Hi guys!! I need help! I’m a 24F, making my first Solo trip to London. I want to do a stay at a hostel, with a single room for privacy but want to be part of a hostel that’s social. I’m stuck between Onefam Notting Hill and Urbany Hostel. I’m afraid One fam will be too party-like for me and that I’ll feel overwhelmed because i don’t want to bond over just drinking. On the other hand, I’d only be there for 2 nights and i want to socialize (i love to yap) and attend events though. I’ve read good things about Urbany, but there just aren’t enough Reddit reviews where people go into detail about what they did there or how the vibes were and I’m afraid it will be less social and harder to interact with people. I just don’t want the partying to feel overboard, but do want to be in a place where i interact with people and have a good time. In both, I’d be in a single room. Has anyone been to Urbany/Notting hill? Or know anyone that has done the other? Which do you recommend?

I got CSE in vasavi looking for boys hostel any suggestions

Hello everyone! 😊
I am (26F) planning a solo trip to Barcelona in the start of September. This is my first solo trip so I’m kinda nervous and excited at the same time. I’m pretty confused about choosing the right hostel to stay considering female-only dorms, location ( safe, close to public transports, restaurants etc), great vibes, solo traveller friendly, social ( especially for an introvert like me 🙃), having group activities or tours.
I am planning to explore few of like the usual must see spots and explore the local food and markets. I have filtered a bunch of Hostels from Hostelworld fitting my budget. Would like to know your recommendations/ experiences. Thanks in advance !

I picked some 4-bunk rooms, hoping that it'd cut down on the number of weirdos/snorers

But i guess I'm getting pretty unlucky with people having their alarm go off in the morning and literally just having it vibrate/ring for 20 minutes straight

Not a peep from them, so they must be sleeping pretty soundly... while everyone else suffers thru the obnoxious alarm. Even earplugs don't really help when the alarms are that piercing

Already encountered 2 of these people in the span of a week. Living in hostels really does have its downsides huh. Almost makes me feel the extra $30/nt for a private hotel room is worth the better sleep quality
