There really is no better way to meet new and different individuals that when you stay in hostels. Get to know the locals and those other visitors who are up for a new experience just like you!
On the other hand, if you are traveling with a large group, hostels are a good choice because your whole group can save money by sharing a room. Most hostels and some cheap hotels also offer free breakfast in the mornings – just another way to save some cash.
And of course, if you are looking to travel on a small budget, cheap accommodations are the way to go. This is an easy place to save money when you travel.
