There's a lot of choice out there, so you decide!
When you go hostelling you share the hostel's communal facilities with your fellow guests. There'll be a place to cook, eat and relax. It's a great way to meet other people and share the stories of your day.
Kitchens are usually fully equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. All you need to bring is the food! Some hostels provide a continental breakfast or cooked meals (for a charge) and sometimes there's a bar or restaurant.
Lounges and dining rooms may be separate rooms or combined (sometimes referred to as a "common room"). You'll find a space for dining and an area with comfortable seating. There will often be a selection of board games and books. Some have wood burning stoves to keep you cosy in the winter months.
In most hostels other facilities include drying rooms, laundries, free WiFi, parking and bike storage.
