// HOSTEL / BACKPACKER PACK

Dorm bunks to communal kitchen.

Hostels, backpackers, capsule hotels, budget accommodation — one procurement file.

The Hostel / Backpacker Pack consolidates the supply lines required to launch or refresh a shared-accommodation business — dorm bunks, individual lockers, communal kitchen and lounges, multi-user bathrooms, reception, security, signage and operational supply. Distinct from the Hotel Pack: communal infrastructure is the primary product, not the exception. Fire-rated bedding and dormitory furniture per BS 7177 / Crib 5.
