Hostel horror stories

I’m in transit on my way home from Lviv, Ukraine. In this lovely and still good value city I was able to afford a hotel room, and jolly nice it was too. But like all hotels it was missing a few things that you only find in hostels, those friends of budget travellers everywhere. Any good hostel has three things no hotel, even the most expensive, can offer: the perfect atmosphere to make friends, communal areas to hang out in and the possibility of sharing your sleeping space with eccentric fellow travellers from all over the world.
