Starting our own hostel looking for advice

Start a Hostel

Krishna Mooroogen started this discussion 2 years 7 months ago

Hi everyone! I hope no one minds but I’m after a little research. A friend and I are starting our own hostel in Portugal, it’s a creative lifestyle hostel centred around developing and collaborating with other creatives from across the globe! As two tech workers who are also artists, for us this includes everything from music to visual artists and digital nomads! We’re trying to build an escape from the rat race of normal life.

To help us make this the best darn venture we want to capture thoughts from the community, So we have created a questionnaire with the hope of understanding the wants, needs and important things. We believe in making cool stuff and making sure cool stuff exists for people so if you are also a hostel owner, we are happy to collaborate share ideas and even the results of our research please connect to do so.

Hi Krishna,

Sorry for the late reply. I was in Romania and Ukraine delivering medical supplies and I'm just now getting back to the forum.

Congratulations on your decision to start a hostel! I have really enjoyed seeing the convergence of hostels, coworking, and the digital nomad lifestyle. I'd love to help you in any way I can. Send me a DM to get started.

I took a look at your survey and I think it asks a lot of questions that many hostel owners will be shy about sharing. Did you get any responses? In any case, I have seen similar surveys in the past and I think you'll find there are very few similarities from hostel to hostel. This can make it difficult to create averages that mean anything.

Look forward to connecting with you.

Darren
