hostel stays

Cheap traveler accommodations

Hostel stays are periods spent lodging at hostels—budget accommodations offering shared dormitory-style rooms and common areas.

The phrase appears in travel planning and backpacker culture, where counting hostel stays measures travel experience or loyalty program progress: After fifty hostel stays, you learn to sleep through anything.
