I joke, I joke&#8230; but staying in a hostel really is the best of both worlds as we get to enjoy time alone, but we can also be sociable. We\u2019re not at a stage yet where we want to jet away on some blissful lover\u2019s retreat so by staying in hostels we keep active and involved in everything which the destination has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><b>In your experience, what do hostels have that make them better than hotels for couples?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hostels are a hub of entertainment and activities \u2013 I think we\u2019d massively miss out on squeezing the most out of a destination if we stayed in hotels. When you arrive at a hostel, you\u2019re instantly given a wealth of info and activities so it\u2019s way more personal and inclusive than staying in a hotel (which I think can sometimes feel a little sterile!).<\/p>\n<p><b>Any tips for staying in a hostel as a couple?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Book a private room and don\u2019t attempt to double up in a single bunk bed!

Nothing puts a dampener on the excitement of travelling together than discovering your pad doesn&#8217;t meet the mark.

Even if we normally stay in private rooms, it&#8217;s great to have a social space where we can meet other people. Our favourite part: getting tips from the hostel staff. We definitely feel that staying in a hostel is a more authentic experience and you&#8217;ll return home full of stories to tell, which would never happen if you stayed somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p><b>In your experience, what do hostels have that make them better than hotels for couples?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When we travel as a couple, we&#8217;re still looking for meaningful travel experiences where we can meet people from different cultures and learn new things. In the social areas of the hostel we can always meet new people and have an interesting conversation. When you stay in a hotel you limit your travel experience and don\u2019t really live everything the city has to offer. Traveling is all about opening yourself to new experiences and staying in a hostel where people have the same mind-set definitely helps you to do that!<\/p>\n<p><b>Any tips for staying in a hostel as a couple?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve stayed in private rooms and shared rooms in hostels together. It&#8217;s important not to limit the opportunities to get to know other people and explore the city in a different way while travelling as a couple. You can still have super meaningful experiences that belong only to two while still being open to new travel experiences.<\/p>\n<p><b>Which hostel was the best one you&#8217;ve stayed in as a couple?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126738 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"788\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Kilronan-Hostel\/Aran-Islands\/7613\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Kilronan Hostel<\/a> staff are really helpful and friendly, and will give you all the tips on what to do around the island.
