Some hostel rooms can have as many as 16 or more people, which means a greater likelihood of more noise. Instead, consider booking smaller rooms that sleep 4-6 people. From my experience, these rooms tend to be quieter, and while there's no guarantee that you'll have a soundproof night, this could help.
Hotel room rates are based on double occupancy. You usually don't have to pay extra for kids in the room. But hotels often charge $20 to $50 per additional adult per night, Banas says. To avoid this fee, you need to be aware of it before you book so that you can search for another hotel that doesn't charge it.
Many hook-ups that happen in hostels are spur-of-the-moment, passionate encounters between people that may not know each other very well. While that's all well and good, in fact that's part of the fun of it all, it is still important to practice safe sex. Use contraceptives, wear a condom, and avoid spreading disease.
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.
And remember, private rooms are always an option. I hope these tips and insight have helped you overcome any hesitation about sharing a dorm room with strangers. The amazing part about hostel culture is the fact that you can enter as strangers and leave as the best of friends.

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.
Yes, a double room indicates that the room contains one double bed- one size smaller than a queen bed. This can be shared by two adults, however it is quite tight; usually when we are travelling as a family two adults only sleep in the same bed if it is a queen or larger.
If you're short on time, here's a quick answer to your question: Yes, many hotels allow two people to stay in a single room, but some charge extra for the additional guest. It's always best to check with the hotel directly before making a booking.
Quite a lot of hostels have single-sex dorms for those of you who do not want to share a dorm room with the opposite sex. So if that's a priority for you, you should not have a problem finding a place to stay. It is worth mentioning that mixed dorms are more common, though.
Most hostels do their best to make the ratio of men to women in mixed rooms equal – yet this understandably depends on who is staying on any given night. Do remember everyone is there to rest and get sleep for the next day's travels, which means you shouldn't expect a social situation.
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.
