I'm too old for hostels now .. fkn snorers and inconsiderate people being loud , turning on the lights in the wee hours of the night ... also difficult to toss it in a gal with 13 other people watching .. youre a stronger man than I.. cheers dude
Another great vid. Also enjoyed reading about the experiences from the comments below. This old Boomer sure envies the carefree, live each day to the fullest vibe. With that said, please, please be careful as you start traveling down south. Please have a plan in place as different scenarios present themselves. I love you Kevin and Pavi!
Worst hostel I almost stayed at are in Mexico as well. Owner basically laid out a mattress in the kitchen next to where a dog is sleeping. I nearly drop kicked the guy!
Would love to see you back on the road. Thailand is opening back up. Your best videos are the ones in SE Asia.. miss that vibe. While I love your current series, getting a bit bored of Mexico content. As for my worst hostel experience, I had my buddy choose a hostel for the night for us on the Khao San Road. He's a very budget minded traveler so he went with the cheapest he could find on this street. Turned out the hostel entrance was in the back of a pharmacy lol. Zero vibe and very basic dorms. We met another traveller there and he came out with us for the evening. At some point we lost him, and then back at the hostel, he was no where to be found, even the next day, even though all his stuff was there. We alerted the hostel staff but they didn't seem to care. So Kiwi Ben, I hope you are alive and well.
My worst experience was at a hostel in Manila back in 2015, it was central and cheap. I ended up getting no sleep due to loud music coming in from a market outside. I didn't really worry for my life at that time, but thinking back I could have spent a bit more for better accommodation. I also had to get up super early for a flight the next morning. After that I only stayed in a hostel maybe one more time before retiring my hostel days. Wish I could go back to Asia soon though!!!
Ahha reminds me of a $5 hotel I booked in Taiyuan, China. Was bizzarely in a residential tower block complex which seemed to be aimed at old people, the guy at the gate had literally no idea there was supposedly an "international youth hostel" there. The address listed it as being on the 12th floor, but after a heart-attack-inducing trip up the elevator I discovered the door all sealed up with some weird plastic wrap, a dead rat on the floor in the corridor, and some creepy looking guy smoking... Suffice to say I didn't even go in (and took the stairs down lol 😅), and enjoyed a night in the second worst hotel round the corner...
I've stayed in private rooms that were worse than these hostels. I stayed in a room in a house in Bulgaria once. I got back to the room at night, pulled the covers back on the bed and about 30 cockroaches darted everywhere. Another time in Jakarta there was a room that was just a cement box and every time we turned the lights off there was the sound of something scurrying around the room and up the walls. We slept with the lights on and then took off once the sun came up. We never found out what was making that sound. I am much more picky these days.
I lived on a kibbutz once....way worse conditions.....:-),......an we had to work too, for free...:-)....so glad you didn't stay at the last one....:-)...fair play......we're not idiots. we are rational beasts....:-)
Thank God🙏🏽you didn’t stay there (#1) I was scared 😱 for you! You had my heart pumping fast😨I have to admit that you are very brave to go inside a place like that. Lol
Very interesting and eye opener for a lot of people! Never thought of $3 a night exists and it does feel like a homeless vibe on your #1,2 and 3. Great stuff but you will never get me there…haha!
With COVID going on the way it is, I rather you to stay away from those places to keep safe and sound. That way you can produce more for the ones who enjoy watching you
Between 2016 and 2018 I hostelled a lot in multiple countries in Asia and honestly my worst hostelling experiences were in the country where it was most expensive - Japan. I just got incredibly unlucky, I stayed at multiple hostels in different areas of Tokyo and I was plagued by snorers at every single one. Nothing wrong with the hostels themselves, but god dammit people who know they snore need to do everyone a favour and not subject strangers to it. That trip was the time I decided fuck hosteling, i'm not some broke backpacker any more I have a job and have got a hotel ever since (that and getting a girlfriend around the same time put hostelling out of the question)
Can foreigners still stay in China's hostel? Somehow I have trouble booking/checking in hotel or hostels under 3stars... apparently its due to some government regulation...
You said you felt like you were in jail at the Mexican hostel , but the truth is, even prisoners and jailbirds have more leg-room to sleep, but I can see why that guy was so adamant on discouraging you from staying there.. for one, you're too tall for the beds and secondly, I would not feel safe there..
This is nothing, back in the 90s i stayed in a "hotel" in Phan Rang (which was mosquito heaven) which looked like it was converted from a mental asylum or took inspiration from the Hanoi Hilton....very loud, people screaming thru the night, in fact maybe it was a nut house🤔 Fortunately the doors were solid metal like prison so nothing could get in to your room but you had the impression you didnt want to get out either.😄
@@Monkeyabroad is it? Why didn’t you went to each and every hostels in each particular city with the same price range and tested out living in each of them before you made your pick?
😀haven't checked MA for a while. So glad to see you are still active, Keep up the good work.

