Where do you put your stuff when staying in a hostel?

Use the Lockers Ninety percent of the hostels we've stayed in have provided lockers -- use them! You should look to buy a padlock before you leave to travel to use with these lockers, but even if you don't have one you can usually rent padlocks from reception for a small fee.
