Hostels provide accommodations where guests can rent a bed, sometimes a bunk bed in a dormitory and share a bathroom, kitchen and lounge. Rooms can be mixed or single sex, although private rooms are increasingly common in all types of hostels. All hostels are generally cheaper for both the operator and the occupant; many hostels employ their long term residents as desk clerks in exchange for free or reduced price accommodations.

A bed and breakfast normally provides a private bedroom and private or shared bathroom with breakfast or other meals included. Many Bed and Breakfasts charge as much if not sometimes more than a hotel for a room for the night and include many similar amenities.

You will find a list of locally advertised Bed And Breakfasts but many will also show up on the Hostel page. The biggest difference seems to be price and B&B's rarely offer dormitory style accommodations! Beyond those differentiators, it is all marketing.

Whats the difference between a B&B, and a Hostel? (Hostal or Hostales in Spanish).

Seems as though the owners are having difficulties themselves distinguishing what they are to a given market. Many bill themselves as both and use key words on their web sites to that effect. Many B&B's are also labeling themselves as Hotels and vice versa so the confusion deepens even further.

Do you enjoy the ambiance of staying in a Bed and Breakfast?
