What is hostel?
I can only assume that it is cross between the words hospitality and hotel.
The hostel is an area of psuedo soundproffing to hang out and relax or hold meetings of the super secret kind. A player books the hostel in advance for a one hour time slot, in much the same way a private ballista field is rented. Upon arival at the designated time can set the entry password, as well as a few other options???

What can i expect?
After entering the password and paying a small few under 500 gil, you are soon greeted by four femme-fatales... no wories none of them were of the short variety. ^^ A box shaped room awaits you and your groupies.

Where is it?
Its located in the lower right hand cornor of Whitegate.

What can i do in here?
1. Craft - this area is almost lag free though rates might vary given number of ppls invited into the area
2. talk
3. eat drink and be merry- ok so alot of this was more reminicante of male bonding rather than intellectual conversation. If you would have wondered in this last time you could have sworn that some serriouse drinking or even Maior smuggled some goods from the opium den into the hostel.

What do i get for about 500?
Well you get to play with nearly 1000k worth of goods. These include costumes foods drinks and fireworks. These are all temp goods very akin to ballista items, and food effects don't follow you out of the hostel, however regen and refresh effects work as per usual so take full advantage of them. Some other fun things are AoE foods which are found in this area. Foods like stew pots and some higher lvl deserts.

You said psuedo-sound proof what do you mean?
Well the original idea was to basicaly create a disconnected area so players could speak freely and really let loose. However severel glitches caused a few player shouts and one player say outside the room to come in. So some fear was generated when i decied it would be appropriate to shout Penis. so exercise some caution.

One last thing. You can reperchase items at 100 gill each. also normal items still function so you can bring in boat loads of fireworks to put on a 4th of july fest or something. food effects can be removed instaniously in here also by talking to one of the hostesses

Overal the experiance was worth the price... check it out ^^

Some other ideas and things.

Maior wants his birthday party hosted in here. Yes its like chucky-cheese except without the arcades. Although you could always play "Wack a Milo"

Great staging or gathering point to finialize stratagies or cool down after an intense event. This was booked prior to Assult today, kinduv a way to lossen up before tackling the challenge. but some other great ideas are to discuss huge LS issues in a formal face to face setting. HNMLS and Die'na'musk planning. Crafting seminars, in maiors case an opium intervension (joking, you'd need have seen the message about a glitch a few days ago) or maybe a black market????.
