Hi,
I worked in hostels for many years and realized that there weren't many resources for people who run hostels or who want to open a hostel. I hope that you enjoy the site and find it useful. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site better, please let me know. My goal is to create a resource that will promote hostels and hostelling, especially in places where hostelling is not as common (e.g., here in the USA). Post in this section to introduce yourself to the other forum users.

Hey Adam!
Thanks for replying so quickly! I would love to work in Mexico but at the moment I have to stay in Australia and save and get some sort of base. I would love to see a link of your hostel and some details of duties the manager does there :-)
Cheers Matt

Hola!
My name is Alex and I've traveled and stayed in hostels in over 50 countries. Traveling is my passion and sometime in the near future I would like to start my own hostel in Central America. From a work standpoint my background is in online marketing and I've recently started a company to help hostels grow by promoting them online. As I'm sure you are all aware, technology has drastically changed the way that people travel over the last decade and my aim is to make sure hostels keep their bunk rooms full through online marketing.
Here's a better description on what I do for hostels: http://kudunetwork.com/hostel-marketing/
I'd be happy to do a free evaluation to members of this forum who own a hostel and are interested on what they could improve. Please let me know.
Happy Travels,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Welcome to the site! And thank you for the free online marketing valuation offer for our members! I’m sure that there are plenty of people in the forum who would be interested in knowing where they could improve their marketing efforts.
To get a little more exposure you might want to put a listing for your company in our Service Directory as well.
Cheers!

Hey everyone, my name is Viktor.
While I juggle my four jobs and two full time-studies in Oslo, Norway, I dream of starting a hostel in this city of the north. Last winter, a friend and I had a five week pop-up project, to check out how the marked was for such a hostel venue. The results was really good. This is why I currently work 24/7 - to enable my self to boot strap this project. The reason that I am here, is not only to learn the science behind it all, but also get in touch with fellow minded people who might want to join the project. Either an investor or a partner who are ready to get hands on. Until then, I will continue work-study pace, and hopefully it will all pay off some day.
Happy to finally have an account on this page. :)

Hi Viktor,
Welcome to the site. I'm curious and intrigued about your "Pop-Up Hostel" concept. I have heard of other hostel owners testing there proposed hostel location with an Airbnb listing. Is that what you did or something else? This would be a great forum discussion in itself: "How to test your proposed hostel location".
