Inconsistent utilities are a major inconvenience for new boarders. Electricity load-shedding is common in many cities, and not all hostels have reliable backup systems like generators o r UPS. Water shortages can occur, especially in high-population areas, leading to limited availability during peak hours. Wi-Fi is often slow because many hostels rely on a single connection shared by dozens of users, causing frequent disconnects o r weak signals. Some hostels also charge extra for utilities o r restrict usage, creating additional frustration. These issues arise mainly due to inadequate infrastructure and poor management.
