What
is a hostel anyway?
Traditionally, hostels are affordable accommodations
for people travelling internationally on a tight budget.
Accommodation is usually in dorm rooms, which may have
a bath in the room or down the hall. While hostels are
a cheap alternative to hotels that’s not the only
reason travellers, especially young travellers, have
been using them for years. Hostelling is a great way
to meet other travellers and learn about the places
you’re visiting from people who have already been
there. |
Why
do you have such strict check-in requirements?
We run our hostels in order to serve international,
budget-conscious travellers. We require an international
passport or out-of-state college ID to ensure that we
are, in fact, serving this group. CHECK-IN TIME 17H00
to 21H00
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate in-state residents,
relocators, conference goers or those just looking for
an inexpensive place to stay because we know they have
many other accommodation options. That said, if we were
about following all of the rules all of the time, we
wouldn’t be working at a hostel. If you feel like
you actually fit into our target group even though you
don’t have the required check-in documents, please
contact us and we’ll see if we can make an exception. |
Do
I need a membership to stay at your hostel?
No membership is required to stay at our hostel. You
save money and we are the cheapest in town anyway |
Do
you allow children staying with parents at the hostel?
We do not allow anyone under the age of 16, whether
or not accompanied by an adult, to stay in dorm rooms.
If you are travelling with a child under the age of
16, have extensive hostelling experience and are specifically
interested in staying in a hostel, please contact the
manager about the possibility of staying in a private
room. However, please be aware that the hostels are
probably an inappropriate environment for very young
children. |
