For those of you serious travelers out there, almost everyone has stayed in a multi-bed room hostel.

The following experience maybe funny (to you guys) after the fact, but also illustrates how sometimes budget accommodations are not close to being worth the price.
The following took place recently in Prague- I hope that you enjoy a laugh at my expense.

enjoy!

I do feel for you,i have spent many a night in multi bed dorms in many countries but not for a long long time,thank god i am of an age and finnancial solvency that i can afford my own rooms these days.
I have always thought the silent but deadly farters were the worse room mates.

Stinking drunks in Stockholm boat hostels, vomiting Koreans in Barcelona and loudly snoring people just about everywhere are my hostel nightmare stories - thankfully nowadays most hostels have private rooms, whcih I'll happily pay extra for.

Drunks in a number of hostels, noisy shagging in some other, japanese girls coming in at ungodly hours with HUGE suitcases banging everywhere; partying, not so much (I tend to avoid so-called party-hostels), one flasher creating mayhem once in girls only dorm, evacuation drill once (israeli hostel, long time ago), couple of earthquakes...Snorers, I stopped counting, and never forget my earplugs.

Still liking hostels, to a point.

I sleep with ear plugs every time without fail. Obviously they are not perfect but they block out most noise. It's the movement of bunk beds that have disrupted my sleep on only a handful of occassions. Maybe a new approach to hostel bunk beds is needed akin to the sleeping pods seen in Japan.

I expected much worse given the title.

This is a story of staying in a hostel and being disturbed by loud / drunk guests in a dorm. You can count on that experience, whether you want it or not, pretty much any hostel around the world.

Yes...and coupled with your dispatches from Moscow you're in danger of turning into the Jeremiah of the branch,..time you invested in some ear-plugs like the rest of us...
