The ABC's of Hostel Booking: Part 1, A - F (featuring The Crib Hostel in Plovdiv, Bulgaria)

A,B:  A BED, A BUDGET

So, ya wanna travel the world and you kinda don't wanna sleep outside EVERYday, you wanna sleep in a bed - and you're on a tight budget.  What to do, what to do?  A bed in a hostel helps you balance and stay on your budget  :)  At The Crib Hostel in Plovdiv, Bulgaria you can stay in a nice, comfortable, clean bed in a 6-bed dorm for only 7 euro.  If you choose to reserve a room in a 5-bed dorm you only need to add 2 euro more per night.

(Each room in the hostel comes with large windows, lockers, air-conditioner/heater, and this 5-bed room is directly connected to a terrace.)

 

(Just me, chillin' outside on the terrace leading from the 5-bed room at The Crib Hostel in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.)

 

If something more private suits your fancy, The Crib Hostel also offers a private room for 11 euro/per person/per night.  Whichever room you choose, the prices are reasonable enough to offer you a bed without beating up your budget.

 

 

C,D,E,F:  CRIB'S Delicious Edible Food

 

Any traveller can tell you that one of the main culprits of a budget beatdown is food - meals, how NOT to starve.  The Crib has the answer.  If you stay at the hostel for more than 2 nights, on your 3rd night and every night thereafter until the end of your stay, you get - wait for it -  FREE DINNER!  Just imagine booking your room, taking a pleasantly warm shower in one of the 2 bathrooms, sitting down on one of the 5 bean bags and enjoying a well-cooked meal surrounded by people who are willing to share experiences with you.
