,"Many hostels have Facebook profiles for the hostel instead of Facebook pages. Facebook doesn't like this and can delete your account if they catch it." True, but didnt heard so much stories of Facebook deleting profiles.
On the other hand having a group and (not or) page is a must, but it would be very difficult to promote your page/group without profiles (which you use to invite/add/post on people walls), if your not using pay per click or if your not coca cola or starbucks. In my opinion, having a profile is a necessity, but only using it to direct new guests to page/group.
For example my objects have even 5-6 profiles, for each staff member, as its always better to personalize with previous/future guests, as some guests have better connection with different staff members.
