Hostal
Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOS : Hostal
Hostal is a spanish word for a category of lodging. Hostales tend to be somewhat nicer than youth hostels but cheaper than hotels. Accommodations typically include a private bedroom with a sink, and linens are usually provided. Guests may share a common bathroom. Hostales are common in Spain and may also be found in Mexico, Central and South America. They are often family-run and may provide a friendlier and less formal atmosphere than a hotel.
