Podcast: "7 reasons hostels rock and how to really enjoy them"

7 reasons hostels rock and how to really enjoy them (from indietravel's site)
http://indietravelpodcast.com/podcast/7-reasons-hostels-rock/

• Hostels are sociable
• Hostels are well-located
• Hostels have friendly staff
• Hostels have cheap services
• Support the local economy
• Hostels have free wifi
• Hostels have bars

I didn't have a chance to listen to the podcast yet, but I think it's great that they put "hostels are sociable" as the #1 point. That is where I think hostels have an advantage over hotels (more than price).
