TRAVEL UPDATE - JULY 2021
All our hostels are now open
Dear Flying Pig customer,
Given the effects of COVID-19, we will be adopting new measures throughout all of our hostels in order to preserve the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene, as well as implementing new operational procedures to include reduced occupancy in dorm rooms and shared bathrooms, ensuring we can cater for the correct level of social distancing, delivering a safe environment for both our customers and teams.
To be proactive in avoiding the spread of the virus, we are encouraging guests to always monitor local government travel advice and avoid travelling if they experience sickness symptoms in the weeks prior to their visit.
To ensure that personal contact is kept to a minimum, we are inviting guests to share check in details ahead of arrival. We will be encouraging all guests to pay cashless where possible. We are also working on a new check in online program for all individual and group travellers and will update you on progress.
To encourage good hygiene practices, deep cleaning throughout our hostels has been increased in line with the standards recommended by local authorities. All surfaces, private and public areas will be cleaned thoroughly and disinfected frequently.
To avoid transmission of the virus between individuals, face masks and other hygiene products will be available to purchase from receptions or vending machines.
Breakfast buffets will no longer be provided, and instead breakfast will be served to you directly.
We are accepting bookings for all dates from June, and free cancellation up to 24 hours until the end of 2021 if affected by travel restrictions - to provide the most confidence and flexibility when making your booking.
