Will My Stuff Get Stolen In A Hostel?
Things rarely get stolen as travelers that frequent hostels are mostly backpackers, all with the same concerns. Also, hostels have rooms and lockers for baggage and personal items that you can easily use to secure your things - usually you'll have to bring your own physical lock.
Do hostels have locks?
Not all hostels provide lockers, but the ones that do usually expect guests to bring their own lock (some hostels sell locks at reception). You can find hostels that have lockers by filtering your search on Hostelworld.com. There are two main types of locks that work on hostel lockers - padlocks and cable locks.
