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.
