I think hostel blogs are a great tool for building traffic and search engine rankings.
If you start a blog, put it on your own website for maximum traffic benefit (e.g., example.com/blog/).
Blocks to Hostel Blogs?
Promoting the Hostel Movement
I am keen to start a blog about our hostel - we have a bar (open to the public) and in the next 2 months we will open a cultural activity centre in our building. There should be plenty of content to write about - I am just concerned about the time it would take to maintain it and keep it relevant.
I'd love to hear views on whether blogs for hostels are worthwhile and any insight or experience other places have.

you don't have to write an epic every day either - maybe just upload a few photos and make some comments about it? or encourage your staff to add to the blog so it's not all on you? it doesn't have to be a huge deal but i think it can really add to a website - let's potential punters have more of an idea of what is going on, makes it look lively etc...good luck!

If you have a mobile phone with a keyboard or an iPod Touch, you could even blog from it by sending email to a special email account. Staff could blog (and/or Twitter) live from the bar or the hostel BBQ.
There are also many programs that let you quickly write blog posts from your desktop:
