Hostels With Kids: A Surprising Way to Save Money on Summer Travel

But visit a hostel web site, and you'll likely see detailed directions on how to get there via bus, train, and the least-expensive shuttle from airport, train and bus stations. Across from the reception desk at the Austin hostel where I stayed with my son earlier this month was a giant map of the city with notes about bus lines, frequencies of service, fares and recommended destinations. By taking the bus, it cost us just $3 to get to the airport on our way back home, cheaper even than in our home city of Portland, Ore. And far from providing a choice of restaurants with prices that range from double to quadruple what you'd pay outside a hotel, hostels provide a few huge refrigerators, ranges and toasters, complete with masking tape and sharpies to claim your goodies and leftovers. Many of them even have deals with local bakeries and grocery stores to take their excess and day-old bread and other freebie groceries. If you've ever ordered lunch for you and the kids at a hotel restaurant and walked away sweating the $60 tab, the perfectly acceptable (and free) peanut butter sandwich and yogurt will have you singing as you wash your hostel dishes. You can't stay at a hostel if you hate other people; the crowd at a hostel is usually welcoming of all different sorts of people, up to and including children. My eight-year-old spent a half-hour showing another traveler in our co-ed dormitory room his world on Minecraft (his pride and considerable joy). I'd really seen enough of it for one trip and having him engaged while I read my novel was worth more than an hour at a spa. I shared the extra food freebies I picked up at the conference I was attending with the hostel staff, giving me relief from having to cart it back home and providing some new choices for the budding gourmets who worked there. When I went for a run early in the morning, I didn't worry about my son: He'd made a couple of responsible adult friends (one from Cuba, another from Australia) who would watch out for him if he woke up while I was gone. And hostels are packed with guests whose backpacks sport the latest version of every travel book on the market, as well as considerable knowledge in the form of the front desk staff (without the expectation of a concierge-size tip).
