Other amenities include a jet-propelled toilet, a fine selection of Folgers coffee and specialty teas, and a kitchen stocked with breakfast food and cold cuts (but be careful about asking the hostess to make you a sandwich when you stroll in a 2:30 a.m.)

Hostels regularly provide organised events and activities. The types of fun things that dull hotel patrons would most likely “tut” at.
