Smart travelers know that the best way to get to know a place is to avoid expensive hotels. You might be thinking hostels are only for the young, or only for serious backpackers. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nowadays, most hostels don't have age restrictions and most provide both dorm-style rooms or private rooms - many even have en suite bathrooms. In reality, your hostel stay will sometimes feel more like a cozy bed and breakfast or guesthouse than a dorm, even if you're sleeping in a dorm-style bedroom - you just might be the one making breakfast!
