		smokinn on July 26, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Sorry AirBnB Hipsters, I’ll Take Health and Safety... I'm not sure, I've mostly only stayed in hostels in Canada. The last one I stayed at in Ottawa had rooms for 25$/night in the dorm or 60$/night for a private single bed room. http://www.ottawahostel.com/

In most of Europe it seems ~20 euros/night for a dorm bed is about the standard.

I'm used hostels (& couch surfing) quite a lot and never really had problems, but I guess it depends on the region you are traveling in.

Tallanvor's approach seems unnecessarily paranoid to me, but I don't know where he travels too.
