There are many times when we think to visit new city or a country but we become hesitant when we think about the staying cost etc. because accommodation cost is the major expense when we visit any decent hotels at any tourist places as it costs too much. But when we have the option of tourist hostels, then it becomes very convenient to visit any place at a low budget too.
These hostels are very viable options for bachelors who travel alone or in a group as the bachelors do not have too much choice regarding the room size and the types of rooms etc.
All they want is a clean room with good fooding options and the place where they stay should not be in the outskirts of the city and should be in the centre with easy access to the markets nearby where they could do the shopping and get good fooding options at good restaurants. So it is mostly such people only who have a hobby to visits and see new places stay in such hostels as they find such hostels very pocket friendly as there they get rooms on sharing basis just like a college hostels so they get good company also and sometimes the room partners become such good friends that they travel together and if they are from different places then the partners get to know about places so that in case they visit their city, the other person helps in seeing the places around.
However it is not very easy to get rooms in these kinds of hostel in Jerusalem Old city because all the tourist places have their rooms booked and no room is vacant if one tries to book the room on the spot so it is better to pre book the room at least fifteen days prior to the day to visiting. All these bookings are done through Internet and sometimes in off season they take the bookings by a phone call too.
