Wow! I didn't know there was even such a thing. Ha ha ha!

That was helpful. I've never heard of hostels before. Good thing there are some in Aruba. I'm planning to go there alone sometime.

Hostels seem to be a good place for those who travel as a group. I am a bit concern with the comfort room. I stayed in a dormitory type and they have only a common comfort room for everybody. Does hostel have one inside the room?

Oh... I know what you mean. Come to think of it, it really is kind of frustrating when there's a lot of times that you do not have the freedom of the bathroom.

It would be pretty difficult to have a common comfort room. Anyway, hostels would be a nice place to stay because it could accommodate number of persons. How is the security of the place?

If we would stay in a hostel, are we charge per head or per room? How many persons could be accommodated in each room? This is interesting since we will go to Aruba as a group.

At a hostel, they will probably charge per person if multiple people are going to stay in a room. Think of it as something like a dorm room. Many other people will live there, too, for different periods of time. Lots of people will probably be coming and going. I guess the aspect of food is dependent on the hostel.

Really? I was thinking they would just give you the price for one room and it will

now depends on how many person will be accommodate in that room. Does the

room you are referring had a common cr?:rolleyes:
