Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the best hostel practices and trends, and to evaluate and discuss how they are keeping up with the present demand created by the Millennials market. Design/methodology/approach Methodological approach is based on two complementary qualitative methods: ethnographic participant observation and netnography. Portuguese hostels are the target of this study, as they are considered some of the best in the world. First, a fieldwork was conducted in three top-rated hostels in Lisbon, aiming to immerse in hostel’s environment. Then, 300 online reviews were analysed to identify what customers value the most in those services. Data interpretation was done through a content analysis crossing supply-demand perspectives. Findings Results indicate that, while staying in a hostel, the Millennials want to: meet people, engage in activities and events, have local experiences, feel comfortable/at home, get good value for money and enjoy the convenience. In return, hostels play an important role in hospitality industry by pleasing the Millennials, by offering: central location, an interactive atmosphere, functional facilities, well-planned design and decoration, a set of activities and events and personal treatment. Originality/value This paper is one of the few to describe Millennials’ travel behaviour towards hostels’ services.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to unveil the factors that contribute to a positive hostel experience by electing key features and describing their nature from a customer perspective. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an exploratory, empirical approach, applying netnography to collect information about guests’ experiences from the five selected top-rated hostels in Europe and Latin America. A content analysis of 500 positive reviews was conducted exploring the critical features of service experience in hostel sector. Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro were selected for this study as they are among the destinations that have received top-rated hostel awards. Findings The findings reveal that a hostel experience carries a more symbolic than utilitarian meaning, especially in relation to its social dimension. Results indicate that a hostel stay is positively enhanced by ten key features, namely, staff, supplementary services (e.g. social activities), facilities, location, atmosphere, guests’ interactions, cleanliness, design and decoration, value for money and safety. Staff, supplementary services and facilities were the most mentioned hostel features, which emphasizes their potential to create a favourable environment for social interactions. Research limitations/implications Findings are restricted to a limited sample size and geographical area. The main limitation of the study lies, though, in the lack of studies concerning the specific context of hostels within a service experience approach. Practical implications Some hostels renounce low-quality stigma to establish themselves as a “cool” type of tourist accommodation. Offering a stay based on good value for money and social atmosphere, these establishments are shaping the industry’s future by both redefining the contemporary hostel’s image and attending to modern travellers’ specific needs. Given the increasing importance of hostels to tourism, this study provides information to scholars and industry practitioners who are interested in understanding how service experience can be enhanced in the hospitality industry. Originality/value This paper is a preliminary in-depth examination of factors that positively influence a hostel stay from a customer experience perspective. Thus, it provides insights into service experience management for the tourist accommodation sector.

Abstract:

The paper focused on examining the satisfaction of students with hostel accommodation in tertiary institutions in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. The study sought specifically to identify the level at which students were satisfied with hostel accommodation using fifteen (15) variables. In order to obtain data, three (3) tertiary institutions within the study area were purposively sampled. A total of 150 copies of questionnaire were distributed to residents in the school hostels. Specifically, 50 copies of questionnaire were distributed in each residential hostel in schools that were sample out. Analysis were done using both descriptive statistics such as frequencies and simple percentages as well as relative satisfaction index (RSI) to determine the level of satisfaction of students in the hostels. A five point likert scale was adopted in explaining the level of satisfaction of students with the hostels. The findings revealed that the students were fairly satisfied with the quality, condition and general standards of the hostels in the study area. This is due to the fact that certain facilities that need to be on ground to boost satisfaction level of students were not adequately provided. For instance, it was noted that students do not have maximum access to ICT facilities in hostels. It was also revealed that privacy in hostels had the weakest contribution to student satisfaction in the hostels. In order to boost satisfaction of residents with hostel accommodation, it was suggested that hostels be maintained regularly to avoid deterioration of facilities. It was also recommended that more residential units be developed to accommodate students in the study area. Equally, the students’ priority should be given concern in the housing development process.

