Spread the Word About Hostels

25. March 2012 hostel blogger

Tell a friend and spread the word. This is a common saying that can make a huge impact to a wide range of things, from a surprise party, special event, sale bargain, cool place to visit or cheap hostel accommodation.

Word of mouth and having positive feedback from customers can make or break a business, a lot of the time when customer have a good experience, they don’t take the time to spread the word and let other know they enjoyed their stay in a certain Hostel or that there are bargains to be had.

But when something goes wrong, you won’t hear the last about the whole story from a to z, every opportunity is used to tell people what happened.

Its time we all begin to use as much energy, to spread the word about good things, just as much as bad experiences or service, after all we all like to be praised and told we have done a good job.

When it comes to Hostels & budget accommodation many people have a lot of preconceptions and bias ideas of what to expect, coupled with a few bad reviews online for a few Hostels, a lot of people just steer clear of staying at Hostels.

This means that many travellers and holiday makers are paying more for their holiday accommodation than need be and hostels gain a bad reputation because of a few hostels that fall below standard.

Just like any other type of accommodation from Hotels, bed and breakfast, guesthouse or Hostels accommodation, each location needs to be assessed on its own merits, this means researching online, remembering to take into account that just like Hotels different hostels accommodation have different standards.

A hostel in Kowloon will not be the same as hostels in London and youth hostels in Rome but they will all have good and bad points that need to be considered when deciding if they are the right accommodation to stay in.
The same criteria can be used to asses any type of accommodation, some of the main points to think about are

Assessing potential accommodation suitability
Price
Room Type
Location
Transportation Links
Facilities
Services

Take your time to look around and choose an accommodation to suit your budget and taste, but don’t rule out any accommodation type, until you take the time to assess the accommodation for yourself and form your own opinion.

Budget Accommodation Great Place To Stay

19. March 2012 hostel blogger

Budget Accommodation Great Alternative to Expensive Hotels

When it comes to holiday accommodation the first place most people think of is Hotel accommodation, it’s what people are used to, they offer security and peace of mind that you know what you are getting.

When it comes to budget accommodation options, like, bed & breakfast, guesthouse, youth hostels accommodation and even 1 or 2 star budget hotels many people ideal of what they will be getting is not actually the truth, but their perception of what the accommodation will be like, clouds their ability to evaluate, if a budget accommodation would be suitable for them or not.

Because a persons Perception is Reality

This perception of budget accommodation is sometimes hard to over come but certainly not impossible.

The first thing is to do a bit of research, check online for budget accommodation in the chosen city you want to visit, you will be surprised at the variety on offer for individual travellers or group bookings, you can see quite a lot of information about each of the accommodation, especially if you use an online budget accommodation booking website like Hostels247.com

New Holiday Experience

18. February 2012 hostel blogger

Challenge yourself to experience something new while on Holiday, this of course begins by purposely picking a holiday destination and city that you have never visited before, then moving onto a place to stay, from cheap hotels accommodation, Studio apartments, guesthouse or even bed and breakfast or youth hostels try a new accommodation.

It can be hard to break from the norm and look to different place to stay on holiday so here are two suggestions for different holiday destinations.

Macau – An Island destination in Asia only a short ferry trip from Hong Kong, packed with everything to do from bungee jumping to ancient monuments and temples to cathedrals amazing restaurants bars and shops. For affordable hotels in Macau there are a few to choose from like Ole London Hotel and Victoria Hotel Macau.

Barranquilla in Colombia – a coastal city in Colombia offering beach holiday combined with city break. Barranquilla offers a wide range of activities to keep visitors entertained including museums, art galleries, a zoo, the Barranquilla Carnival in February and of course the cheap hotels in Barranquilla offering affordable place to stay like Rivera Del Mar Hotel.

When you arrive at your chosen destination and check into your hotel accommodation or place to stay take some time to familiarize yourself with the surrounding area by your accommodation, there are usually a lot of hidden little cafes and cool places just around the corner from most hotels. It is also well worth talking to the reception staff as they will be able to tell you some of the best places to visit.

If these interesting cities are not your cup of tea, or more than your budget, or too far, there are a lot of places and hidden gems when it comes to holiday, chilling out and place to visit. Some of these places can be within a train ride or few hours from home. So no excuses, be adventurous and go and enjoy yourself
