Hostels are the best accommodation option for people who want to keep their travels budget-friendly, but they come with a couple of downsides. Lack of privacy in a hostel dorm can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, and here are three types of hostels to avoid if you’re frequently dealing with this problem.

Dorm Type

The majority of hostel dorms offer beds with privacy curtains, but that’s not always the case. If you struggle to fall asleep when there’s too much light in the room or when other guests are being too noisy, privacy curtains could make things a little bit easier.

Party Hostels

Party hostels are a great option for young travelers looking for some fun, but you won’t get proper rest while staying at one. If a hostel has a busy bar or nightclub on the premises, you should look for a different place to stay because the noise could get unbearable.

Heavy Traffic

Hostels located on the street with heavy traffic can also be a nightmare. If you can’t assess if that’s the case with the hostel you’re considering booking, take a bed that’s not located too close to the windows to avoid the noise.
