Hey I'm in a hostel here in los angeles the owner says it's not but yes it is. Except this hostel is very unprofessional, alot of drama, police have been here. This one no way. I'm trying to go somewhere else. I just don't like the atmosphere here. Too much drama. I know los angeles is very cool place it's just this atmosphere. One tenant just throws my stuff around he's from haiti and I told him hey what the heck man. Then he gets upset he calls. the cops cuz he felt like his life was threatened. Next. time I prefer my. own space. or. people. with my similarities. This hostel has jerks. And there's alot of loud people here. And then a body builder who thinks he's a very important person. I'm just saying this place nobody cleans.

It's not for me anymore--though I did love Appalachian Mountain Club lodges (not huts)--love my privacy and quiet. Will always remember staying at this hostel in Austria that was an old monastery. I got up to the go to the bathroom, this nasty guard starting yelling at me--only understood every third word--something about the cops. Also thought about getting seconds at breakfast--felt like Oliver Twist. I wonder if that place still exists.

DON'T even think of staying in a hostel if you're over 35, you'll regret it in SOOOO many ways. DON'T RUSTLE AROUND W/ FRIGGING PLASTIC BAGS AT 3AM! DON'T COME BACK SO DRUNK YOU END UP SLEEPING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BED! Also, if you know you need to check out early the following morning (anytime before 9AM) GET YOUR SHT TOGETHER THE NIGHT BEFORE SO YOU'RE NOT RUMMAGING THROUGH ALL YOUR CRAP AND WAKING PEOPLE UP!

I had many lovely experiences in hostels like making local and international friends. I agree with Mark you have to be open but safe. A lady got her drink spiked and luckily made her way back to the hostel, my friend and I were staying in a 6 dorm room, when she got back. I literally had to help her get into her bed. one thing I learnt from that experience is that you can never be too safe.

Heres my biggest tip: call ahead and see if you can reserve a specific bunk. After being assigned a top bunk in Paris and getting bruises up and down my shins, I did everything I could to avoid top bunks again. Sometimes its possible, sometimes not, but usually theyll try to work with you. Or look for a place that doesnt have bunk beds.

Over the years, I've stayed in a boatload of hostels, probably because of the low cost compared to hotels/motels. Re. your speech about messiness, when I stayed in them (what used to be called IYHF hostels, they always had a sign in them, translated into 15+ languages, which said, Your mother doesn't work here, so clean up after yourself.

this was a really interesting video to watch, but I still have a couple of questions, you recommend to bring like an extended outlet with multiple ports, but won't that take up to much space, and when are you supposed to charge your phone? cuz people might steal it and how do you wake up since you can't use a clock?

I came to Paris with a big ass bag because I was going to be staying in Limoges for 8 months. I brought wire cables and looped them through the suitcase handle and the zippers then padlocked them around one of the bunk bed posts that was built into the wall. The lockers they give you are usually pretty small.

I totally agree that there's a hostel out there for everyone because they're all so different! I'm a musician and I love hostels so much that I'm doing an entire tour performing only in hostels! I just posted the first video from the tour, which was in New York City! It's been such an amazing experience.

I stayed in a hostel once, it was ok. I had my bed, woke up in the morning, left the hostel and came back at night to sleep, nothing special. Didn't meet anyone. But I was in the city with a friend who was staying at another place, so the meeting people part wasn't even part of my plan.
