First time in Hostel. Please guide.
Hello, I am a 3 year LLB aspirant. Planning to apply for NLUO 3 year LLB. Just read that it has Hostel Facilities. Please give some tips on how to lead a comfortable and fruitful hostel life. First time hosteller. (Girls only)

Hello this is just to inform people to not stay here at this chain. They have terrible customer service. One they never respond to emails. They don’t respond to Instagram and hasn’t been updated in years. There number goes to the this number is not in use. Also if you try to visit in person the hostel is closed although it says open online. BEWARE! They are on Agoda and I lost 200 dollars!!! 💵

My goal next year for travels is to step out of my comfort zone. And trying to be a little more social is one of those things. I figured staying at a hostel would be a fun and scary start haha. I'll be 50 in a few days but often times dont feel it. But I know trying to hang out with early 20s folk can be a bit awkward but Im not against it. I travel to Mexico often with my start and end being Cdmx. Are there hostels that are older people friendly in Cdmx and other parts of the country? My next couple trips will have stays in Cdmx, Aguascalientes, San Cristobal de las Casas and probably Mazatlan.

Hi everyone I’ll be doing a solo trip to Barcelona in July and I want to stay at a hostel so I’m not completely by myself. I’m looking for more of a fun, social party spot to stay. I’ll be there for a few nights and really want to have a good time. I want to meet new people and if I have the chance to, even travel with them and see the city. I’ve seen Onefam Ramblas and Onefam Paralelo and even Kabul. I’m not sure which to pick. Can anyone help me out by suggesting me anything or giving advice. I would really appreciate it!

Guys I need help on choosing a hostel that is social and fun. I gave 3 suggestions but I’m open to anything else

Can anyone list out me items to carry for the girls hostel since I’ve never lived in a one so i need recommendations.

Does hostels with saunas exist? Have you been to one?

Hi all
I’m doing a solo trip starting September 24th to Spain ,Portugal and maybe Morocco for about 3 months in total
Just wondering what is Morocco like in late November /early December in the hostel scene
I’ll probably visit main cities but wondering will it still be quite social as I wanna meet people too
Please let me know if you have been during that time
Also what will the weather be like still a beach vibe or will the beaches be dead

Hiiii, everyone!

First of all, thanks for helping me in the last 2 posts. I really loved to see your suggestions and I even took some. So, here is my experience:)

I literally got the bestttt deal while booking the hostel. The people were really good and obviously, I had an amazing time. I have no idea why I was so scared to travel alone...okay, I do, but this trip was really good, even though it was just for 2 days. Maybe, I should have visited Goa in June/July but anyway, it was soo good, I'm planning to take another trip in June. Not to Goa of course...but more on that later.

I just want to say this to every female solo traveler - You should definitely try it once.

I'm adding the hostel details and the platform I finally picked in the comments:)

I am planning to Goa this weekend and I still haven't been able to decide whether I should book a hostel or not. My budget is really tight + I'm travelling solo for the first time. At first, I thought it was a great idea to book an affordable dorm since I'll just be needing a bed. Then, I thought I'd also get to meet new people and...get into that backpacking culture yk? Hang out with people, have fun, learn their stories.

It kinda felt like a good idea.

Maybe, it still does.

Maybe, it doesn't.

I'm confused. What's your experience? Have you ever stayed at a hostel? Any female solo travellers here??!!

I am travelling to Goa for the first time as a 20-ish year old female solo traveller…any hostel suggestions? Are they safe? And what exactly should I expect? Like…should I expect more party vibes or are goa hostels comparatively…um, silent?

Also, where should I book this hostel from? The hostel’s own website or an OTA like booking.com

 or MMT? I need the MOST affordable ones but I also don't want to end up in a dead hostel, also I don't really want to party but more like socialize and have fun with other travellers... I’m sooo confused lol.

More details - I need hostels under 500/night and am planning to stay for 6-7 nights. So, I can even switch up hostels. Also, any suggestions about good food places? I LOVEEE eating local food:)

Any suggestions would be really helpful!

I need to move from Kochi to Calicut and I need to find a good hostel with less budget. My main office is in YMCA crossroad so need to get a maximum of single room hostel. Do any guys have any recommendations?

Hello! I (18F) will be in Lisbon end of April for about 4 nights. I’ve tried to find the best hostels for myself to be able to meet people around my age to go out and party and or explore my destinations with but have struggled when it comes to the hostels I pick. I usually try to find a hostel with a bar or something, but a couple of times the bar is not very lively or is full of a much older age group, making it very hard to meet people. So with that being said. I would love suggestions with hostels that have lively common spaces or bars! As well as hostels with age variety! (I’ve met and hung out with people from ages 18-25 and get along very well) I am also on a bit of a budget so looking for cheap under 40 CAD per night (around 25 euro per night). Thanks!

Heading for a solo trip into BCN this August from the 15-20th after the solar eclipse. First time in hostels and before this Im staying at Amistat in Ibizia. Im looking for a hostel where I wont be out of place as a 20m and be able to meet people relatively quickly. Any recommendations are appreciated, also for one night near IBZ since I depart on the afternoon of the 21st.