Abstract:

Present research is inspired to study the conceptions and misconceptions of hostels in eight different countries (Spain, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, Venezuela, China, Australia). The outcome of the research reports that the participants in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and in Hungary define hostels as youth accommodations, Spanish participants as cheap hotels and Venezuelans call them homeless shelters. The majority of the participants of all the above mentioned countries determine that the most important difference between hostels and hotels is the price. Americans, English, Germans, and Hungarians believe that a night would cost between 10 and 30 Euro in an average hostel, while Spaniards and Venezuelans say it would be under 10 Euro. Most respondents agree that hostels are; located in the city center, great places to socialize, offer safe accommodation, staying in there allows guests to save up money, and they are popular choices among travelers. American and English participants think hostels are only for people who like to party. Spaniards and Venezuelans think, hostels are outside of the city center. Spanish and English participants believe that hostels are too cheap to be able to offer a good service. Most participants say, the low price would be the main reason to stay in a hostel. Americans, English and Germans also think that other values are important besides the price: fun, the opportunity to meet people and atmosphere. In spite of all the above, most participants think people would rather stay in a hotel than in a hostel. Stereotypes evolve in different ways, which also explains how misconceptions about hostels developed.

Abstract:

Background: People residing in UK homeless hostels experience extremely high rates of multi-morbidity, frailty and age-related conditions at a young age. However, they seldom receive palliative care with the burden of support falling to hostel staff. Aim: To evaluate a model embedding palliative specialists, trained as ‘homelessness champions’, into hostels for two half-days a month to provide support to staff and residents and facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to care. Design: An exploratory qualitative design. Setting/participants: Four homeless hostels in London, UK, including nine hostel managers/support staff and seven palliative care specialists (five nurses and two social workers). Results: Benefits to introducing the model included: developing partnership working between hostel staff and palliative care specialists, developing a holistic palliative ethos within the hostels and improving how hostel staff seek support and connect with local external services. Challenges to implementation included limited time and resources, and barriers related to primary care. Conclusion: This is the first evaluation of embedding palliative care specialists within homeless hostels. Inequity in health and social care access was highlighted with evidence of benefit of this additional support for both hostel staff and residents. Considering COVID-19, future research should explore remote ways of working including providing in-reach support to homelessness services from a range of services and organisations.

Abstract:

The study assessed students’ satisfaction with hostel accommodation in selected private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. This was done by comparing the level of housing satisfaction of students residing in selected private universities’ hostels. The study utilized structured questionnaires to obtain primary data from students and university authorities in the two selected private universities in the study area. There were twenty two (22) hostels in the study area (15 hostels in Crescent University, Abeokuta and 7 hostels in Bells University of Technology, Ota). From these hostels, Five (5) hostels from Crescent University and three (3) hostels from Bells University of Technology was randomly selected. There were three hundred and eight (308) rooms in the eight (8) hostels selected. Simple random sampling was used to select thirty five percent (35%) of the rooms in the study area. Thus, the sample size was one hundred and eight rooms (108) (65 from Crescent University and 43 from Bells University). Data obtained were analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics such as frequency tabulation to assess the general levels of students’ housing satisfaction, and also the use of Relative Satisfaction Index (RSI) to determine the degree of students’ satisfaction with each of the housing components identified for the study. The results revealed that students in Bells University of Technology were more satisfied with their hostel accommodation compared to students of Crescent University (RSI = 4.22 and 3.65 respectively for Bells University of Technology, Ota and Crescent University, Abeokuta). The study indicated that the standard of housing components can significantly influence students’ satisfaction with their hostel accommodation. It is therefore pertinent that the university authorities should consider the provision of adequate and quality infrastructure when planning and designing students’ housing.

