Paddy hostel

I'm not sure if you really get a good picture of hostels as they go. By all means I travel as cheaply as possible. Which means you do give up a few comforts. To their credit they have always been clean. My first shower was an adventure you never know how the water will come out faster or slow hot or cold. Well there was one button on the wall you push it and it gave a steady stream of water for 3 seconds. While in the meantime I'm trying to get the soap to lather up. While I simultaneous pushed the button to get rinsed off. From that experience I walked away a cleaner guy. Also you never know who will be in the room with you but that is part of the thrill of saving money. I was put in a room with three other guys and an elderly lady who could snore most people I know under the table. Hosteling is really a great way to meet people from all over the world I would recommend you try it at least once.
