I stayed at a hostel in Istanbul that seemed to be staffed by long term residents. There was the guy who owned it, and then most of the "staff" were just various internationals (Polish girl, Egyptian guy, a Syrian, etc) who were staying there for a few months. Very cool place. Not sure how common this setup is.
- reledi 13y agoI've stayed at some hostels in Toronto and most of the staff were travellers. Still the experience is not exactly like a boardinghouse because most guests are there short-term.
- personlurking 13y agoHaving just stayed in a hostel not more than 2 days ago, it really felt like a community in the common areas. I really like the idea of long term residents in a hostel, but only if that hostel only takes on that kind of traveller. This effectively makes it a boarding house, of course. Boardinghouses remind me of Danish cohousing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhEHS4plCx0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhEHS4plCx0)
