tough question because hostels are changing now
with many of the hostels offering private rooms more like a hotel.Traditionally
the things that define a hostel are...
-
Supervised
accomodation
-
Shared
rooms (dorm style)
-
A
public area for things like reading, watching TV etc.
-
A
communal kitchen/dining room
-
Shared
bathrooms. Sometimes one per room sometimes one for a whole
floor
The things that make hostels so popular now is they usually have
a bar and common areas for people to meet in.
This social aspect is the most significant point for many people.
Staying in a hotel gives you somewhere to sleep during your holiday.
Staying in a hostel means you meet other travellers and the experience
enhances your holiday.
An added bonus is they are usually cheaper than hotels.

Q. Will this just turn
out to be another travel site?
A. No.
This site is for anyone who travels
using hostels, or any one who would like to travel and would consider
staying in hostels.
The main focus will be on the
forum, a place to make friends,
stay in touch, ask questions or help other people. Feel free to
just hang around and chat about anything. Just like any other
Hostel Bar.
Here the first priority is -
have fun.
