Guide to booking budget accommodation online from hostels247.com

There’s something new and exciting happening in the hostels and budget accommodation online booking scene.

Hostels247.com has launched their new user friendly eye candy site that even an internet virgin is able to use.

Don’t worry if you’re a tech-wiz there are a lot of back end innovative improvements that have made booking your accommodation faster, easier and hassle free, but now everything looks clean fresh and inviting to use, no large amounts of text information or clutter distracting people from booking. Don’t worry for those of you that want to discover more about hostels247.com there is a lot of information still accessible by drop down menus on the bottom of page.

The key feature of the new site is the improved Search box on the pages which channels customers to view all youth hostels and budget accommodation with availability and book quicker and easier.

Here are the quick steps to search for your accommodation and book

1. SEARCH BOX - Enter the Arrival Date, Number of Nights Stay and City you want to visit in the search Box







Use the Drop Down menu to choose the Country or City, or Write the City or Accommodation Name at the bottom of search box

2. AVAILABLE ACCOMMODATION RESULTS- look at the search results all the accommodations at the top with green boxes have availability, the ones closer to the bottom with red boxes are sold out for the selected dates, click on one that you would like to book.



















Here I chose 26 May for 2 nights in New York, all the hostels at the top have two green boxes, this means they are available, the ones at the bottom with red boxes are sold out.

3. CHOSEN ACCOMMODATION DETAILS - The hostels Listing page opens with the availability chart open, choose rooms you want to book, you can see the total and the 10% deposit due to confirm the booking. (on the top of the availability chart there are drop down menus where you can change the arrival date and number of nights stay)



















I have chosen the Tone On Lex Hostel in New York to Book, on the availability chart I have chosen 8 beds in the 10 bed mixed dorm en-suite, the total is $448 and the deposit will be $44.80

4. CONFIRM BOOKING - Click Book Now, you go to the secure booking page, the booking details are on the left and the required Personal and Payment details are on the right, enter all the information and click on Confirm Payment.





















Check your email for the booking confirmation and you’re all done.
