A Knowledge Of Youthotel

Weapon 1: find a special one.

Many times, I pick hotels by name.

In Paris, France, I found a Youthotel named "three ducks", because the name of the Playboy gave me an irresistible curiosity.

I like the little flying pig hotel in Amsterdam very much. The piggy with a propeller on his head is really * * cute.

The name of 4You in Munich made me feel special for me, and was close to the railway station.

The second factor is the location of hotels.

Because living in the city center or away from the downtown area directly determines your viewing time.

Generally speaking, the hotel near the railway station or near the famous scenic spot is the best. Of course, like the peak season in summer, you have to book a half month in advance.

The Youthotel in Europe is basically small. I lived in Germany, Holland, France, Austria and Italy all the way, and almost never touched a similar Hostel.

For example, their lobby is generally messy and warm, and there are random tourist magazines and postcards in the corner. The message boards are full of notes written by various occupants in the past, and a small bar next to them.

Don't expect to come down from the train station, walk into a hotel casually, sign your name, then you can check in.

First of all, how many young people in the world walk on backpacks, the one you want to go may already be full! Second, it is not your hometown. It is not easy to find a large Sesame Street in a map of the foreign language alphabet. There is no map, no telephone, no address, so you probably have no place to stay overnight!

Weapon two: do well in psychological preparation for "lost" and "full"

Searching for hotels from the Internet is the simplest and most direct way. In Google, enter the name of the city you want to add and add "Hostel". You will find several pages of results when you return.

However, some Youthotel do not accept online booking and do not accept telephone booking. You must have international credit card and capital account. That depends on your luck.

I remember from Florence to Rome at 9 in the evening, when I had three phone calls at the Youthotel, one was the little bee I planned to live in, and two were reserved.

I thought it was very safe. Somehow, there were three hotels in the Romans on that day.

All of them are full! I can't manage at the telephone booth. Fortunately, there is another phone and address in the computer. When I call, they still have a few vacancies.

The first thing I do when I go to a place is to try to get a map and start buying, and then I find many stations have free service points.

However, even if the map is uninsured, I find it difficult to find three ducks in Paris.

First, I was confused in the subway. Fortunately, I met a Chinese compatriot. He even sent 5 subway tickets to me.

When I got out of the subway, I knew that the hotel was nearby, but I still did not know how to walk. I asked a few Parisians that they did not speak English, including a tourist service center! I spent half an hour in finding the exact direction of the three ducks on the dense map.

For many people, Youthotel is more for "experience" than "save money".

You can't predict how amazing a meeting will be under the sign of Hostel: you may be entering a hotel by yourself, but on the second day you will be on the road with your roommate, and after two days, the two people will go their separate ways. You may have a glass of beer at the bar of the hotel, know a girl from Czech, visit Czech next year to meet her as a guide, or you can see how Asian, Europeans and Americans are talking, eating and entertaining in this relatively open private space, and they can also enjoy a lot of fun.

Weapon three: to "collective dormitory", but also quiet.

Youthotel is a short term "collective dormitory", with 4 to 6 people living together and 12 rooms.

The night owl came back at 1 and 2 in the middle of the night. EarlyBird also got up at 6 a.m., which is also my headache.

I remember this strange fellow in front of me at 4youmunich hotel in Munich.

For three days in a row, he slept in a hotel during the day, but he went out in the evening.

I remember one time in Vienna, there lived a Libya man in the room, about 40 years old.

One night in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of the floor in the gloom, and I opened my eyes. It was the Libya people who prayed and prayed in their mouths, and then knelt on the floor in the direction of Mecca.

Living in the "dormitory", I would like to have a few days of quiet, make up a little sleep, and sort out the travel diary.

At this time, I will spend a little more money for a few days in a single room Youthotel.

I still remember the "staircase" where I lived on the edge of the Venice canal, which was very small, but I lived very steadfast.

Every morning, I watched the ships outside the window come and go on the canal, so that they could not walk for three days in a row.

The wallpaper of the stairwell is very interesting, full of all kinds of messages.

When I left, I took the pen and added the only piece of Chinese message to the wallpaper -- "beautiful, Venice!"

When I saw Hostel for the first time, I mistakenly thought that the author had misspelled Hotel. After all, this word was very strange two years ago.

Now, the European tour has been bustling for two months, and the African tour is also open soon. The topic of Youthotel is still a reality.

Sometimes, age is a big problem.

As the most energetic and energetic young people, they are the backbone of long distance travel and the "big fish" in the international tourism market.

According to the survey, the number of people joining the international Youthotel is 4 million each year, and the number of residents is 330 million. The national Youthotel is one of the largest hotel chain organizations in the world today.

I personally want to experience the "Youthotel" of different architectural styles in different countries of the world. The cave hotel in Iceland is cool in winter and cool in summer. In Holland, the Farmhouse Hotel is built near the water. The Swedish also pformed the old ship into a "ship" hotel. Is this more attractive than the same star hotel?

In addition to Youthotel, I know that there are internationally specialized Travel Company serving young people. In the world, Contiki, the largest tourist organization serving the 18 to 35 year olds, set strict limits on the age of the members. The people beyond this limit "reject". Not only the league members, but their drivers, accompanying managers, guides and cooks are young people, so you don't have to worry about "I want to climb the Alps, but others want to say tired to go back to the hotel to rest".
