We
stayed at a hostel in the center of town where one of our friends knew the owner so we got a deal.
But hey, I've also been judged
at hostels for not having a backpack, for requesting the bottom bunk, and for not going out to party.
On the other hand, if you're into making real money while
working at hostels, I wouldn't recommend doing it without a proper work permit.
The 10 rooms
available at the hostel are simple and clean, all of them are air conditioned and provided with standard amenities including television, refrigerator and coffee / tea maker.
I went with someone I
met at the hostel and we wanted to try everything on the menu; I think we came pretty close.
Four to five nights a week we have comedy, improve, and variety shows in the theatre
room at our hostel.
You'll want to stock up on supplies before
arriving at the hostel, since there are no stores or restaurants within the park.
Saving big, making new friends, and still enjoying your privacy — what's not to love about staying
at a hostel as a grown - up?
Are you planning to travel in a group and you would like to stay
at a hostel with your group?
Most people I know take up jobs working in the service industry, or
volunteering at hostels or hotels, etc., in exchange for food and board.
My cell phone did still got
service at the hostel and I was able to keep in touch with my family using my unlimited international texting plan.
With few budget accommodation options in town we stayed in a 6 bed dorm
at the hostel which is perfectly nice and had a large shared kitchen with an interesting character.
The
staff at this hostel were amazing, and all of them were always friendly, cheerful and welcoming.
Daily housekeeping is
provided at all hostels; there are no chores at large urban hostels, and chores are voluntary at other hostels.
You can either stand on the side of the road with your thumb up, or you can ask
around at your hostel, at restaurants or at tourist sights.
Sit down to a hot meal or a cool
drink at the hostel's restaurant, or grab a to - go cup at the on - site coffee shop.
When I set off it allowed me the freedom to stay on
longer at a hostel that I liked or leave one early that I did nt.
We meet and spend the rest of the
day at the hostel making music and partying together.
If guests choose to stay
at the hostel after this time, a reasonable noise level is strictly enforced.
Usually the people behind the front
desk at hostels, or the teachers of language schools have a good idea of what organizations are out there.
We wanted to maintain our budget so instead of eating out, we prepared our own
meal at the hostel.
The hostel provides the comforts of a
hotel at hostel prices, there is really no better way to rest and relax at the end of a day of touring the city.
We have regular soap rather than shower gel, and it goes without saying that any free mini
shampoos at hostels will be going in our bag.
My main pack in a luggage
locker at the hostel I set out to poke around town and quickly tracked down the small out door market I'd discovered on a previous trip.
This man, seemingly in his 70s literally seemed to speak every language that any traveler staying
at the hostel spoke.
When choosing a Wi - Fi
network at the hostel, you will notice that there are four different ones, labelled from numbers 1 through 4.
I have written this review because I thoroughly enjoyed my
experience at this hostel and would like to recommend it to others.
With a tour desk to sort your day trip needs, there's no wondering what to
do at this hostel.
Local bus schedules are not available online; ask at bus stations or
at your hostel for the most up - to - date schedules and prices.
While I have personally never had a job
working at hostels, I think that it is wise to have enough money to get home.
