Recently, new hostels with designer finishes have become popular in the country. Such innovative and trendy mini-hotels are called poshtelas. The name is derived from the English word which means chic. That is, such hotels combine the simple functions of a familiar hostel and chic elements of expensiveness.

The new type of accommodation falls between expensive hotels and hostels in terms of pricing (for more information, see https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB).

Accommodation here will cost less than in a five-star hotel, but twice as much as in a standard eight-bed or six-bed room in an economy hotel. Poshtelas have standard rooms, like luxury hotels, as well as multi-bed rooms. They offer their visitors quality service at a high level. The rooms have high noise insulation, free Wi-Fi, mini-bar, restaurants are provided. There are beautiful and comfortable living rooms, where you can relax, read a book, watch TV or communicate with other guests. In such places you can often meet interesting people who travel around the world and learn many curious facts about different countries. There is an opportunity to practice your knowledge of foreign languages. The premises have a modern interior and design, which attracts foreign tourists and lovers of aesthetic beauty.

History of origin

.
Luxury hostels first appeared in Spain a few years ago. It was the Spanish tourist industry that introduced this new concept. There they began to design rooms with original interiors and have all the amenities not on the floor, but in the room, as in the best world hotels. But the Spaniards retained a feature characteristic of dormitories — a common living room on the first floor, where all guests gather. They are furnished in a homely way: with a large plasma, board games and books. It is considered prestigious to have your own library, where everyone could choose an interesting novel and spend a cozy evening with it.

Initially, the idea of creating such an alternative type of housing was born to attract tourists and change the generally accepted ideas about hostels. After all, people are accustomed to consider them low-quality, with not very comfortable living conditions and affordable prices. Hostels are often located in publicly significant places. Historical buildings, unusual architecture, design — these are the differences of the novelty. A magical, unforgettable, inexpressible atmosphere of home warmth and comfort is created. Living in such a place for a long time is memorable and leaves pleasant impressions. Such buildings will appear very soon in all major cities of the country. Some standard buildings are redesigning their design and expanding their services.

Perhaps, in the near future, the familiar to us hostel in Lviv or Kiev will be transformed and will invite tourists to their homes in an updated form.

Where to see

In Ukraine, such a new trend is only gaining momentum and popularity. Few people have heard about it. But in the countries of the near abroad before the World Cup are in full swing building and working poshtela.

Europe has long been home to the favorite places of travelers, where they gladly return. In Barcelona there is an atmospheric place, which is written about in many guidebooks. On the sites offering housing of different categories, such buildings are beginning to appear, they attract travelers with uniqueness, convenience and reasonable prices.

In Bulgaria, too, they are gaining popularity and more and more are opening new objects. Each of them tries to come up with its own special, memorable chip. For example, all furniture is made by hand. Furnish the room in the spirit of some historical era, emphasize the style with antique objects, add luster with old photos, manuscripts, books. Each owner embodies his ideas and fantasies. The more unusual the place is, the more attractive it is to foreigners.

Each person chooses for himself the most comfortable living conditions. At the moment, the choice of places where you can stay for a few days is plentiful. Someone is an adherent of the classics, and settles only in ordinary hotels, someone prefers hostel type of accommodation, here more often settle young people who travel without special means and like to socialize. Everywhere there are pros and cons. The main thing in the choice is to focus on individual preferences and comfort. But innovations in the hotel business will not leave anyone indifferent. Many will want to see what it is and experience the atmosphere of creativity and relaxation.
