Why Does Streetwise Lodge Have an Entrance Fee?

Streetwise Lodge has an entrance fee to ensure we can maintain a high level of quality and service while keeping our base accommodation prices as low as possible. We understand that budget travelers are looking for the best value, and this fee allows us to strike a balance between affordability and a comfortable, safe experience. The fee helps us cover essential operating costs that might otherwise be included in a higher room rate, such as security, maintenance, and utilities for common areas. For example, the fee allows us to invest in reliable security systems, ensuring a safe environment for all our guests. It also allows us to proactively perform maintenance. This proactive approach prevents problems from arising during your stay. This also reflects in our commitment to providing quality and we want everyone to enjoy staying with us at our low prices.

Understanding the Breakdown: What’s Included?

The entrance fee is carefully allocated to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. It’s not just an arbitrary charge; it directly supports the following:

• Security and Safety: 24/7 security personnel, CCTV surveillance, and secure access control. We invest approximately 15% of the entrance fee revenue in security measures annually.
• Maintenance and Upkeep: Regular cleaning of common areas, landscaping, and repairs to facilities. This accounts for about 25% of the allocated funds.
• Utilities: Water, electricity, and gas for common areas like the kitchen, lounge, and bathrooms (approximately 20%).
• Staffing: Salaries for reception staff and cleaning staff, ensuring you have friendly and helpful assistance throughout your stay (around 30%).
• Wi-Fi and Internet Access: High-speed internet access throughout the lodge, allowing you to stay connected (approximately 10%).

Comparing Streetwise Lodge’s Pricing Model to Other Options

When comparing Streetwise Lodge to other budget accommodation options, it’s important to consider the overall value you receive. While some hostels or guesthouses might advertise lower base rates, they often cut corners on essential amenities and services.

Here’s a comparison:

Feature	Streetwise Lodge (with Entrance Fee)	Budget Hotel	Hostel
Base Price (avg)	\$20	\$30	\$15
Entrance Fee	\$5	\$0	\$0
Security	24/7 Security	Limited	Limited
Wi-Fi	High-Speed	Included	Often Limited
Maintenance	Regular	Limited	Irregular
Common Areas	Clean & Well-Maintained	Basic	Often Crowded
Total Cost	\$25	\$30	\$15
**Value Score***	9/10	7/10	5/10

*Value Score is a subjective assessment of overall value based on price and amenities.

As you can see, while the hostel has a lower base price, the lack of amenities and potential compromises on safety can reduce the overall value. The budget hotel may not always offer the same sense of community or budget-friendly options such as a communal kitchen, which you can find more about on websites such as Hostel World.

We believe our transparent pricing model offers the best of both worlds: affordability and a comfortable, secure stay which is echoed by Booking.com, and also supported by TripAdvisor.
