Hallways, The First Social Network For Hostels, Launches iOS And Android Apps

LONDON - Sept. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Hallways today announced the launch of its mobile apps for iOS and Android. Travelers worldwide can now check into any hostel in Europe by downloading the Hallways app on their iPhone, iPad, or Android device (phone or tablet).

Hallways (http://www.hallwaysapp.com) is the first ever social network for hostels. Using Hallways, backpackers can connect with fellow guests at their hostel, join events in their hostel and city, and create their own events for other guests to join. The new apps for iOS and Android let travelers check in to any hostel in Europe, before they even arrive.

"Backpackers have two main questions about their hostel: who's here, and what's going on?" said Hallways CEO Benjamin Moshe. "The Hallways app lets guests answer both of those questions, before they even arrive, and get the most out of every leg of their travels."

Hallways currently supports over 3,000 hostels in Europe, with worldwide expansion planned for later this year. The company partners directly with hostels who post their events and message back and forth with guests, creating a seamless, social hostel experience.

"We've had an incredibly enthusiastic response from both travelers and hostels," said Moshe. "Hostels are the most social places on earth, and Hallways gives both guests and hostel managers the app they deserve."

About Hostels

Hostels are the accommodation of choice for the 93 million young travelers who visit Europe each year - not just because they’re cheap, but because they’re perhaps the most social places on earth. Hostel guests are looking specifically to meet other travelers and go out on the town, and leading hostels feature large, open common rooms, and a full slate of daily events and parties.
