Facilities:
Your basic overnight fee entitles you to use of the
hostel's standard facilities.
These are:- fully equipped kitchens, common rooms,
bed in a dormitory and a hot shower, toilet, telephone,
etc. Most hostels also have private rooms (i.e. doubles)
and family rooms. These cost a little extra. Aside
from this, you will find many with extras, such as
laundry, bicycle hire, breakfast etc. You will find
this additional information in our hostel listings.

Prices
Some hostels may charge more for high season which is
July, August, the first half of September and also Bank
Holidays and Festivals. Low season refers to the rest
of the year. Where this extra charge is made it will
be stated in our listing. Private or family rooms cost
a little more than the standard dormitory. Again, this
price is listed. Prices refer to "per person, per
night". |
Bookings
It is always a good idea to phone ahead and make a booking
in the busy periods. At this stage you should give the
hostel a time of arrival. If you are not going to arrive
by 6pm, or if you have changed your plans, please
make sure to let the hostel know as soon as possible.
This will ensure, in the first case, that your bed is
kept, or in the second case, that someone else can avail
of that bed. |
Summary
In almost all our hostels you are required to register
with the Warden on arrival and pay your night's fee.
At this stage it is a good idea to have a look around
and see that everything is to your satisfaction. Check
each Independent Hostel for their House Rules. A spirit
of co-operation prevails throughout our hostel organisation. |
As an association of independent hostels
we seek to maintain high standards and the uniqueness of
each hostel.