That Mexico City hostel was one step above concentration camp bunks.

When you first showed that Mexican hostel, I said to myself, "there's no way in hell they stayed there". 😂
Don't blame you!
Yeah there was just no way
he got weak haha used to be a tough backpacker

good and practical advise,
Man, some of these places, I think you were lucky to get out of them with your lives. lol
hahaha
This guy is wild when it comes to seggs, so those things not to be mentioned, I truly believe. He’s flipping awesome.

Stayed in the four queens in Vegas. Now I know why they call it the city that never sleeps.
This gives me PTSD of my really bad dorm experiences🤣
I hit like and watched the ads on your vid, all cause you like LA BEAST
Yeah he’s an OG RUclipsr
@@Monkeyabroad but I also enjoyed your content subbed!
I can’t imagine what the washroom facilities were like?!
Very interesting and eye opener for a lot of people! Never thought of $3 a night exists and it does feel like a homeless vibe on your #1,2 and 3. Great stuff but you will never get me there…haha!
yeah man, I knew there was no shot you stayed at the hostel in Mexico City! I would have dipped as well
Viva Mexico! Takes the cake as always :)
Plenty more stuff coming your way soon Miggy
@@Monkeyabroad nice brooo

Thanks but covid isn't a concern at all. I dont ever think about it/worry about it

The Mexican hostel kinda looks like squidgame with all the numbers and multi bunks
Can foreigners still stay in China's hostel? Somehow I have trouble booking/checking in hotel or hostels under 3stars... apparently its due to some government regulation...
Gotta speak chinese and finesse your way in
That Hostel in Mexico city looks like a prison bunk bed.
Great video but u should rate and show the hostels more then just the people
What Hostal do you recommend staying in playa del Carmen
Nice video

If only I could sleep in hostels... I'm a very light sleeper. I only liked a few in Japan :)
a hostel with hot guys like Kevin is a good hostel
Kevin, how can I contact you?

Think I've done worse lol, Philippines has some shockers
maybe dont choose the $3 place Kevin..hahhahah, visit peru..i recommend you a nice place $8
Bread for the bread man
我在想你真的會住那些青年旅舍，因爲你唯一的行李是一個紅色背包。視頻最後你回答了我的問題哈哈。難道你不會跟你的女朋友住條件好一點的房間？
How many languages can you speak ? Impressive
mi peor Hostel de la vida: en Potosi, Bolivia...
I smashed it....
In a couple of years, you will probably be choosing to stay at a nice hotel instead
Already doing that actually haha. Just filming these videos for fun
Accounting 😉
Kevin should only stay in 4 star hotels.
Now yes, at least 3 star hotels only.
Have you ever been bed bug attacked in a hostel? 😀
No I dont think so
Thar looks like prison cell....
Lmfao
The title is misleading. You get what you pay for.
What's misleading, these are the worst
