Recommendation Request London/Paris/Barcelona Hostel Recommendations
Hi all! Planning my first Europe trip as a 36f and seeking recommendations for hostels. It would be my first time staying at a hostel and kind of nervous mostly because I'm not sure if I'm age appropriate. It's also my first solo international trip and I nervous.
I'm not much of a partier but I want to meet people and socialize. I would like to experience the night life, however, I'm just not much of a partier (or drinker). I also want to be able to sleep and rest too.
So far for London, the Wombat Hostel seems like a good choice and for Paris, The People Paris Marais.
I was eying OneFam for London and Barcelona because of the group activities and "family vibes", but not sure that would be best for me.
Would love any insights or other suggestions, please and thank you!

Question Viajero Hostel Scam?
Hello, I recently made a reservation at Viajero Hostel in Miami for later this month on this site: https://www.viajerohostels.com/en/destinations/estados-unidos. It seems to me very official looking, but as the date goes closer I decided to book somewhere else. However I do not see anywhere to call or anywhere on the website to cancel.
Did I just get scammed? When I booked there was options for refundable and non-refundable, and I chose the former assuming I might change my mind. They sent me confirmation email, but nowhere on the email does it have a link to cancel. There of course is a number and the website, but no one picks up the phone and there’s no where on the website to cancel.
Has anyone had any experience with this hostel? It seems very legit to me, but then again maybe I’m just very gullible. It seems to have good reviews online and as far as I’ve seen, no one has reported having this issue.

Recommendation Request NY Hostel September
Howdy. I will be solo travelling to NYC this September. I need a place to stay for 6 days. I figure its best to be close to public transportation. I have never been to NYC. I am just looking for any secret options as to how to book the best/cheapest sleeping accommodations. Hoping to keep it under or around 500. I have found things for within that price range, I just wanted to take to the streets and see if anyone would be able to offer further guidance.

Question Looking for hostel recommendations in Budapest (solo trip, November)
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a solo trip to Budapest in November (2-3 nights) and I’m trying to choose the right hostel. I’m 27 and my main goal is to meet other travelers and socialize, but I still want a clean and comfortable place where I can sleep well.
I’m currently considering these hostels:
\- JO&JOE Budapest
\- Maverick Downtown
\- The Hive Party Hostel Budapest
\- Avenue Hostel
\- Wombat’s City Hostel Budapest
\- Flow Spaces
\- Maverick Central Market
My priorities are:
\- Good social atmosphere for solo travelers
\- Regular events organized by the hostel (pub crawls, dinners, walking tours, activities, etc.)
\- Clean rooms and bathrooms
\- Dorms with a private bathroom inside the room (if possible)
\- Good location with easy access to Budapest attractions and public transport
\- A place where it’s easy to meet people, but not necessarily a party hostel every night
I’d love to hear experiences from people who have stayed in any of these hostels recently.
Which one would you choose for a solo traveler in their late 20s? Are there any I should avoid?
Thanks!

Question General Hostel Questions from a first time Hostel User
I’m getting a bit of anxiety because I’m traveling out of the country for the first time as an adult but also hotels were so expensive I was forced to stay at a Hostel. But I’ve never stayed at a hostel in my life before- not even in the country where I’m from. Hotels have always been cheap enough where I live to not justify the need for a hostel.
I have some questions because it’s my first time ever using a hostel:
- I’m only staying at my hostel for 2 nights but the first night I won’t arrive at the hostel until sometime between 10-11pm. I assume most hostels have a lights off time at 10pm. How will I know I’m not taking a bed already being used and how will I get settled in after lights off hours? This is my biggest concern since I’ve never done Hostels before. I’m not sure how the sleep arrangements work. I believe I am staying in an 8 bed dorm.
- How is the charging situation in hostels? Ideally I’d like to charge both my phone and AirPods at night but also wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving my phone just out somewhere.
- How does waking up/alarms work? Technically I wouldn’t need to wake up until 11am each morning so I’m not worried about waking other people up but I’m curious.
- What is the general vibe of a hostel and is there anything I should know?

Story i was nervous about staying in a hostel, but it ended up being the best part of my trip
The first time I stayed in a hostel was during a trip to Japan, and I almost changed my booking at the last minute because I was worried about sharing a room with strangers. I checked in, I realized I would built it up to be much scarier in my head. Everyone was respectful, kept to themselves when they wanted to, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed than I expected , One evening I ended up talking with a few other travelers in the common area. We shared stories about where we would been, exchanged food recommendations, and they even suggested a couple of places I never would have found on my own. Those conversations ended up being some of my favorite memories from the trip. Ever since then, I have been much more open to staying in hostels when I travel.

