Bed search — arrive, leave, beds and room type in a compact card that works as a plain GET form without JavaScript.A hostel WordPress theme with a bed picker and events board: Hostelia
Last updated
A hostel has one job online: help a half-decided traveller turn into a request for a bed, and then make the evening sound worth showing up for. That means answers (which bed, who shares the room, what it costs for my nights) and a social proof on the first screen. DEV3 Hostelia is a WordPress theme built for exactly that, with real photography instead of effects and every page editable in Elementor.
Who Hostelia is for
- Hostels and backpacker lodges with dorms and a few private rooms.
- Social guesthouses that run a weekly programme of dinners, quizzes and tours.
- Small groups of hostels that want one calm, independent look instead of a marketplace one.
A bed-type picker that shows the price
Guests pick a dorm size or a private room from radio cards, then add the arrival date, nights and beds. A live total shows beds times paid nights times the rate, plus the city tax, and applies a long-stay deal you set in the Customizer.
It is a plain form, so it works without JavaScript and opens the booking page with the choice filled in.
A weekly events board
Each event stores a day and a time. The board shows seven day columns sorted by time, and marks today in the browser so cached pages never go stale. On phones the days stack as rows.
Rooms that answer the questions
The Rooms page has a filter column for dates, beds, room type and price, filtered on the server. Each room shows the bed type, bathroom, lockers, seasonal rates per bed and a three-month availability calendar.
Tours, a city guide and groups
Tours have a meeting point, group size and what to bring. The city guide is a set of normal posts, and a group form handles ten beds or more.
A small shop
Gift cards, tour tickets and merch use the themed WooCommerce shop with a slide-out mini cart.
Built for editing
Every demo page is built in Elementor with the DEV3 Theme Toolkit widgets, and 34 block patterns cover the same sections for the block editor. On a phone the layout stacks into one column, and the picker turns into compact cards.
The demo is fictional: the hostel, crew, guests, prices and events are samples, and the photos are free-licence stock images listed in the credits file.
