For some reason, Ive always had this romantic view of hostels. I think it goes hand-in-hand with my vision of backpacking through Europe. I know there are hostels in the US but it doesn't have the same feel. However, it seems there is an increase in hostels for Seattle.Two years after Hostelling International's 130-bed building near Pike Place Market closed and became apartments, Seattle is seeing a boom in affordable lodging for budget-minded travelers.
The cost: About $35 per night per person for both young and old.
Way better than over $100 a night at a hotel. Those that are opening or have been opened recently are all being renovated to appeal to the traveler. Maybe the romantic notion can come to the US now.
Click-y for article.
I love hostels and wish there were more of them here.
