Principles for forming hostel names

The names of such points are quite difficult to classify. Owners often rely not on thematic, but on catchy names. Despite this, several main categories of such names can be distinguished, each of which is unique.

Names with the word "hostel". This category is associative, because it directly informs the client about the profile of the enterprise. You can use the same word, but in English - "Hostel". And combining this word with other vocabulary will allow you to create an original name, for example, “Your hostel”, “Da! Hostel”, “Star Wars hostel”.
Names that include the words “house”, “house”, “hotel”, “room” and so on. This category is very similar to the previous one, because they both make direct associations with the activities of the hostel. It all depends on the imagination of the entrepreneur - you can combine these words with others, getting the following interesting options such as, for example, “Anti Dorm”, “ArtHotel”, “Cozy House”.
Other original titles. The vast majority of these names do not have a direct connection with the activities of the hostel, which, however, does not make them obviously losing. These names should be bright and sounding, then the client will definitely remember them, for example, “Indigo”, “Breeze”, “Narcissus”, “Cozy Lawn”, etc.
