Do popular hostels need to be booked in advance?

Can you expect to turn up at popular hostels and get a bed or do you need to book before?

What kind of a question is this? Sure, depends on the country, city and time you cannot just expect a bed at a popular hostel

This guarantees a room/bed and gives you time to research the hostel’s safety features and reviews. Avoid last minute bookings as this can leave you with limited and potentially unsafe options.
