Hostels and holiday parks suit travellers who want a good base at a fair price, and they work best when you pick the room type that fits your trip. Dorms are the cheapest and sociable, while private rooms give more quiet, so check bathroom arrangements, lockers and kitchen access. A central location saves on transport, and booking direct or in advance gets better rates in summer and school holidays. Early arrivals and late check-ins are usually possible if you tell staff ahead, and quiet hours are worth reading.
