]]> Hostels aren’t exactly synonymous with comfort, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to make the best of your stay. Many budget travelers turn to this type of accommodation to save money, and our useful tips will help you put a comfy and cozy twist on your next stay.

Pick Carefully

Not all hostels are created equal and they don’t provide the same kind of comfort. Reading the reviews before making your booking is the best way to remove bad apples. Pay extra close attention to what previous guests said about comfort, and go for a hostel with comfy beds that offer privacy curtains.

Book a Private Room

If staying at a shared dorm simply isn’t your thing, booking a private room is always an option. You’ll get your own comfy bed and quieter atmosphere, so it’s worth putting in some extra money during a long trip, even if it’s only for a day or two.

Pack Smart

A couple of small accessories go a long way and can make your hostel stay extra cozy, even when you’re traveling light. Earplugs and an eye mask can make a huge difference at a busy hostel because they’ll make it easier to deal with noisy guests.

]]> If you’re a young and broke traveler exploring the world on a budget, staying at a hostel might feel like a great way to save some money. Unfortunately, hostels come with a long list of hidden expenses that you’re probably not aware of, but we’re here to help you avoid them.

Towels/Linens

Towels—and even bed linens—at some budget-friendly hostels don’t come free. Read the reviews or contact the hostel to check if they’re included in the price, and consider bringing your own if that’s not the case.

Padlocks

You’ll find free security lockers at pretty much every hostel dorm, but padlocks aren’t always provided, so it’s a good idea to bring your own.

Breakfast

Free breakfast isn’t an amenity that most budget-friendly hostels provide. Luckily, there’s no need to pay for it as long as there’s a shared kitchen on the premises where you can prepare your own food.

Fun Activities

From walking tours to pub crawls, hostels often have many fun activities in store. Unfortunately, you’ll usually have to pay to take part, but doing your own planning is always an option—and it won’t cost you a dime!

Laundry Service

Some hostels offer a washer and dryer on the premises, but it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to use them free of charge. If they’re too expensive, consider washing your clothes by hand or looking for a cheaper laundromat nearby.

]]> Hostel dorms are an extremely popular option with frequent travelers who have a limited budget, but everyone else usually avoids them at all costs. If you still haven’t given them a shot, here’s why they’re worth it.

Making New Friends

Staying at a dorm room is the best way to meet new people, especially if you’re a solo traveler. In addition to learning amazing things about their countries and cultures, you also may meet someone with similar interests who’s in the mood to explore the city together.

Affordable Option

Affordability is one of the main reasons why people end up renting dorm rooms in the first place. They are the cheapest option out there, and even if you’re making your reservations at the very last minute, it’s still possible to find a room.

Mixing It Up

Lack of privacy is one of the main reasons why people avoid dorms like a plague, but no one’s forcing you to rent a room with 12 beds. If you want to save money and avoid big crowds at the same time, smaller dorm rooms are always a good idea.

That’s why it’s important to save wherever you can and you’ll be able to squeeze an additional trip or two over the year, even if it’s just for the weekend. Here are our best money saving tips for travelers.

Find Free Tickets

Many museums and tourist attractions offer free entrance at certain times, so you may be able to save some money there. Also, you can look for free things to instead of checking out the main attractions for a unique experience.

Choose Hostels

Hostels are not what they used to be. Nowadays, you can easily find cheap accommodation (depending on location) that you share with other travelers, but that is actually perfectly comfortable, clean, and safe.

Turn Off Your Phone

Accidentally turning on mobile data can cost you a lot, and even international plans are rarely a good deal. Turn off your phone (or only use it for its camera) while you’re abroad instead!
