  • Hostel Sheets to the Rescue new

  • - It is a good idea to take a hostel sheet with you. They can be purchased online with tote-type covers. Why? Many hostels do not provide linens. If your destination hostel does not have laundry facilities, you may also want to pack more than one sheet ... and if you’re searching for a hostel, try 111 Hostel Directory.

  • Make Sure You Get Back to The Right Hostel new

  • - When going out at night and you need to take a taxi back to your hostel, write the address and hostel name on a slip of paper and keep in your pocket. When in a foreign country and a little drunk, your pronunciation is worse. This is the easiest way to solve that problem.

  • Private Facilities May be Limited new

  • - Most hostels have no (or few) rooms with private baths/showers and toilets. Be sure to check amenities ahead of time so that you know what to expect when you arrive at your chosen hostel. You can find hostel accommodations of all types at 111 Hostel Directory.

  • Special Packing for Hostel Travel new

  • - Packing for hostel destinations requires careful planning. You need to be aware of what is and isn’t provided by your intended hostel accommodation. Some things that will probably be useful at most hostels:
    • For foreign travels: a compact phrase booklet or an illustrated phrase booklet with pictures like The Wordless Travel Book
    • Hikers’ water bottle
    • Linens for washing up – washcloth (absolutely necessary) and handtowel(s)
    • Pillow cases – useful for more than covering pillows
    • Camping meal utensils like folding cups, 3-way tools, etc.
    • Portable alarm clock
    • Laundry supplies: powdered soap, dryer sheets (also keep your packed items smelling fresh)
    • Lip balm
    • Birth control pills, condoms, prescribed medications
    ... and whatever your destination, try a hostel search at 111 Hostel Directory.

  • When Noise like Snoring is a Problem new

  • - Noise-cancelling headphones block out low frequency sounds like SNORING, engines, and fans - a good thing to use at night in dorms or shared rooms. A little MP3 player that fits in your shirt pocket will save you some sleep at night. Of course, earplugs are much cheaper and work just as well! Need a hostel? Check this hostel directory.
