Hostel secret tourist travel inexpensive budget. They have been there in one form or another for a long time, and is geared to young travelers and anyone looking for cheap accommodation. U.S. version, the help to be more complicated, with the guests used them with their homework. They are now much easier. You rent a bed not a room, shared bathroom, living room and kitchen. Lack of privacy, but cheaper accommodations, and you can socialize.
My first time in Quito, Ecuador I stayed at the Centro del Mundo, a hostel called near the center of the area they “Gringolandia.” $ 4 per night including breakfast. I shared a room and a bathroom with 4 others, and a TV room with guests from 14 countries and channels in three languages. It was clean and comfortable, with locking rod next to each bed for valuables.
For 80 cents I had a rum and coke was taken when I play chess with a flower-buyer from Holland. Managers can not is a $ 15-Cotapaxi tour of snow-capped volcanoes, for Spanish lessons $ 2-per-hour. Friday evening from the manager bought rum, and no party was on the terrace.
Is a hostel for you?
Not all hostels are as much fun as I live in Quito, and not all guests want such a place. By the way, I loved the hostel, but not most tourists. I like mingling with travelers from around the world. “Mixing” could mean, of course, is sleeping next to a snorer.
In a hotel you are more than isolated in a hostel, but a separate room has its advantages. I’m sure the idea is to use the room too much for some people, like waiting for the toilet. A hostel is definitely a different experience to stay at the hotel.
Even if they are the same price, I prefer hostels to hotels, but one of the biggest reasons why people stay in hostels is to save money. But they are a good choice if you are traveling alone. Since my wife and I traveled together now, we do not stay in hostels often. You pay for two beds, after all, does make the hotels more competitive.
Some hostels have private rooms. If you’re not sure you are sharing a room, but we like the idea of a social environment in which to ask. Sometimes you can even have their own room with bathroom.
Hostels are not as common in the USA and other countries, when the “bed-and-breakfast” places are. It’s a bit like a hostel at high prices, but with private rooms. Fortunately, there are some common hostels in almost every country, and they still have a good alternative if you are an alternative (and cheaper) way to do.