Abstract:

Physicochemical properties and antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from wastewater samples collected from Al-Hikmah University female hostels were assessed. Samples obtained from different female hostels were examined physiochemically and microbiologically using standard procedures. Phytochemical result revealed the low temperature value of 28°C from Oladimeji and Commaissie hostels, while Deremi and Owaish had a value of 29.5°C. Dissolved oxygen of 0.1 ml/L was recorded from all the samples collected. Electrical conductivity ranged from 658 to 997µs, while chocking odour was recorded in all the four samples collected. In terms of pH, Oladimeji hostel had a pH of 10.5, Deremi had a pH of 10.6, while Owaish and Commaissie had a pH of 10.4. The wastewater samples from the four hostels were highly contaminated. Oladimeji hostel showed a mean bacterial 5count of 25.4×10cfu/ml, Deremi hostel, Owaish hostel and Coomassie hostels, showed a mean 4 4 4bacterial count of 5.7×10cfu/ml,16.8×10cfu/ml and 3.5×10cfu/ml respectively. Percentage occurrence of bacteria isolates were Salmonella sp. (12.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.5%), Escherichia coli (25%), Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%), Actinomyces (12.5%), Shigella sp. (6.25%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.5%) and Proteus vulgaris (6.25%). Antimicrobial sensitivity tests revealed that all the organisms were susceptible to gentamycin except Actinomyces. High microbial load in wastewater samples could have negative effects on human health. This study, further confirms the need to treat wastewater rather than directly discharging it to the environment.

AbstractObjectives: This paper aimed to examine the outcome of hostel treatment including the effect on hospitalisation rates.Methods: The work of the four medium/long term Gloucester hostels developed between 1983 and 1993, to provide 24-hour nursed care to ‘new long stay’ patients in Gloucester is described.Results: Fifty-eight patients with predominately severe mental illness were admitted to the hostels up to 1999, and demographic/illness data is presented. Mean duration of hostel stay was 4.8 years, and one third of patients were readmitted to hospital (most briefly) during their hostel admission, one patient 11 times. Thirty-four patients were discharged from hostels, 29 to less dependent settings, but four referred to hospital care. There was a significant reduction in the number of admissions and duration of hospitalisation in the time between discharge from the hostel to the present or death, as compared with the same time frame for each individual prior to entering the hostel system.Conclusions: The data adds further support to the potential value of 24 hour nursed care for patients with severe mental illness.

Abstract:

