Can you sleep during the day in a hostel?

no problem when you do that during the day, of course, but you might have to check in/out when others are sleeping. Even if at home you are, don't be messy… you might bother other people and you also might inspire some thefts. Avoid eating smelly food in the dorm. It smells!

Hostels are often shared accommodations, which means that women may be sharing a room with strangers or sleeping in a mixed-gender dorm. This can make some women feel vulnerable and unsafe, but with proper precautions and awareness, women can have a safe and enjoyable experience staying in hostels.

Lack of Privacy – Since you'll be sharing a room with anywhere between 2 and 20 people, a hostel may not be the best choice of accommodations if you are the type who likes privacy.

There's usually no form to sign or anything. Make sure you double, triple check you have all your belongings. Leaving things at a hostel isn't fun. You may be asked to strip your bed sheets and pillowcase off and throw it all in a designated area.

Curfew. A lot of hostels impose a curfew for safety and to make sure travelers aren't interrupting others' sleep by coming and going at all hours. If you're planning to stay out late and want access to your room at any time of the night, a hostel probably isn't for you.

There's usually a bar, events going on, activities, people hanging out, a pool table – there are lots of ways to connect with other travelers in a hostel. The common areas are meant for people to interact. Even if I'm not looking for a rager, it's still nice to head down, grab a beer, and chat with people for a bit.

Truth: Hostels are generally open to people of all ages, and I've never been turned away for being beyond my 20s. Do I feel “old” when I stay at hostels? Sometimes, yes. But I've rarely been the only person over 40 staying at one, and I frequently meet travelers in their 50s and 60s who are staying in hostels.

Some hostels offer “long-term” room options if this is of interest to you. These long-term options are usually tucked out of the way and have multiple long-term guests in them, so you'll get to know your roommates better. On the other hand, other hostels have a max stay time of a couple weeks or 30 days.

To start, I understand that snoring is or can be part of a medical condition. And because of this, it's largely tolerated by others in the dorm. But this problem can be mitigated, assuring a better sleep for everyone. The Offender: If you know you are a snorer — and you do — consider getting a private room.

MORE DETAILS

Ask for a room change: If the snoring is really disruptive and none of the other options work, you can try asking the hostel staff if you can move to a different room or a quieter area of the hostel. They may even take pity and throw you a private.

If you are wondering if you are too old to stay in a hostel, you are not. There's this funny thing I've noticed about aging: the older I get, the less I care what people think. If you had asked me if I would still stay in hostel dorm rooms in my thirties when I was 24, I probably would have told you I would not.

If you're wondering if you're too old to stay in a hostel, you're not. Nobody is ever going to kick you out of a hostel because you're over 35, showing signs of ageing, or because you make a small “oof” sound when you slide your tired bones into bed. I've never been asked to confirm my age when checking into a hostel.

Expect to Share Your Bathroom En suite means that the bathroom is attached to or inside your hostel room; generally (but not always), you'll get an en suite bathroom if you spring for a private hostel room. Sometimes you'll still have to share with the rest of the hostel even if you did decide to go private.

As a hostel guest, unless you book an ensuite private room, you'll be sharing a bathroom. Some hostel bathrooms are directly connected to a dorm room, while others are only accessible through a hallway. Regardless of the setup in your particular hostel, shared bathroom etiquette remains the same.
