Hostels with private rooms are great for families, you can sleep together but have the option of self-catering which is not available in a hotel. Great for keeping the budget down, or if you have fussy eaters or family members with special dietary requirements. Most hostels are small enough so the kids can be safe in bed whilst parents get some social time in the common room with the opportunity to meet new people, watch a film or have a drink.
Individual travellers can also enjoy a private room. Of course they won’t be as cheap as a bunk in a dorm but the option to splash out for a special occasion or just to get a better night’s sleep is great. There’s no need to have to find a lonely hotel and pay for food as well, just book into the private room in the hostel of your choice and all the other benefits of hostel travelling remain the same.
