    I'd really not like it. And a whole weekend? If it was me, I'd politely decline.

    Until a couple of years ago I would have said I'd hate it. But then I went to a 50th Birthday party with some friends at a youth hostel in Wales that was an old castle. Yes, the rooms were small dorms but we had such a great time, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. One thing though, I'd make sure everyone over a certain age has lower bunk beds. Getting out of a top bunk to nip to the loo in the middle of the night after a few drinks proved a little challenging for some people in our group!

    I think it's a lovely and pragmatic idea.

    This way, a cheerful and economical option is available, and anyone not wanting to participate in the whole "package" for personal/other-commitment reasons has the option of simply opting out or spending more. You can't really reasonably do more than that.

    It sounds like my worst nightmare tbh, but each to their own:D
