There are many snobs who will stare at you if you say them that you stayed in a Hobart hostel while touring Tasmania. People actually have a lot of misconception about Hobart hostels. They think them to be a small, dirty, unsafe and uncomfortable place of stay appropriate for party animals. However, this is not the case always. There are ones that you will never revisit once you have stayed for a night but there are good ones as well. So, Hobart hostels are not always unsafe and uncomfortable. Here are a few misconceptions, which many people have about these hostels.
You'll be packed like sardines in a ten people dorm
There are huge dorm rooms with one shared bathroom for too many people but that's the cheapest option available in Hobart hostels. If you want to spend a few extra dollars, you can upgrade to a private room or en ensuite room, whichever you want. En-suite rooms are costlier than private rooms and is suitable for a romantic and comfortableaccommodation in Hobart . The private rooms cater for budget customers who want a bit more privacy than dorms. So, the choice depends upon the traveller - whichever room he or she wants to stay in.
I'll have to sleep on the floor
Obviously not. Hobart hostels have beds in all sizes and shapes - double beds, twin beds, single king size beds and bunk beds. So, you will never come across any place where you will need to sleep on the cold floor. But this is true that there are many people who roll padded mat on floor and cover up themselves with duvet when staying in some hostels in Asia. However, this is because it is a part of their culture. A lot of people in Asia sleep in that way in their homes.
People may steal your valuables
This may only happen if you are sharing your room or dorm with some shady people. It is true that it will not be possible for you to understand the habit and behaviour of people within such a short span of time but still you can avoid this from happening by not leaving your belongings dispersed all over your bed. You need to be organised yourself and keep the things locked in your bag whenever you are not in the room.
