I stayed in a few hostels in Hawaii before. I think the ratings on Hostelworld are usually accurate. Always bring ear plugs if you expect to get any sleep.

I only booked a female dorm before but the girls who would stay in the mixed gender rooms were 100% hooking up with the male guests.

Are you bringing your own sheets? And some shower shoes?

Looks very nice.

OK cool yeah some of them just look really nice but did you have a private room or did you share a room?

This hostel was so popular last summer when I traveled through Central America

I ain’t @MikelArteta

I can’t just lay my head anywhere. I need the space to be pristine clean

I've never stayed at a hostel

Worst I've ever did is an airbnb private room and I learned my lesson when the guy kept calling me asking when I'll be back

I stayed in a hostel when I was in Sacramento. I used to see little bugs on my window sill. At the time, I didn't realize they were bed bugs. I was in a room with a lot of bunk beds. Someone's feet stunk. I met people from different countries.

It can be worth it. I’ve stayed in one in Brazil for a few nights when I missed my flights.

Bed bugs can be a thing. Other than that, people who stay in hostels are open and friendly. Smashed a few women. Learned salsa. Had great memories.

I think you will love it.

No, you’re right. I need to be comfortable. And it has to be clean.

I’m about to cancel it

Edit:

Shower shoes are a must. Stayed at a hostel in Chicago some years back…forgot to pack some slides for the shower…

The room, kickback area, staff, other guests were all cool.

But the shared bathroom for an entire floor, specifically after everybody’s back from bar hopping, partying, drinking….

Never stayed in a hostel but I do tend to book hotels that are away from the tourist traps but still in the city. I find those hotels are better for mingling with the locals and getting a authentic experience out of the trip.

2024 hostels almost as expensive as hotel. Not worth it

Yep, in 2012. I went to Europe for the 1st time solo for a little over 2 weeks. Stayed at Flying Pig Inn, in London , Amsterdam and Paris. At the time there was a deal where you'd get 30% off at some bar and grille that was in the same building at the hostels...met and and partied with a lot of Australians. Went hard in the paint with the drugs in Amsterdam with them. Stayed in co-ed rooms, and ended up hooking up with one of the roommates from London (she was Japanese).
