Hostel rooms for 3

[rissama]

Hey, I'm going backpacking w/2 of my friends.... is it possible for us to get a double room for the 3 of us if one of is okay w/sleeping on the floor? would the hostel owners care?

You can get a triple room.

Almost certainly the hostel owner will care if you try to squeeze 3 people into a 2-person room. And it's quite likely the room will be so tiny there's scarcely any floor space anyway.

rissama, as WT pointed out, I don't think having one person sleeping on the floor will be an option.

Some Hostels have four-bed Dorms, so if you don't mind at least one room mate that might be something to consider? Even a six-bed Dorm would be good. I'm assuming the main consideration is that all of your party is in the same room?

Cheers!!!

Aside from 4-bed, 6-bed dorm rooms, there are indeed private rooms that have more than 2 beds in it. For these private room, you'll need to book the whole room though and there are often 3-bed rooms, but usually 4 or 5 depending on the hostel/B&B/guesthouse.

You should check out hostelworld and skim through the places and find out which ones do offer these special rooms.

EDIT - If you are planning to stay in the UK, it is worthwhile to check out Travelodge UK for they are economical and have special 15-pound and 26-pound room rates. They have family rooms (fits 4 people) and for 15-pounds or 26-pounds for the entire room, that's a huge bargain and much cheaper than a hostel!

You can also pay for the fourth person and let it go empty. That may or may not be cheaper than booking a triple hotel room.

thanks for the replies. I think I finally talked my friend into staying in dorm roms sometimes to save money. the 3 people in a 2 person room was her idea.
