You should try it. You are missing out on a lot of travel. Thanks, Paul @ TravMonkey.com Hi Kyle,

There a many positive things about staying in a hostel, such as the social element you won't find in hotels.

You should try it. You are missing out on a lot of travel.

I stay at hotels. If I can't afford a hotel, I don't go on the trip. I can't imagine having a good time in the environment that you describe. This is why I don't stay at hostels. I stay at hotels.

Like with anything, it may hard at first but gets easier with time. It doesn't hurt that traveling wears you out so falling asleep gets that much easier. Some people have told me they have a hard time sleeping because they get homesick. The mp3 helps with that as well. Closing your eyes and listening to your favorite songs can make you feel much more comfortable. To parrot Alex, this is definitely a good guide for those not knowing what to expect.

Especially for those who don't know what to expect.Another one that doesn't get much ear time is bed location and booking ahead.Know you're going to have to get up early and really need a good night's sleep? Don't book the 32 bed dorm room. I've found that I can usually find lower bed rooms for nearly the same price by booking two days ahead.Also bed location is huge. Don't pick the bed near the door or the bathroom if there is one. Even if beds are assigned, you can always request a different number. Same applies if there are a wall of lockers in the room. Good tips. Especially for those who don’t know what to expect.

I remember a few people using face masks to sleep, personally I can't use them but I'm sure they'll be of a help to many. They also don't take up much room in the backpack!Thanks,Paul @ TravMonkey.com Hi Ross,

I'm travelling around Australia right now, sleeping in 4-8 share dorms and I've found earplugs and the mp3 player essential. Somehow I managed to get through 2 months without earplugs but I think I was just tired enough and or lucky enough to get through a night without hear a bear in the room.Being tolerant is a harder one to manage but it works very well. Think about other things and you'll fall asleep eventually.Sleeping masks work quite well too. I haven't tried one on this trip but I can see where they would come in handy. Some people come crashing in in the middle of the night and turn on the lights and have a half hour conversation. Either that or you'll have some naked germans running around in your room....
