A hostel is a self-catering facility suitable for budget travelers, backpackers, and friendly people seeking modest lodging.   We aim to provide safe, comfortable, and convenient lodging experience for you.   But we are so much more.   One of the central tenets of hostelling is the sense of community.   Whether this takes the form of staying in a dormitory with a self-catering kitchen and communal TV room, sharing rides with other travelers, purchasing a bus pass or something else, what matters is the shared experience.   This allows travelers to learn from one another while saving money at the same time:  the first-hand account of a fellow traveler can often be more informative and up to date than what was published in a travel book.   Of equal importance in hostelling is the sense of authenticity.   Hostelling is not just a vacation but rather a means of education.   We seek guests who want to experience the “real” destination rather than the packaged version often associated with mass tourism.   We seek to foster a sense of healthy adventure and independence.  At our hostel you will likely encounter people of differing nationalities, cultures, and social background to meet informally, share experience, learn about themselves, each other and their surroundings.  Hostelling is a common and popular lodging option in Europe, Australia, and some parts of Asia, Africa, and South America.   Check out www.hiusa.org.
