In some cities, hostels reported a higher average income per room than hotels. For example, in Honolulu, Hawaii, upscale hotels reported average daily room rates of $173 in 2006, while hostel rooms brought in as much as $200 per night, for rooms of 8 guests paying $25 each.[18] Even during the financial crisis of 2007–2008, many hostels reported increased occupancy numbers in a time when hotel bookings are down.[19][20]
