How to Name Your Hostel
It’s hard to believe, but naming your business is probably one of the most important tasks you’ll ever undertake as an entrepreneur. The name of your business will represent everything that you and your team have worked on for months or years. It will also be the first thing people see when they visit your website and the first words on your company’s letterhead. Here I will give some pointers on how to choose a name for your hostel.
1. Think about what you want the name to convey.
Your branding is a big part of your business, which is why it makes sense to think about it from the start. What message does the name have to convey about your business? If you are considering a name that is based on a word that you can’t really be sure what it means you should probably avoid it.
Convey something meaningful and positive related to your business such as core value of your business.

2. Brainstorm some possible hostel names.
Don’t just jump straight into a name. You need to have some cool hostel name ideas in your pocket before you go any further. If you don’t have any ideas, then you can do a Google search to find some examples that you like. Once you have some initial ideas then you can make notes on them, and you can start coming up with some more ideas.
Here are some best possible hostel name ideas:
- Luxury Bamboo Hostel
- Budget Backpackers
- Noob Hostel
- Superbude St Pauli
- Tikuhut Hostel
- Lollis Homestay
- Okori Hostel Pucón
- Sakura Hostel
- Planet Traveler
3. Pick a memorable name.
You’ll want to consider how easy it is for people to remember your hostel name. Having said that, it is always a good idea to choose a name that is easy to spell and pronounce. If your customers don’t know how to pronounce the name, they will be less likely to remember it. Won’t it be free marketing if your customers easily remember your business name and can suggest it to their friends and family members?
The companies you admire typically have names that are short, simple, easy to write and easy to remember — Apple, Tesla, Virgin.

4. Choose a name that can grow with your business.
You want to choose a name that won’t be outdated in a few years. It should also be able to grow with your business. If you know that you will be offering more products and services in the future, your name should be able to expand and contract as your business does.
Picking too narrow of a name may cause you problems down the road. Imagine if Jeff Bezos had picked the name “OnlineBooks” instead of “Amazon.”

5. Make sure your hostel name does not sound too similar to existing businesses.
Your business name must be unique. If it is too similar to an existing business name, it could be hard for your customers to differentiate. It might also get you into legal troubles.

6. Avoid using acronyms.
Don’t use acronyms as your company name. This will make it harder for you to put your brand in customers’ minds. So, most of your efforts will be in vain.

7. Leave your name out of your business.
It isn’t practical to use your name as a business name. Your name is used for your personal identity. Use a different name for your business.
Your name doesn’t communicate anything about your business and won’t mean much to potential customers. This may even cause problems if you ever want to sell your business in future or even if you wish to expand.

8. Be sure your hostel name is not too long.
If the name is too long it will be difficult for people to remember. Some people have trouble remembering the names of their friends. So, if it is too long it might not be easy to remember. Think about how your customers will see your hostel name in the marketplace.
