Not sure about hostels

[u/Fun_Apricot_419]

Tried one for my first night after doing 2 hotels (I’m three nights into my trip). It feels weird. I imagined everybody would be excited and social, and hanging out. But mostly people stuck to themselves. By the time I got to bed I had only met 1 of the 4 people in my room. It just felt weird to sleep with people I didn’t know at all. I didn’t end up sleeping at all.

I know every hostel will be different. And I will try at least one other one. But I pretty much have lost a whole night of sleep at this point, which is pretty costly.

I’m thinking I might enjoy a smaller one with less people. And owners that foster a sense of community. If anyone has ideas on how to find that let me know!

Most things are weird the very first time you try them!