A dissertação “Hostels Independentes: o caso de Lisboa” visa contribuir para uma leitura sistematizada da tipologia de alojamento turístico hostel em Lisboa, interpretando o seu contributo para a afirmação da cidade como destino turístico jovem. Os hostels correspondem a uma oferta de alojamento turístico do segmento budget, onde se tem assistido a uma evolução quantitativa e qualitativa na oferta e procura, possível corolário dos desígnios da sociedade ocidental contemporânea, que valoriza a experiência turística em idades cada vez mais jovens. O relatório The Power of Youth Travel (UNWTO, 2012) fundamenta o peso relevante do mercado turístico jovem nas viagens internacionais e na geração de receitas turísticas mundiais. Os hostels, alojamento mais utilizado por este segmento, têm vindo a adaptar-se às especificidades do “novo turismo” e hoje a sua oferta espraia-se num espectro qualitativo variado, com respostas de alojamento diferenciadas, cada vez mais empenhada em satisfazer o seu público-alvo. Elegeu-se a oferta de hostels da cidade de Lisboa como estudo de caso empírico, cuja oferta recente teve um acentuado crescimento nos últimos anos, com particular destaque internacional pelas suas boas práticas. A sua oferta tem contribuído para uma melhoria significativa da capacidade de recepção do turista jovem, através de um conceito de alojamento turístico baseado no preço, informalidade e localização A afirmação do segmento jovem no turismo internacional confere hoje ao hostel um papel de relevo. Tal representa para a cidade de Lisboa um aumento potencial de chegadas turísticas de viajantes associados a novos hábitos de viagem, ao nível da sensibilidade ao preço, utilização intensiva de tecnologias de informação no suporte às tomadas de decisão turística e grande partilha de informação em redes sociais e junto de conhecidos, podendo esta prática traduzir-se em grande influência junto de potenciais turistas. Representa, adicionalmente, um ganho potencial subjacente a uma fidelização de longo de prazo de visitantes jovens que, satisfeitos com a sua visita a Lisboa, poderão regressar numa fase posterior e com outras disposições de consumo, uma vez que estes representam os turistas adultos do futuro. Os resultados apresentados na presente dissertação evidenciam alguns dos contributos desta oferta turística de alojamento para a consolidação da imagem de Lisboa junto do segmento jovem. A dissertação constitui um exercício de reflexão conceptual, consubstanciado na análise descritiva do caso de estudo. O roteiro metodológico, delineado para a interpretação integrada de fontes de informação primárias e secundárias, permitiu dissertar sobre a problemática levantada: que oportunidades acarreta a impulsão do segmento turístico jovem junto dos destinos turísticos?
The dissertation "Independent Hostels: the case of Lisbon" offers a systematic approach of a particular tourist accommodation type – hostel- in Lisbon, and its effectiveness for the image of the city as a tourist destination for young travelers. The hostels are a part of the supply sector of tourist accommodation in the budget segment, where there has been a market evolution, in a quantitative and qualitive matter, possibly as a consequence of contemporary Western society habits, where tourism experiences are increasingly valued at younger ages. The Power of Youth Travel Report (UNWTO, 2012) points out to the relevant extent of the youth travel market in international arrivals and tourism receipts. Hostels, the most frequently used accommodation type by this segment, have been adapted to the “new tourism” specifities, and presently offer a wide variety of answers meeting the specific needs of its target audience. The hostel supply in Lisbon city was choosen as a case study, for its strong growth in recent years, and its international proeminence for its good business practices. It has also contributed to a significant improvement of the ability to receive young tourists, based in a concept of tourist accommodation offering good price, location and informality. The importance of the youth travel market in the international tourism emphasizes today the hostel prominent role. The city of Lisbon is expected to benefit with an increase of young travelers arrivals, related with new travel habits, especially price sensitive, intensive user of information technologies and wide information-sharing on social networks and other platforms, among friends and acquaintances. This practice enhances the influence among potential tourists to Lisbon. In addition, it sustains a potencial gain towards long-term loyalty of young visitors who, satisfied with their visit to Lisbon, may return at a later stage, spending more, as they represent the adult tourists of the future. The findings of this study enhance the contribution of this accommodation sector for the consolidation of Lisbon’s image perceived in the youth segment. This dissertation relies on a conceptual reflection, embodied in the descriptive analysis of the case study. The methodological plan, designed for an integrated interpretation of primary and secondary information sources, allowed to lecture on the most important issue raised: what kind of opportunities brings the youth tourism segment to tourist destinations?

The identification of the dimensions that provide the satisfaction of the clients in means of lodging is an opportunity for these equipments to be loyal to their clients and to differentiate in relation to the quality before their competitors. The hostels are part of a segment that is expanding and presents an audience with specific characteristics and needs distinct from traditional tourists. In this context, the objective of the study was to propose a methodology for evaluating the quality of hostel equipment, based on the radar of innovation and the perceptions of satisfaction of its guests. To this end, the present research makes a review of the literature on these topics for radar construction and subsequent validation of the instrument in equipment located in three of the main tourism induction destinations in Pernambuco. Thus, ten dimensions were created that address the essential attributes for hostel guests, quantified in each of the twenty-nine questions that comprise them. The HOSTQUALI qualifies the analyzed hostels in five stages of quality below: Deficient, Weak, Moderate, Good and Excellent. Finally, HOSTQUALI can be considered an adequate method for quality evaluation in this type of hosting environment, besides being innovative for addressing the quality theme in this follow-up.
A identificação das dimensões que proporcionam a satisfação dos clientes em meios de hospedagem é uma oportunidade para esses equipamentos fidelizarem os seus clientes e se diferenciarem em relação à qualidade ante seus concorrentes. Os hostels fazem parte de um segmento que está em expansão e apresentam um público-alvo com características específicas e com necessidades distintas dos turistas tradicionais. Nesse contexto, o estudo teve por objetivo a proposição de uma metodologia de avaliação da qualidade para equipamentos de hostels, baseada no radar da inovação e nas percepções de satisfação dos seus hóspedes. Para esse fim, a presente pesquisa realiza uma revisão da literatura nessas temáticas para construção do radar e posterior validação do instrumento em equipamentos localizados em três dos principais destinos indutores do turismo em Pernambuco. Assim, foram criadas dez dimensões que abordam os atributos essenciais para os hóspedes de hostels, quantificadas em cada uma das vinte e nove questões que as compõem. O HOSTQUALI qualifica os hostels analisados em cinco estágios de qualidade a seguir: Deficiente, Fraco, Moderado, Bom e Excelente. Por fim, o HOSTQUALI pode ser considerado um método adequado para avaliação da qualidade nesse tipo de meio de hospedagem, além de ser inovador por abordar a temática da qualidade nesse seguimento.

