first time in a hostel
Hello ! Im travelling from Valencia to Madrid soon, and i’ve been looking into hostels. I’m currently staying with friends and family but none of them have ever stayed in hostels in Madrid so they can’t really guide me towards the best decision. It would be my first time staying in a hostel, for around 7 to 10 days, and i don’t really know where to start looking. I would like to stay in a quiet hostel with the basic necessities, and i don’t necessarily want to party, more just exploring and doing cultural stuff. I’ve never ever stayed in a hostel, so i don’t know the culture around them, and the safety measures or accommodations. Are there lockers in every hostel ? Should i bring my own lock or will it be provided ? What are the fundamental rules that need to be followed as to not disturb other people ? How do i stay safe ? I hope some seasoned travelers will have answers to my many questions ! Thanks for reading, i’m looking forward to learning everything i can !
