a million ways to say "hotel"

Spanish is not a complicated language grammatically or pronunciation-wise. However, it does have some interesting tidbits with it's vocabulary. For instance, there are a few different ways to say "hotel" that all imply different levels of hotel-ness. 

hotel	hotel as you could canonically think of it price range: could be anything really... but usually not less than 40 euros a night
hostal	bed and breakfast - usually a family-owned business (think one-star hotel) price range: on average 20 euros a night and you most likely can get a private bathroom too
hostel	hostel as you would think of it - it's actually the English word price range: 20 euros a night but if you're lucky you can get it cheaper for a bunk in a shared room with a shared bathroom
pensión	bed and breakfast that's of slightly lower quality than a hostal price range: 25 euros a night usually, but is dirtier than a hostal and might not have a private bathroom
albergue juvenil	youth hostel - there are lots of 16-year olds staying here price range: depends on the location, and ranges from 10-25  euros/night for a bunk in a shared room with a shared bathroom