Abstract:

Mergers and acquisitions as well as the want to enter in new markets, if well projected, usually lead to the rebranding process. The whole company organization lives a turning point. A change in name, as useful as dangerous, is a process that allows the company to change consumers’ perceptions about the company, deleting all the previous connections with the older name. The repositioning strategy, accordingly, aims to make people positively thinking about the brand; their “top of mind” brand associations should mirror as homogeneously as possible a positive image of the company. In service companies, employees play an essential role: by interacting directly with customers, they have to convey exactly the core values of the brand identity; a brand mantra, with few words, may remind to all stakeholders what the company believes in. In the hospitality industry, in particular, the relationship between corporate brand, clients and workers is fundamental. The a&o Hostels case presents an overview on the main changes a service corporate brand lives. Rebranding in the accommodation/hospitality industry is a very delicate phase, and the brand image plays consequently a powerful role. Rebranding is hence an opportunity to exploit if the brand identity remains coherent to its core values and enough brave to navigate towards the unknown world of innovation.

Abstract:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, managing student accommodations is a crucial aspect for both schools and colleges. This paper delves into the fundamental necessity for effective Hostel Management Systems and advocates for the adoption of contemporary, technology-driven solutions over traditional methods.Hostel life plays a significant role in the overall student experience, and the outdated manual approaches for managing hostels are no longer sufficient for the diverse needs of educational institutions. These conventional methods are time-consuming, prone to errors, and lack the agility required to keep pace with the dynamic nature of schools and colleges.This review paper explores the world of Hostel Management Systems, emphasizing the urgency for a shift from outdated practices to modern, technology-enabled solutions. By doing so, educational institutions can benefit from real-time monitoring, efficient resource allocation, enhanced security measures, and improved communication channels among hostel authorities, students, and parents.The paper consolidates insights from various research studies, providing a holistic understanding of the Hostel Management System landscape. By examining the combination of research findings, this review aims to offer valuable insights into the evolution of these systems, their impact on institutional efficiency, and the challenges faced during implementation in both school and college settings.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper discusses how multiculturalism is realized in the present-day onomastic landscape when hotels, hostels and lodgings for tourists are named in the downtown of Hungary’s capital. Based on names collected from online maps and popular websites offering accommodation, the author explores some characteristic features of these urban names (e.g. the frequent use of peculiar generic terms and the presence of additional components in the name forms referring to hotel chains, themes or services). Special attention is paid to semantics (e.g. specifiers indicating the location, the surroundings, an architectural feature of the building; the style of the interior design; the owner of the establishment) and language origin. The observed names belong to different cultural layers, providing references, for instance, to medieval sign boards, 19th-century monarchic and Hungarian national values as well as images of modern globalization.

Abstract:

There are numerous claims for sustainability in design, design research, environmental ergonomics, and other areas about human-environment interaction. However high specificity of each area, fragmented research, and various approaches to sustainability have induced the need to discuss the relationship between sustainability, design, and human interaction with involving environment, especially in built environment. New trend of growing number of independent hostels in Lisbon calls for deep analysis of this system. The study of publications, both scientific and public, was made to understand the characteristics of it. This article emphasizes the relations among sustainability, interior design, comfort, and well-being, necessary to understand the end-user of these travel accommodations. The findings are contributing for development of survey to be carried out in second phase of research.

