Top 5 Flight Booking Sites in India for Domestic & International flights

Hotel vs Hostel

We all know about hotels. Hotels are generally searched by ordinary tourists who look for comfort, privacy or with family. They may be expensive or cheaper, but not as cheaper as the hostels. Hostels are made for real budget travelers who like to gain new experiences and meet like minded people during their stay.

But hostels only offer a bed or dormitory and not a private room and attached bathrooms like hotels. You will have to spend the night with other travelers in the same hall where a number of beds are placed like train berths. Sometimes, privacy or security may be a concern for some people in hostels, so they need some reliable hostel networks or companies where they can stay without any anxiety. That is why I am telling you about two major hostel networks in India which you must try at least once.

What is Zostel?

You must have seen the ads of Zostel in social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook or Google ads. It is a branded hostel network across India and available across all major cities and tourist places. You can get a bed or dormitory at a price as low as Rs 399 only. Sometimes the prices may rise upto Rs 600-700, but that depends upon availability and destination. Besides India, some Zostel hostels are also available in Nepal also.

This is another feature Zostel offers. If you are a regular traveler, then you can also join their loyalty program which they have named as Zostel Passport. You can join this program for six months at Rs 399 and for one year at Rs 499. For every booking, you will get discounts from Rs 100 to 200 and so will easily recover the membership fees in three or four bookings only.
