Today’s prompt is all about designing the perfect hostel. Now, as some of you know – I’ve never actually stayed in a hostel (but stay tuned – I am doing it for the first time this weekend AAHHH)!
I grabbed these from Google Maps Street View:
Why would I like to buy it? Well to turn into a high-end hostel! It would, of course, be biker friendly. The parking lot to the left has plenty of rooms for cars and motorcycles!
I envision some rooms that allow for privacy, LOL, but not so frilly as below. In between the two beds would be a pocket airwall that could be left open or closed for privacy. This set up would have four beds per room:

While this set up, still allowing for privacy, would have six beds per room. They would be much more comfortable than this, though. The wood would also be nicer/dark:

Three beds per room, different look:

And the one bed layout would be like this, but definitely different decorations, and would have a flat screen TV:
There would be a Harley Davidson themed game-room, of course. All photos Harley Davidson:
The welcome seating area would be large and comfortable, with darker sofas than this – sofas that people shouldn’t be afraid to put their feet up on:

The bathrooms would be spa locker-room style, allowing for both privacy and multiple people to use it at the same time. One for the guys and one for the gals.

 |
| Multiple showers |
And lastly, the cherry on top, so to speak… A rooftop bar. You can’t have a property in San Diego without a rooftop bar, complete with fire-pit. This wouldn’t be a loud, obnoxious party all night long type of bar, but definitely let loose until a decent hour, have some wine and cocktails while winding down kind of place. Also a great spot to read and chill out during the day. It would have a lot of plants brought to you by the hubs! He has a green thumb. Let’s just say I don’t.

I am sure I’m leaving things out because I’ve never been to a hostel, but I envision something where people would want to relax. Definitely clean and not what I’ve seen in horror movies. Just because it’s a hostel doesn’t mean it can’t be awesome.
What a question! Have you ever thought about opening your own hostel? What would it look like?