York University Libraries, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.25071/10315/38513.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted people experiencing homelessness. Homeless shelters and hostels, as congregate living spaces for residents with many health vulnerabilities, are highly susceptible to outbreaks of COVID-19. A synthesis of the research-to-date can inform evidence-based practices for infection, prevention, and control strategies at these sites to reduce the prevalence of COVID-19 among both shelter/hostel residents and staff. Methods: A scoping review in accordance with Arksey and O’Malley’s framework will be conducted to identify literature reporting COVID-19 positivity rates among homeless shelter and hostel residents and staff, as well as infection control strategies to prevent outbreaks in these facilities. The focus will be on literature produced in high-income countries. Nine academic literature databases and 11 grey literature databases will be searched for literature from March 2020 to July 2021. Literature screening will be completed by two reviewers and facilitated by Covidence, a systematic review management platform. A third reviewer will be engaged to resolve disagreements and facilitate consensus. A narrative summary of the major themes identified in the literature, numerical counts of relevant data including the COVID-19 positivity rates, and recommendations for different infection control approaches will be produced. Discussion: The synthesis of the research generated on COVID-19 prevalence and prevention in homeless shelters and hostels will assist in establishing best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases at these facilities in high-income countries while identifying next steps to expand the existing evidence base.

Abstract:

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted homeless populations and service workers, especially within homeless shelter/hostel settings. To date, there have been few evidence syntheses examining outbreaks of COVID-19 among both homeless shelters residents and service workers, nor has there been a critically engaged summary of relevant infection control and prevention (IPAC) measures. This scoping review offers a timely and much-needed synthesis of COVID-19 prevalence within homeless shelters and a review of current and pertinent IPAC measures. Methods: We conducted a scoping review in June 2021 that synthesized academic and grey literature published from March 2020 to July 2021 pertaining to 1) the prevalence of COVID-19 among both residents and staff in homeless shelters and hostels in high-income countries, and 2) COVID-19 IPAC strategies applied in these settings. Two reviewers independently screened the results of the literature search of several databases that included MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and the WHO’s COVID-19 Global Health Portal. All the extracted data was mapped, categorized, and thematically discussed. Results: Thematic analysis of included literature revealed five key themes: 1) the demographics of COVID-19 in homeless shelters, 2) asymptomatic spread, 3) pre-existing vulnerability of the homeless and shelters, 4) the limited application of IPAC, and 5) IPAC effectiveness. Conclusion: This review offers a useful glimpse into the landscape of COVID-19 outbreaks in homeless shelters/hostels and the major contributing factors to these events. The scoping review revealed that there is no clear indication of generally accepted IPAC standards for homeless populations and shelter care workers. This review also illustrated a great need for future research to establish IPAC best practices as well as additional resources for shelter systems to protect residents and staff at homeless shelters/hostels in high-income countries. Finally, the findings from this review reaffirm that homelessness prevention is a key to limiting disease outbreaks, and the associated negative health outcomes in shelter populations.

Abstract:

This report presents the findings of a baseline study conducted at the University of Kabianga (UoK), Kenya. The study’s aim was to establish the status of access to and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for teaching and learning at UoK. The baseline study established that UoK’s institutional preparedness status can be represented as ‘emerging preparedness.’ UoK provides Internet access to both instructors and learners in some areas of the university. However, learners felt they should have Internet access in more places, including their hostels, to improve the TEL experience. Learners had positive perceptions about using technology in their learning, but they indicated the need for greater bandwidth and for more desktop computers to be available in non-ICT courses. The study also established that lecturers have positive attitudes towards the use of TEL. However, they have concerns about a lack of faculty training on TEL and a lack of time to develop courses for delivery using technology.
