Don't forget to bring a sleeping mask and earplugs. There's bound to be someone who snores in the dorm and it also helps with a lot of the jerky behavior you mentioned.

@alicjagrohs2297 5 жыл бұрын

As a solo female hostel stayer: Don't forget to check if the hostel offers female-only dorms - may make you feel less stressed about your safety. But also: don't bring your food to the room. Some hostels have only AC in rooms and windows don't open or if they do the ventilation is often very bad. No one wants to sleep in a room that smells like a mix of sweat, dirty socks and greasy food. Oh, and don't forget to check if the room has triple bunk beds if you don't like sleeping at the top bunk. Some hostels where ceilings are high have those so they can cram more people into one room.

Also, here is also some advice from my side: You can write an E-Mail in advance to the hostel, on when you come and when you are going to be there. This can help them organize the beds and you can even get your bed a few hours before official check-in times. Also they can give you some information about how to get to the hostel and which bus lines/public transportation you should take to get there. Don't shy away, asking them.

flies in his beard!!! lol, There was a bearded homeless man that snuck in my hostel and found empty bed across from me in Finland a few years ago. It was so weird trying to sleep, so I left at 3 am to go sleep at airport. He needed a warm place because it was cold and snow outside. There was no security at that time of night, so he got away with it. I told a few days later when I came back there. It is good to have 24/7 workers to catch things like this. I have plenty of stories, too. I love airbnb for a reason now. I rarely do hostels anymore.

When I was a backpacker with my wife for a few years, we used hostels as information hubs. If we landed in new cities and wanted to stay a month, a hostel would be great for finding out what is a hot area and a fair rent. And how to come across advertisements (this was at the beginning of the internet so information was scarce). It was also a great way to meet people, exchange books from the library and find out about the various tourist-y things. But once we got what we needed, we tended to avoid them, mainly because they could get a little grubby.

After being assigned a top bunk in Paris and getting bruises up and down my shins, I did everything I could to avoid top bunks again. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes not, but usually they’ll try to work with you. Or look for a place that doesn’t have bunk beds.

Although I had traveled around Europe in 2019, 2021 and 2022, I barely learned about hostels, its uniqueness and subtle popularities. I was even recommended to some, but I never found interest in staying in one because I'm an extreme introvert and shy. I ended up staying in one in Mission Beach, California and while I didn't experience the same atmosphere like you did (and speaking for the hostels in Europe), I did like meeting the people and simple accommodations. Plus, my time in the military made me already accustomed to sleeping alongside other people 😂

@24wallachian 5 жыл бұрын

One more tip (my major, major pet peeve): If you know about yourself that you snore, have the decency and get a single room instead of forcing seven other people to lie awake the entire night because they can't fall asleep due to your snoring and because they are too polite/scared to wake you up. But if you have the bad luck of having me as your roommate, be sure that I have no qualms waking up a snoring person since snoring is the one thing I absolutely can't stand.

Loved the part about not being a jerk in hostels! I’ve seen some pretty interesting behaviors, haha. Joking aside, I’m not sure why people knock hostels. True, they’re not the best choice for families with small children, and they’re not exactly a day spa, but truth be told, that’s not the point of a hostel. Hostels place traveling and great experiences within financial reach for a wider array of people. I would never travel if I had to get a hotel room each time. Come to think of it, I’m not sure why people hear “travel” and automatically think “hotel.” Hotels are *incredibly* expensive for what you actually get. There are so many other options that save you TONS of money that you can use for other experiences on your trip. Going to the beach? Instead of getting hotel rooms, gang up with other travelers and split the cost of a beach house. Going to a city center? Get an Airbnb, and you can get an entire apartment for cheaper than you can get a tiny hotel room.

Private rooms do kind of blur that line. Luxury is relative of course; the dorm beds are usually good for a dorm but not what you’d get at a hotel or B&B. Likewise, even in a private room you can’t expect concierge service and maids coming in cleaning up after you. Still, the places are clean and professionally run, and the common areas are usually quite inviting and picturesque.

So true about hostels being great places to meet people from everywhere. We stayed at a Stockholm howtel and I still have the cassette one of the keepers gave me, a mid tape he called Svenska Tjejer, women Swedish singers of the era (1989). He told me tjejer is a gypsy term for woman popular in Sweden. And how cool that is you're doing a video with a former student!

''tjej'' is pretty much what in American would be a ''chick'' or just ''girl'', very common word, did not know it was gypsy in origin.

Generally, hostel rooms have a bunch of bunk beds in a room and multiple travelers can stay in them. Multiple people buy the beds in the room. For hotels, you buy the whole room and you (plus family/friend) stay in it. Because there are more people in hostel rooms they are typically cheaper.

@@LauraMaliszewska Mark started to say, "We're getting late" (and then recognized he was about to say a grammatically flawed sentence), so then he stopped in the middle of the word and changed to "We're getting long on time." That is why you heard, "We're getting lay long on time." I don't know if anyone gets tired of Mark's videos, but maybe he has his own self-imposed time limit on how long his films are, to prevent rambling and redundancy, so he was signaling to Tristan that they needed to bring the filming session to a close.

I was in a hostel in New Zealand, 4 women in the dorm, and one woke up at 6am and started up her laptop and was banging the hell out of the keyboard. Not cool. To be considerate is the best thing you can do.

I recall one of the last times I stayed at a large Hostel. It was HI Vancouver's Jerico Beach location. I was in my late thirties and found myself on an upper bunk in August. After a show of world class fireworks, dancing and a few drinks I arrived there around 1am and the 18 bunk room was still a hothouse (the upper windows didn't open) and there was a snoring princess in the lower bunk. I say this because after spending some time trying to get into sleep mode I'm awakened by princess kicking the bunk from below numerous times. I had started to snore due to being so uncomfortable. After about the third bout of kicking and it being Vancouver's Pride weekend I simply told the guy "Your no silent beauty yourself Princess.'

I stayed with a stewardess in New York, I made a reservation through booking. There were four Turkish-German worker girls or worker girls studying in Germany in my room. I'm trying to sleep with my curtains closed, but it's impossible, they are always shouting, laughing and talking. I complained to Booking several times. I opened the curtain and looked to see who was in the room, I had a phone in my hand. I thought I'd take their voices and complain down below, but then I gave up. This time they opened my curtain and started to compromise me. They lied to me, saying you did, even though I didn't take a picture. Apparently they are the daughters or workers of Turkish workers working in Germany. When I said I complained about you, they started shouting at me, asking why you complained about us.
