Thank you for this valuable info. I am planning a backpacking trip to the UK, Scotland, Ireland next year and have already done much of my homework on looking for hostels. I am an ‘older’ youngster and am looking forward to meeting new friends while on my travels. But I am also hoping to get the required rest at night to re-energize for my next adventure. So I have been really researching on the pros and cons on getting a private room, or going ahead and getting a bunk in a shared room. I love a good time as well as the next person, but I do value my sleep, as well.
