Not wanting to go on a girls weekend if sharing a hotel room?

[pinkgirls]

I've been invited on a 3 night long weekend break.
With a friend and 2 of her friends.
Thing is it's all of us in one room with bunkbeds.
They want cheap and cheerful and this is where they picked.
Room looks tiny
I like my own space and for 3 nights it seems like hell.
Would anyone else be put off too ?

I do this a lot with a walking group. Sometimes I don’t know the people I’m sharing with. It’s never bothered me at all, and I like alone time. Bunks offer more privacy than ordinary beds. The etiquette is, if you’re a snorer, you bring earplugs for everyone else. A sleep mask helps too, if other people are looking at phones, or reading with their bunk light on.

I would be happy sharing a double with a friend (not in a sexual way) but draw the line at having a bunk bed.

l co-sleep with some good friends sometime anyway, l’m comfortable with that. My bed is a “friendship bed” but that does not mean a wild lesbian orgy.

I’d absolutely be put off - I’m long past that sort of sleeping arrangement.
I share only with dh, or if necessary with a dd or a Gdc.

YANBU I wouldn’t want to share with people I don’t know well, even with good friends I wouldn’t be totally comfortable

I enjoy sharing a twin with someone, but that's as far as it goes, and it'd have to be a nice twin, not some bunks in a youth hostel.

I'm not bothered but I stay in hostels on holiday a lot anyway and I'm a long-distance hiker so I often stay in mountain huts with lots of people lying on a mattrass in one big room.
However, if you don't like it I can completely understand that and I think you should see if the hostel has rooms. I recently stayed in one for a week and I booked one of their small single rooms. Or have a look at where it is and see if there is a hotel nearby you could stay at.

No way! I detest sharing with anyone other than dh. I would share for a single night with my sister but longer than that & I'd want my own room.

I will not share with friends. I am a poor sleeper & cannot relax with another person in the room (except dh)

I also want my own bathroom. I hate sharing tiny hotel bathrooms & I love to get back to my room after a great day / night out & flake out on the bed & fart if I feel like it or sleep naked & go for a wee without having to get dressed & poo whenever I want. I find all that difficult when sharing with friends

I'm happy to pay more to have me own space

Can you still go and suggest a room of your own? Say something like "oh I snore terribly" wouldnt want to keep you girls up!

I don’t go anywhere if I don’t have my own room.

I just wouldn't sleep and that wouldn't work out well, for anybody. I have a reasonable veneer of social skills but become quite objectionable when tired or hungry.

Not for me now I'm in my 50s I like my own room and space unless I'm sharing with my kids- used to share rooms with friends til mid 40s but I definitely wouldn't have wanted a hostel bunk bed sharing (did that in my 20s backpacking)

Just get some good silicone earplugs and a good quality eye mask.

Not a chance. Bunk beds are awful. Sharing a room is shit too. It's just about okay if it's nice room with a good friend, but a shit room with four of you for three days. No way.

Not a chance I'd be doing that - I don't mind sharing a hotel room with a good friend but no way at my age and stage in life would I be bunking down in a hostel. I've done my fair share of the super cheap and cheerful but I like my own space and home comforts too much now

Absolute deal breaker for me. I have one friend I will share a room with and that’s because I know she doesn’t snore and she’s not put off by the fact I only sleep in a singlet and undies. Bunk beds with 2 people I don’t know? Absolutely not 🤣

I'm touchy about my space nowadays.

Still go but perhaps book your own room at a hotel if affordable?

I would be absolutely fine sharing a room with friends. A bed even.

I would absolutely refuse on the basis of it being in a hostel.

What are the rest of the facilities like?
Is it a posh hostel type place?

I wouldn’t be keen. I’d share with one other person in a proper hotel room tho.
i’m too old for bunk beds.

Yeah, this would be a hell no for me.

Life's hard enough without a weekend of zero sleep or time to yourself.

I'd book another room or not go.

I’m nearly 50 and it wouldn’t bother me with friends or even acquaintances. I feel too old to sleep in a dorm with strangers now though.

I wouldn’t go either. I would suck it up for 1 night but definitely not 3 especially with 2 other people who I didn’t know too well. Actually just realised its in a hostel in that case probably a no from me.

I don’t even share a room with my sister when we go away 😂 not a chance in hell would I be doing this

God no!

When I holiday with friends they know I and another lady nèd a single room. I snore and need the loo a lot and have trouble sleeping

I need my own room. If there was no other accommodation I'd not go
