Hello, My friends and I are travelling to Europe for the first time. It's 4 of us twenty something females. We are doing a road trip throughout Europe, however I'm still unsure of hostels. For those of you that have stayed in both hotels and hostels in europe, what is the difference? if all 4 of us share the hotel room is it cheaper than the hostel? pro's cons? We are super excited, we are traveling in September 2012, all advice is appreciated!
Except in a few American-style hotels, you probably won't find a hotel room for 4 adults, as rooms are generally pretty small. Otherwise, any lodging advice you get will depend on the country and the city - it's too hard to speak generally. What cities/towns are you visiting? When? If you'd like to stay together, apartments, in some places anyway, can be very reasonable. I've rented in Germany for under 50 Euros/night for four.
This is a duplicate posting - there is an identical one in General, with another answer.
Thank you Russ @nigel... yeah that was me, this is/was the first time I ever ask a question in a forum.
