What is the difference between a hotal and a hostel?
? A: The Indy Hostel is warm and inviting and has great character. Our private rooms are private just like a hotel; however we also offer dorm beds which are semi-private. Some of our bathrooms are shared between rooms especially in the case of the dorm rooms. We have many common areas and facilities for our guests to share including a fully equipped kitchen, an internet library and a media room. Hotels sometimes come across as sterile and impersonal. The Indy Hostel offers an interesting alternative lodging option so you can really get to know Indianapolis.
