Hi! It's a fantastic concept. I was looking at your member page. How much are the rooms for members?

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.

Hi Adam!
The rooms for members range in price from $15-$25 for a bunk/dorm style room, $35-$45 for a private room/shared bath and our two suites are $95-$105/ea. We have one double room that has a double bed on one side, and the attached room has two love seats that both have fold out singles in them. That rooms is $65-$75.
Membership is $50/yr, or you can pay $20 for a one-month membership, and if you want to continue supporting the project, it's an additional $5 a month. HOWEVER, if you can memorize the Burning Man 10 Principles long enough to regurgitate them to our lobby volunteer, we will GIFT you a credit of $20 for either your first month (continuing is optional), or towards the annual membership fee of $50, essentially making it $30 for the year.
Thanks, and glad to be here!

Aloha, this is our first post as we are looking to start my own hostel near Ocean View Hawaii. We have stayed at hotels and have many ideas but are now looking for any legal ups and downs. Also do we have to be legal within our private subdivision.

My name is Monica I am an architect by profession originally from El Salvador. The Hostel is my focal point in my professional life today, I also direct a development company with residential projects in the Antigua Guatemala area.
I moved to Antigua Guatemala, Central America at the end of 2000, my choice to leave El Salvador was hard, years of war and then a recession. I had my own company designing and building commercial retail stores. But in 1998 I found my self without a means to make a living.
With little money I moved to Antigua Guatemala with the mind set of opening a business, my knowledge of commercial architectural development quickly came into play. After a few months of analyzing the market I quickly discovered the need for a Hostel, the problem no money, But Im that kind of person that when sets my mind in to do something, I will do it. So with lots of creativity and lots of work I manage a year later to get a basic budget to open my hostel. Now after 15 years later here we are looking for the next step to continue growing. Im looking for an investing partner that be involved in the daily operations helping me with Jungle Party hostel, that is the name of my place. Im open to ideas and give the opportunity to the right person to continue with running my hostel.

Hello! Wayne from the UK but living in Poland! (Yes I Brexited early!) :D
We opened Smart Stay Hostel Gdynia last year and have been learning along the way, sometimes painfully! :/ Nothing too major and we ended with a sucessful first year.
Basically, I joined the club here to read about others experiences so we can improve and give our guests the best stay possible.
It's coming to the start of the new season now and we want to start off in the right direction, stresses and strains of building Smart Stay Hostel were last year, this year, we are going one way, Skywards!! ;)
Looking forward to reading about many of your experiences and maybe offering some of my own.
Good luck for 2017 everyone!
