Clean? Reasonable rules that are reasonably enforced? Do they lock the doors at night? When? Security stopping non-paying visitors and drunk, paying visitors coming in at 3am (who will get up at 3:30am and vomit or pee on you in their drunken stupor/half sleep)?// Research before you go, e.g., references like this. Check out the hostels\' web sites. Read between the lines and look close at the pictures. Call the hostel and casually ask open-ended questions of a (non management) employee. As soon as you arrive in the city/town/area, start asking \"hostel type\" travelers about good/bad hostel experiences. Listen to them. Prices don\'t vary so much in a given area. Features vary a lot.// As for location, hostels are often clustered near attractions. Visit a few on your way. Look at/smell/gestalt the sleeping dorm. Ask yourself, \"Do I want to sleep here tonight? Check out the bathrooms and kitchen. Smell the wash rag hanging on the sink faucet. \"Do I want to cook/eat/shower here?\" Remember, a quiet place near good transportation might be better than trying to sleep, eat, recover in the heart of the party. ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 01:41:08 PST http://www.trifter.com/Practical-Travel/Budget-Travel/Backpackers-Dream-10-Outstanding-Hostels-Around-the-World.116027#comment162319
