2) Will have hooks everywhere. On every wall. In every shower stall. So many it looks like the hostel has hook-pox.
3) Will have a place in the shower to change and where things can stay dry.
4) Will have a light in the shower.
5) Will have full length mirrors in each room.
6) Will have staff that can give directions accurately.
7) Will be temperate at night.
8) Will have luggage storage that does not creak like it wants to die a rusty death.
9) Will never smell dank.
10) Will have laundry that a) is easy to use, b) works, and c) does not have soap that smells like cheap, strangely fishy cologne.
11) Will definitely have free breakfast. With fruit. And coffee. Nescafe- shockingly- is not the same thing as coffee.
Wanted to catch you before you left Paris! Had a few ideas but it sounds like you covered a lot! Take it you're now in Barcelona? What a fabulous trip! Do try an go to Madrid and Salamanca, the latter a great old college town, you'll love it...lots of people your age.
ReplyDeleteAre you off to Italy after Spain? What a magnificent experience...
Yes we are now in Barcelona and doing like the Catalonians do. Lots of tapas and siestas! We head to Italy Tuesday night.

Most hostels have free breakfast, just no fruit or coffee. So there.
ReplyDeleteYou just described a mediocre hotel...just saying
ReplyDelete"Will never smell dank" reminds me of when Gary in Team America Word Police tells Lisa that he "will never die".
