Stories wanted! Have you opened a hostel with a ridiculously small budget?

Start a Hostel

Damien N. started this discussion 6 years 5 months ago

Hello everyone!

Like the title says, I am looking for cool start-up stories in the hostel industry to see how people managed to get a hostel up and running with a small budget. :-)

Why?

I am collecting interesting and daring start-up stories which ended well. There is a little circle of aspiring entrepreneurs in my city and we would like to hold local presentations in colleges in order to encourage people to persue their plans as it is a rather conservative area.

Thanks in advance for sharing!

Best regards

Damien

The guys behind Bunk + Brew in Bend, Oregon did a presentation at the American Hostel Conference about bootstrapping their hostel. http://www.bunkandbrew.com/

Joe Gill who has 3 hostels in the US did as well. https://bonpaulandsharkys.com/index.html

Less than 5000 euros?

Hi Mike (BluePool-Hostel), I would like to start a new hostel and I would love to start with this kind of budget. Could you please contact me when you have time?
