Most hostels have dorm and private room options. I just get the private room. It's more expensive than the dorm but way less expensive than a hotel. I've never slept in a hostel that only offered dorm rooms.
I'm just as paranoid about the dorm option.
- ohashi 16y agoI have stayed in a few hostels with lots of people... met lots of fun and interesting people. Never once had any issues.
- byw 16y agoJust curious, is this true mostly in a certain region or all over the world? Also, what kind of price different should I be expecting between the dorm and the private room?
- smokinn 16y agoI'm not sure, I've mostly only stayed in hostels in Canada. The last one I stayed at in Ottawa had rooms for 25$/night in the dorm or 60$/night for a private single bed room. http://www.ottawahostel.com/ http://www.ottawahostel.com/
- ido 16y agoIn most of Europe it seems ~20 euros/night for a dorm bed is about the standard. I'm used hostels (& couch surfing) quite a lot and never really had problems, but I guess it depends on the region you are traveling in. Tallanvor's approach seems unnecessarily paranoid to me, but I don't know where he travels too.
