If you decide to open your own hostel, but cannot find a suitable name, the examples below, as well as a classification of the main naming strategies will help you choose the best option. Thus, this article outlines the basic principles of creating bright and memorable brands for hostels, and also provides many examples of names of mini-hotels throughout Russia.
Principles for constructing hostel names
The brands under which mini-hotels so popular among tourists usually operate are difficult to classify. However, this does not mean that hostel names are formed chaotically, without any strategies. The basic principles for forming the names of such institutions are described in detail below.
- Names with direct occurrence of the word “hostel”. First of all, it is worth noting that the owners of mini-hotels use both Russian names, for example “My Hostel” and “Hostels-Rus”, and variants in Latin, for example, “Arena Hostel” and “Interhostel”. Moreover, the latter do not necessarily have to be of foreign origin; some of them are simply transliterations of Russian words. This method allows you to generate interesting options, such as, for example, “Yes! Hostel", "Hostel Bolshoi", etc. However, the name does not necessarily have to be associated with rental housing. Owners of mini-hotels can combine any vocabulary, getting very original options, such as “Oh So Indie Hostel” or “Star Wars hostel”.
- Names that include the words “house”, “house”, “hotel”, “room”, etc.. This category of names is also very common. As in the previous case, it all depends on the owner’s imagination - by combining the above words with other vocabulary, you can get bright and interesting names, such as, for example, “AntiDorm”, “Uprav-dom.com”, or more laconic names, for example “Academic Dormitory” or “Economy Class Hotel”. As a rule, the latter are descriptive in nature and attract a certain category of clients seeking, first of all, to save on overnight accommodation.
- Other, original titles. This category unites the largest number of items. They can be completely different - either related to the activities of mini-hotels or have nothing to do with it. Titles such as “Come & Sleep”, “Come & Go” or “Mr. Guest” evoke potential clients direct associations with the type of services provided in the mini-hotel, while the names “Anchor”, “Phoenix”, “Indigo”, etc. are in no way related to the activities of hostels. However, thanks to their brightness, the latter can also become recognizable brands and attract tourists from around the world.
