Staying at a dorm is cheap, but a lot of different personalities can make a huge chaos. Follow these hostel rules and everyone will have a better time. These are all common annoying points you will see at a hostel dorm. Did we miss something out ?
1. Be polite and say hello to everyone in the room.
Don´t be the one making the room awkward.
2. Leaving at night/early in the morning :
Pack your bags the night before. Find everything you got laying around. Pack your passport and wallet somewhere you can check quick. If you don’t´´ find it right away there will be some panic and clothes all over again.
3. Keep your toilet bag somewhere easy to find.
Don’t wake up the whole room so you can find your toothbrush.
