Hostels

A relaxed atmosphere and a whole bunch of friendly faces will usually be the first things to greet you if you stay in a hostel on your next trip away. Most hostels are equipped with communal spaces where you can chat to and get to know other travellers, many have games rooms and outdoor areas for eating in a group or having a bbq, and some even have self-service laundry rooms for travellers on extended holidays or backpacking trips.

If you're a solo traveller, hostels are perfect if you're keen to stay among like-minded individuals who share your wanderlust. Sharing a dormitory can be a great way to save money on accommodation and make new friends or travelling buddies. Since the chances are there will be travellers from all over the world staying at your hostel, you'll also probably be lucky enough to receive a ton of local tips for travelling in plenty of other destinations - perfect for those who've been hit with the travel bug. Alternatively, if you do need a bit of space and to be alone during your travels, you can request your own bedroom but make use of a shared bathroom in order to make the travel budget go a little further. So for anyone looking for budget-driven but sociable accommodation, a hostel is the perfect choice for your holiday digs.

The atmosphere in hostels is usually very relaxed, with fellow travellers hanging out in the hostel's common areas and sometimes its very own bar. These types of lodgings tend to be full of character and have their own charming design features, so you're unlikely to stay in a hostel that looks like any other you've stayed in. If you're the type of holidaymaker who lives for experiencing something new when you travel, then you're in luck, since ebookers has such a wide range of hostels available that no 2 trips you take will ever be the same. Whatever your travel needs, you're sure to have a one-of-a-kind stay in an ebookers hostel.

If the idea of getting up for breakfast and sharing a dining space with fellow travellers from all over the world, all keen to embark on new adventure and see the world, then a hostel is the perfect type of accommodation for you. Spend time getting to know your dorm mates as you relax in the hostel gardens or have fun in the arcade rooms, or book a day excursion or local cookery class together through the hostel's friendly, local staff.
