How big are the storage lockers at hostels?

Question

I'm going to Barcelona and Venice in the next few weeks and will be staying at hostels at both cities. It's my first time going to Europe or staying at a hostel and I'm not familiar with what to expect. Would a rectangular tote with wheels, about the size of a carry-on, be too big for the stoarage lockers at a hostel?

Answer 1

Your "carry on" size" bag should be fine. Hostels are each different but virtually all have storage rooms or lockers and since the vast majority of hostel travellers have big backpacks, your smaller bag should be no problem. You should also look for storage options when you book your hostels online in their "facilities" section. Enjoy your trip!

Answer 2

I've seen many different kinds of lockers in hostels so you'd better call or mail them and ask. If not, you can always try the lockers at train stations. They'll be more expensive but much bigger too (opens from 5:30 to 23:00)
