The Chelsea Bunn Youth Hostel is located just north of the University of Texas, providing a peaceful setting only minutes from downtown Austin. Guests are only footsteps away from bus lines, the hike & bike trail, and the Colorado River. A 10 minute journey could take you to the middle of the Red River music district, to the stylish hub of South Congress, to the cool waters of Barton Springs Pool, or to many nearby shops and restaurants (including a five star Taco Cabana and several Four Loko and Bud Light Clamato vendors). The fun and friendly staff would love to give you some ideas of what to do in town and directions on how to get there!
Sleeping arrangements include an extremely comfy couch and a futon (be sure to ask for the second mattress). 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 are known to offer way more adventure for your money. Unlike hotels, they provide shared social spaces (dorms, common-rooms and kitchens) where you will unexpectedly become best friends with other global adventure-seekers (usually whilst chatting about where they have been, or what they are eating.) Hostels regularly provide organised events and activities. The types of fun things that dull hotel patrons would most likely “tut” at. These include happy hours and Beer Pong, an internationally recognised hostel sport, with games held every 10 minutes.
I went solo backpacking for a few months and stayed in hostels. I lost a few socks, but I gained 3267 new friends.

Accommodation for 'real travellers.' A place where adventurous souls unite, to discuss how to avoid going back to their homelands. Hostels differ from hotels in that they cater for more fun, less pretentious peeps. The 'S' in hostel stands for sociable or sexy, which accurately describes the type of travellers who stay there.
Dull person: "I'd never stay in a hostel."
Real traveller: "You're missing out."
Dull person: "On what exactly?"
Real traveller: "The people. The vibe. The energy. The savings. The stories. The events. The friendships. The memories. The adventures." etc. etc.
