Travelling Tips
When
travelling one of the first things that comes to our minds is the place that we
going to staying in the foreign land. Most of the tourist’s destinations offer
the travellers with different kinds of accommodation options, ranging from
luxury hotels to smaller hostels’ rooms. Those who do not have a fixed budget
can choose the bigger and posh hotel rooms or apartments however; those with
limited budget opt for hostels. Before you confirm the booking it is important
to know the difference in the accommodation at a hostel, hotel and apartment.

Hostel
accomodation
If
you are a solo traveller then you should opt for hostels as they provide you with
reasonably good value for money. In a hostel you can get breakfast at minimal
prices or it would be included in the accommodation price. Owing to the social ambiance
of the hostel, it also offers a chance to meet other like minded international
travellers. A number of hostels organize events like fancy dress parties and
free walking tours. Most hostels usually have some kitchen facilities where you
can cook and in this way you can save money on eating out.
Apart
from this, the staff is friendly and can give free advice on the places and
things to do, which will enable you to explore your holiday destination. Some
hostels even offer the guests with kitchen
facilities so that they can cook their preferred meal and have a comfortable
stay without stretching their budget.
However, what you should not forget is the facilities offered
in hostels are nowhere close to the ones you can find in a hotel.

Hotel accommodation
Now
let’s look at how different is a hotel accommodation. They are quite clean and
offer numerous facilities, which include 24 hours room service, attached
bathroom, T.V, round the clock security and so on. However, they have a very formal feel as in
you won’t get a chance to meet other travellers. Although, the staff of the
hotels is friendly but they won’t go out of their way to help you explore your chosen
destination. Also, when staying in a hotel you don’t get kitchen facilities so
you will have to depend on the hotel restaurants for your meals. Most of the
hotels are equipped with an in-house bar but again the prices of drinks served
are quite high.

Apartment accommodation
Another
important accommodation option is apartment. A growing number of people are
renting out their apartments sometimes the full apartment and sometimes a
couple of spare rooms to travellers. Such apartment accommodation gives you the
feel of being at home even when you are in foreign land. This adds to the
comfort and makes a lot of positive difference in your travel happenings. You
can easily cook for favorite food with the kitchen facility offered in the
apartment. This enables you to stay for a longer period of time in your
destination on your given budget. Generally, there is also an option of sharing
an apartment with other travellers but this might intrude your privacy.
