I there I'd like to start the website of our future hostel and I cam across this doubt: Drupal or Wordpress CMS for a 50-80 people hostel?. I already know how to manage drupal sites, but a lot of people are talking about Wordpress those days and I am happy to try it if you guys think is worthy.

Thanks a have a great dat ;)

I've built websites for hostels using both systems. I think that WordPress is easier for clients to maintain, but if you know Drupal, then Drupal works too.

With WordPress, you can update with a mouse click. In Drupal, you typically go to the command line and use drush commands for that. I think that it's more time consuming. Drupal has more features in some areas.

I don't think it matters for a hostel website unless you're adding interactive features. Both are good a delivering web pages.

Thanks a lot,

I am good with computer staff but I'd like to build a website that others can also manage. I think for that porpoise Wordpress is going to be easier. I read the learning curve in Wordpress is small compare with Drupal, so it would also for me be easy to make the change. I am assuming that if in the future we want to add interactive features Wordpress is also capable, right?

Have a good day and thanks a lot again for your advise

Yes...you can develop on top of WordPress.

I think that Drupal used to have an advantage, but WordPress improved a lot over the past few years and became more than a blogging platform.
