This section of the website is designed for those who are not used to staying at hostels, while traveling abroad.
Hostelling
This is when people who are traveling abroad, who wish to stay in a place which offers a very affordable type of accommodation. Though is not for everyone, the overall outcome will be a rewarding experience for you, as you have the chance to meet people from all over the world and they can give you advice on which places are the best to go and see, and which ones are not. The hostel is a great resource for getting information about where you will be going next. Each person has different views and opinions involving just about everything. So take a couple of moments and listen, or share it just may make a difference. Most importantly of all, enjoy your stay at the hostel it will normally give back as much or even more then you give it..
Hostel Conditions
There is not one hostel that is exactly the same as the next, as you will see on the hosteltimes.com website, these will vary greatly from place to place, from a tall sky rise building in a metropolitan city, a log cabin in the wood, a room in a family's home. They are all different just like people, good, bad, beautiful, ugly; alright you know what we mean. Just keep an open mind when picking a place to stay.
A little information
You will not be required to have a membership to stay at any of the hostels featured on our website. While some do have that option, you could buy a card upon arrival at those hostels. Each time you were to check in at their hostels, they give you a stamp. The majority of the hostels won't ask you to be a member of any hostel organization. Also, please remember to bring some form of identification (or passport) with you upon arrival at the hostel. So they receptionist can enter all of the needed information and get you checked in faster.
Age Restriction
This is not a very serious issue, although some hostels do impose an age restrictions. The hostels on our website, do not have any specific rules and regulations that say whether or not older and/or younger people are discouraged from checking in to their hostels. Still, if you want to be sure, then, check with each individual hostel micro site that you wish to stay. The hostel is a chance to share knowledge and information, for all travelers. However, if you have any questions about any of this information, then please visit our question and answer section of our website, by clicking here.
