5 Hidden Hostel Expenses You Can Easily Avoid

Hostels are the most affordable type of accommodation on the market, but it turns out they’re super cheap for a reason. This type of accommodation comes with many hidden expenses you wouldn’t have to pay for elsewhere, and we’re here to help you avoid them.

Towels/Bedding

Some hostels will ask you to pay extra for towels and bedding. You can avoid this expense by carefully checking the reviews to make sure this amenity is free, but bringing your own towels is also an option.

Laundry Service

Even if the hostel where you’re staying offers laundry service, it won’t come free. Washing clothes by hand is a good idea if you don’t have a lot of dirty laundry, but you can also try finding a cheaper laundromat nearby.

Complimentary Breakfast

Some hostels will charge you extra for breakfast, and if the price feels too high, consider preparing your own food in the shared kitchen or eating outside.

Padlocks

If you’re staying in a hostel dorm, you’ll need a padlock to secure your belongings in a locker, and it’s always a good idea to bring your own.

Organized Activities

From walking tours and pub crawls to shared meals, hostels organize all sorts of fun activities for their guests. If they’re not available free of charge, you can always plan to do them on your own.
