Thanks for posting the news about the non-B&B trial, those three hostels sound like a reasonable cross-section of current B&B hostels, let's see what happens! Karl, name corrected – sorry ’bout that.

I want to reassure you that flexible pricing will mean that the overnight price remains highly competative. Comparing before and after will be impossible, but I expect the rack rate overnight price will be lower than it would have been if breakfast had been included in the price. Breakfast charges will continue to be very attractive, especially when you compare YHA to others in the budget accomodation sector. I can’t win can I!

Such a move could be easily hidden under flexible pricing! I hope this does not mean keeping the price as it is now and charging extra for the breakfast!

These Youth Hostels will be carefully monitored for three months. The findings will be reported to the Board to assess what may/may not happen to the remaining 26 B+B inclusive YHA sites. It proves YHA is listening to feedback from guests. Thanks for your continued support. P.S my name is 'Karl' and not 'Carl' - I'm sensitive to these things you know! he he he.

One of the hostels that's dropped B&B is St Pancras - one of the hostels without an s/c kitchen. You might need to rephrase that first paragraph.