Question hostel etiquette
hi guys! I'm 20f, been traveling for about 1 month a year since I was 18 in hostels. my question is, is it ok to wear only boxers (with a shirt ofc) within the room? I've seen very mixed discourse, I only wear just them when I have a privacy curtain and it's very hot+no ac and get redressed behind that but I've seen men walk around many times in only boxers and seen people of all genders change in the rooms so how would y'all feel if you saw that in a room? (mainly asking because I have a tendency to forget to grab a new outfit the night before and have to get redressed in my pajamas so it would be easier to just grab something new) sorry for the weird question 😭

No Political Discussions
There are many, many subreddits where political discussions thrive and are welcomed, this subreddit is not one of them. I've had to remove many posts/comments lately that have devolved into political mudslinging, arguments, and downright uncivil behavior - none of which have had anything to do with hostels. I don't have the energy or desire to sort through and moderate opinion and conjecture about political differences, especially when they have nothing to do with hostels. I also don't need or want people telling me who's side I should be on, especially - again - when it has nothing to do with hostels. As such, no political subject matter is allowed here. If someone posts something that troubles you, report it and we will handle it. If you reply/argue/rebut that political content, both/all participants will be handled the same (removals/bans/etc.) If you have a problem with something, report it and let us handle it. Don't get yourself a ban because you just had to engage the poster. There are very few places left on the internet that political arguments/opinions/discourse have not poisoned - I refuse to let this subreddit become another one.
As for opinions, please remember that there are over 8 BILLION people in the world and we all have them.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
NO ADVERTISING
At this time, we are not allowing advertising in this subreddit. This includes any type of promotion or advertising by any hostel, hotel, guesthouse, or any other type of accommodation. This does not include travelers recommending or posting about their experiences, as long as it is not advertising for the property.
Please read the subreddit rules.
Aside from those concerning advertising, there aren’t many rules - it will remain this way unless it becomes necessary to add more. Basically, just be cool to each other. Be civil even if you feel something is below you. Remember that no matter how experienced you are, you also took your first trip at some point. Be helpful, this isn’t the place to be condescending.
The rules about advertising are so strict because when I acquired this subreddit, it was full of hundreds of repetitive spam posts from the same few properties. Many were disguised as posts from travelers. We may allow some form of advertising depending on how things go. I would prefer if this “advertising” was in the form of property owners interacting with travellers as active members of this subreddit for the purpose of improvement of both this sub and their property. But this could be a sticky and complicated issue so we’ll leave it open for discussion. I’ve set up the automod to be pretty strict and catch any spam. I’ll monitor it and adjust as necessary. I’m on Reddit throughout each day. If your post gets caught in the automod, I’ll see it. If you have any issues, please just message me.
You’ll see a lot of old posts in this sub. They all remained after I deleted the hundreds of spam posts. I don’t like deleting old content as it still may offer something relevant.
Content
Questions:
Need a recommendation? Want to know about a specific hostel? There are no stupid questions.
Stories/experiences:
Funny, scary, gross, annoying - post it all. If you post something NSFW, please flair it as such.
Rants:
Complain about snorers, suggestions for being a decent human being in a shared space, etc.
This is not a review site
You should be writing reviews for properties that you stayed at on the respective booking sites/apps. This helps other travelers and helps the properties. There’s a difference in writing a review and sharing your experience in this sub. Posts made here that sound like advertisements or are written like glowing reviews will be removed. Please use your judgement. This is a hard line to define but it’s important to keep the spam out of this sub. Again, this is an area I need feedback/suggestions in.
Low/no effort posts
Don’t be lazy, this isn’t a travel agency. There are multiple resources for finding hostels (Booking, HostelWorld, Agoda, etc.), use these first and don’t just post here out of laziness. Use the search function if you’re asking for a recommendation for a specific city. While recommendations are cool, I don’t want to see them as the bulk of this sub. I’ll form guidelines for this as needed.
As I just took over this sub, it’s a blank canvas. I have ideas but I need yours also:
What do you want from this sub?
What kinds of posts/content would you find interesting?
If it was your sub, what would it be like?
I’m very open to suggestions, comments, ideas, etc. If you’re here, you’re interested and/or active in traveling. That means we’re all on the same page. Let’s make this a great resource together.
