Accommodations usually make up a big portion of your budget, therefore choosing a right accommodation at a right place is important. Youth hostels are good places to start with; they are usually located at popular attractions and often provide facilities like common kitchenette, laundry, mess room and reasonably clean dorms. Youth hostels are also good places to meet travellers; you probably meet travellers all over the world but belong to the same age group. This is the best time to learn and exchange travelling information.

Bed and Breakfast are usually more expensive than hostels, unlike hostels, B&B provide rooms instead of dorms and always a breakfast in the next morning. Be sure to tell the owner that you are a student (if you are one), and ask for a discount, you never know, you might just get one.
