hostel stay

Cheap traveler accommodation

A hostel stay is a period spent lodging at a hostel—budget accommodations popular with backpackers and young travelers, typically featuring shared dormitory rooms and communal facilities.

The phrase emphasizes the experience rather than just the place: My hostel stay in Barcelona was chaotic but memorable.

Often contrasted with more expensive hotel options.
