Exploring cost-saving temporary accommodation alternatives with hostel.ng

Temporary accommodations can be for many reasons. It could be a few days’ stay as a business owner or a few weeks’ stay. It can also extend into months, depending on the nature of the current guest’s needs.

The “Airbnb” business model requires that both a host and a guest agree to terms. 

For instance, a host makes available an apartment, a guest checks it out; if he/she loves it, payment is made, and the guest tends to own/use the apartment within the agreed time frame.

This way, the host wins by making money, and the guest also wins by having a temporary getaway apartment that fits his/her budget.

The process of sourcing for a temporary apartment to stay as a traveler, a business owner, or someone seeking a new environment experience, has grown beyond hotels and big apartments, as much as they are nice. 

However, it has also become an issue to get short-term accommodation at budget-friendly prices. 

In this article, I will briefly share the best cost-saving temporary accommodations hostel.ng has to offer.

The Shared room experience

The model around a shared room experience is that two or more people get to pay only a small amount of money, and they get a bed space. 

This is quite interesting for travelers or members of a company traveling together. You get to see each other often, gist, and as well have different bed spaces.

However, this might be a lot more inconvenient for solo travelers who mainly desire privacy. If you’re traveling with a group of familiar people or friends, this is the best bet. 

Hosts with apartment opportunities like this get to make more money as this is a model that saves people more money.

Accommodation in less central areas –

This also is a good bet on saving costs. There are major areas and minor areas.

In most cases, this stratification is based on the city/community infrastructure, population, and organizations within its space, hence it is always quite pricey in places that are less central. 

When you log on to hostel.ng, you have the free will to make a selection of where you want a room. You get a cheaper rate when you consider less central areas.

Private rooms in shared apartment experience –

This is almost similar to the first type of cost-saving approach. 

The only difference here is that you have a full building with different rooms, and you get to pick one, unlike the shared room experience.

By considering these cost-saving approaches, you as a traveler can enjoy a comfortable stay while staying within budget. 

To get started, Log on to hostel.ng and make a room choice.
