Why new hostels are perfect for families
09.08.2024

The way we stay in the cities we visit is changing. Supply is adapting to demand, and the way we seek to spend our nights away from home is different. We have a wide variety of options ranging from luxury hotels to youth hostels, but the really interesting thing is happening in all the options in between.

From themed hotels to hostels, they have evolved in every aspect to give the best of them and provide a comfortable place to spend the night.

But your priorities and needs change once you travel as a family. When it comes to spending the night away from home with your partner and your children, your demands skyrocket and you want the best.

This is where the hostel comes in and becomes the perfect option for families looking for something new, different, fun but still homey. Here we tell you why the hostel is the perfect place for you and your family to spend the night.

 

Why new hostels are perfect for families

What is a hostel?

To begin with, we need to be clear about what a hostel is when we talk about one. The most widespread definition of a hostel is that it is a business that provides accommodation to its visitors in shared rooms, in the vast majority of cases, the bathroom is shared as well.

As we will see, the evolution from the traditional hostel to the modern hostel has made this concept fall short, as the options offered nowadays go far beyond, covering the needs of the vast majority of potential guests.

 

Difference between Hotel and Hostel

Never before has an -s been so important. The main difference between a hotel and a hostel is the size of the rooms and the range of some of the facilities on offer.

Rooms in a hotel are never shared and it is common to see facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, meeting rooms and other spaces. In a hostel, rooms may be shared and it is not common to find the kind of facilities we have mentioned in hotels in hostels.

 

Facilities

The facilities of the hostels are among the most complete of all the accommodation on offer. The reason for this is the wide variety of room types. Let's take the example of the Latroupe hostel, which has one of the widest offers on the market.

In other words, the rooms can be shared by students, backpackers travelling alone discovering the world or a couple who want to experience new adventures. In addition, there are rooms for women only or innovative formats such as the family room, where the smallest detail has been thought of for the little ones, such as the beds.

There is also the option to book a whole room, four, six, eight, or more, for a group of friends or a whole family. There is even the possibility of booking private rooms for couples, with or without children.

Faced with this variety of guests, the facilities must be prepared for everyone. This is where the common areas come in.

The common areas of hostels; dining rooms, games rooms, bars, kitchens and a long etcetera, are usually meeting places where everyone gets together and gets to know each other, creating a unique atmosphere.

 

Atmosphere

And here we have one of the great advantages of the new hostels, their atmosphere. As we have said, the range of accommodation on offer creates a real melting pot of origins, with respect as a common element.

Everyone knows that the new facilities attract all kinds of groups and families, so even if your intention is to party, that will take place in a place intended for that purpose and not in the room.

What you do get is that people from all over the world and with so many different lives coincide at a point and time that, in other circumstances, would be impossible to happen.

 

Location

Hostels are always located in the centre of the city in which they are located. The reason is that, before their revolution in facilities and services, one of their strong points was precisely this, the location.

If you keep the location, but improve the rest of the features, you will find the perfect accommodation to get to know a city if you want to do it on foot or using the minimum transport.

This way, by choosing a hostel, you will be guaranteed the best location, as there are hardly any hostels that are located on the outskirts.

 

Price

The price offered by a hostel is cheaper than other accommodation, such as a hotel. The reason for this is precisely the type of rooms they have. Shared rooms mean that the average price of all options can go down.

Their smaller dimensions also make it possible for the number of rooms to go up, bringing the price down. What doesn't affect the price is its fantastic location, so it's all advantages in the new hostel that we can enjoy all over the world.

The best hostel for families on the market

Amongst the hostels on the market there is one that stands out from the rest; Latroupe Hostels Boutique. Their hostels offer great accommodation options at fantastic prices.

In addition, their facilities are modern, well-kept and around them the best atmosphere of each city in which they are located is created. Their bars are known for their good vibes and the desire to have a good time of the people, as well as having a full menu.

If you are looking to feel at home with your whole family, despite being away from home, Latroupe is the answer.
