Hostels aren’t for everyone. Nowadays though, they are offering many services including such things as pools. Believe me, I loved the pool when staying in Darwin in 40 degree Celsius heat.

I was pretty impressed with the idea that some Hostels have pools and actually provide breakfast!

As I work and travel on the road and need a quiet area to work, I usually now prefer my own room in a hotel as I want good wifi. On saying that, I have stayed in a single room in a hostel recently and didn’t mind it – apart from the partying I could hear! But it is an option and people on tight budgets who don’t mind sharing love hostels.

Yes, particularly those that are in ‘hot areas’. Most in the Northern Territory of Australia have them!

Now that I’m well into my 30s, I’m not sure if I ever will. These tips are really helpful for travelers looking for these types of accommodations. Great share! Xx Sara
