People who have never stayed in hostels have this impression of them that they arent safe. It must come from the fact that they are cheaper than hotels and everyones stuff is in the same room. So the question is… are hostels safe?

The answer is simple, YES. If youre like me, I leave all my stuff out when I stay in a hostel. I rarely use the locker. I say the same thing to anyone who asks me, “everyone is in the same boat”. Why would you steal from someone who is staying in the same dorm as you? For whatever reason we were all put together in the same dorm. We should all be on the same wavelength. Whether its travelling alone or with friends, the aim is to meet new people and enjoy the city.

The only advice I can give you is look after your passport and use your common sense. Happy travelling.
