All hostels provide bedsheets and/or a blanket for your dorm bed, as well as a pillow, so there's no need to bring those. And thank heavens, because a pillow would be a pain in the neck to stuff into a backpack.
What do hostels provide?
A hostel is a lower-priced inn of sorts that offers basic, shared accommodations. Typically, a hostel features a large room with separate beds, a shared bathroom, and a communal kitchen. Some hostels have private rooms, but the lower-cost ones generally offer bunk beds.
Do hostels provide toilet paper?
Do hostels give you bedding?
Most hostels provide clean linens for free, or will rent them to you for a few dollars per stay. In fact, many hostels forbid outside linen and sleeping bags, due to hygiene concerns. Always carry your own towel. Most hostels provide kitchen facilities where you can cook, eat, and store your food.
How often do people hook up at hostels?
According to a study by Hostelbookers 41% of female and 52% of male backpackers engaged in a one night stand whilst on their travels. 9.6% of these frisky travellers slept with 5 or more people during their journey and 17% (the lucky devils) had a threesome whilst on the road.
