European Hostel Snoring?

Question

I snore like a mad man, should I be worried about getting kicked out of european hostel? I will be staying in a few hostels in Amsterdam, Paris, and London in August.

I am wondering if anyone knows any trouble I will run into, Thx.

Answer 1

So do I.  Apparently, travelling to Europe made it worse.  My son and husband complained so loudly that I had to get Breathe Right strips, which, thankfully, are available in Europe!  (just get some, and use them...you'll at least snore more softly.)

Answer 2

Yep - you should try 'Slumber Guard".

Nasal Strips only work for nasal passage restriction.  alot of snoring comes from the throat instead.

The Slumber Guard holds the lower jaw in a forward position in order to keep the throat airways open.

Answer 3

Don't worry about it.  You'll be surprised by how many people snore.  And the ones who complain the most are usually the loudest snorers!  Anyone planning to stay in a hostel should be prepared to take earplugs with them.   So go and enjoy your holiday, and forget about things like this.

Answer 4

Don't worry about a thing! I stayed in one in Berlin and people were running through every night drunk and screaming at the top of their lungs. Everyone is used to it.

Answer 5

I only snore when having a cold, but when traveling I often pick up a cold.

Mostly people do not mind snoring, they may wake you up if it is too bad.

But I have had one hostel where one of the other guests was getting up, with a lot of noise and full lights on at 4 in the morning, so the other people in the dorm where also fully awake.

(They had heard me snore but understood that I did not do it on purpose, this one women had been a pain in the places better not mentioned from the moment she arrived.)

But I have started to book single rooms more often since, specially when I am starting to snore again.

That might be an option for you too.
