Melting-pot intégral
One might assume that the major difference between a hotel and a youth hostel lies in the style of accommodation each offers. However, to attract new customers, hotels and Youth Hostels are expanding their offerings.
Therefore, which characteristics really distinguish a hotel from a Youth Hostel ?
In most people’s minds, hotels rent out private bedrooms while hostels only offer dorm beds. However, since the model of Youth Hostel has been revisited, this difference tends to disappear.
To reach a wider range of customers, more and more hostels offer private bedrooms within their establishments for their travellers seeking peace and intimacy at a competitive price. As for hotels, they are trying to reach more young travellers by modernising their offerings and adapting to emerging needs.
Youth Hostels are known for their economical accommodations, since they apply prices outweighing the competition. In spite of the concept of hostels being revisited in order to display much higher-quality services than a few years ago, they offer a top-end model at very affordable prices in order to retain their initial customer base. Even though hotels offer affordable bedrooms, a night in a dorm still is the most economical option.
So, hotel or hostel?
Beyond the accommodation style and prices, the main difference between hotels and Youth Hostels lies in the atmosphere of each place. Unlike hotels, hostels do not only offer a place to unpack your suitcase but a social experience immersed in local life. Indeed, hostels seek to create genuine social hubs that foster exchanges and encounters between travellers from all over the world.
Now that you know what distinguishes a hotel from a hostel, it’s up to you to choose! If you are looking for a warm and comfortable accommodation where locals and world travellers can meet and share experiences, all at a competitive price, Central Hostel is just the place for you!
