Hostels can be regarded as the second home for students when they stay away from their homestate or home country. A hostel is usually made of different blocks of buildings which contain hundreds of double or triple rooms and is usually located besides the school premises. It is the duty of hostel management to provide clean and comfort accommodation for students. (Wan,

2.6.1 - Existing Hostel Management Systems (NonComputerised)
During the earlier years of hostel management, the manual system was the only way to manage a hostel (many hostels nowadays are still using the manual system). A manual system involves the use of paperwork or notebooks and direct human language communication by oral to manage the hostel. The first step is to book a room through phone call or through walk-in registration. The details of the guest's data such as name, age, nationality, etc are noted down during registration, then the hostel staff shall arrange an accordingly room to the guest before his or her check-in date and the room key should be provided. The documents are then transferred manually to the filling department for compilation of the customer’s file, and this file will be checked by the hostel

2.7 - Conclusion
Hostel Management System or HMS had started to be developed since 1912 for hostel managers around the globe. The transformation from the old and inefficient non-computerised management system to today’s computerised management system had took around 100 years of exploration and application accompanied by the rocketing advancement of the computer technology. With technologies that are available today, our civilisation has developed extremely advanced hostel management systems as well as database systems such as the varieties of Database
Management System (DBMS) for instance, Document-Oriented Database System, Embedded
Database System, Operational Database System and so on. Other than that, hostel management system has also been developed into two forms that are the web-based version of hostel management system or Web-based Hostel Management System and Offline Hostel Management
System which both has managed to exponentially increase the efficiency of hostel management as well as saving tonnes of time over the past century that cannot possibly be
There are three distinct classes of houses in the tenement-houses; the cheapest is the attic home. Three rooms is next and is usually for very poor people. The vast majority of respectable working people live in four rooms. Each of these classes reflects the needs and resources of the renters in that the attic home, for example, is generally one small room and is usually rented out by a lonely elderly person with not much money. Three rooms generally consist of a kitchen and two dark bedrooms and are usually rented out to very poor people who have a family. Four rooms generally consist of a kitchen, two dark bedrooms, and a parlor and are usually rented out by respectable, hard working families.
Homes are normally based on a solitary level with an edge rooftop. Houses in the more swarmed urban communities frequently have two or more stories and mirror an European impact. A great many people lived in single-family homes until the relocation to urban focuses in the late 1940’s and mid 1950’s. The requirement for satisfactory lodging induced the legislature to put resources into high-masses of open lodging activities amid the mid 1950’s. In the poorer territories, huge families live in little houses developed from ash squares and secured with an adobe made of mud, bovine compost, and
At St. Ambrose University, the housing is mainly two bedrooms sharing one bathroom, instead of a communal bathroom. Private universities are mainly about giving a safe and supportive community that each resident can feel comfortable enough in to thrive. On top of the great housing, there are resident hall activities like volunteering. There are also over fifty clubs and after class activities available at St. Ambrose. There are academic, cultural, recreational and even more types of clubs and class activities available. St. Ambrose does its best to provide a home, away from home.

The vast majority of these units are similar to as expansive as flats; truth be told, they are extremely practically identical to townhouses. Units range in size anyplace from studios or singles to two, three and four rooms. For studios, the rooms all the more nearly look like a customary inn room. On the other hand, there are still more facilities, for example, a cooler and kitchen. The bigger units can undoubtedly fit an expansive family, with space for a few youngsters to appreciate the space without feeling cramped.
The dorms belonging to the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca are no strangers to some degree of scandal. There have been many cases of abuse of power signaled by the students throughout the years in regarding the dorm regulations as well as the placement of some people who do not qualify to be assigned to a dorm with a higher degree of comfort.
Are international students better off living with host families, rather than living the standard college dorm life? Students who study abroad have the same opportunity as domestic students to either live in the dormitories or rent their own apartment. Host families provide several benefits to students, allowing them to improve their fluency in the native language, find more readily accessible outlets for entertainment, and achieve an increased sense of convenience in their living space.
The reason why the researcher has to choose the staff and guest as the interviewee, it is because they have the experience to use the self-service technology in the hospitality industry. It is more efficient for the researcher to receive accurate data.
A crisp, new red brick accommodation block, the Fenner Building designed by TTC architects, was built on adjoining land to the side of the university cricket ground. This impressive building looks like a grandstand full of hospitality boxes and was completed 2004. The land was sold to Hughes by the university in order to raise money to fund the cricket school. This new structure offers the comforts of an impressive combination room with agreeable armchairs and daily news papers. It also provided a new dining hall which now has an enviable reputation for the quality of its food. Formal Halls are regular with frequent ‘exchange halls’ with other colleges.
Hospitality is the relation between the guest and host, or the act or the practice of being hospitable. This includes the reception, entertainment and generally looking after the guests, visitors or strangers. The word hospitality is derived from the Latin hospes which means “host”, “guest”, or “stranger”. Hospes is formed from hostis which means stranger. Today in many areas hospitality has developed in various ways, no two ways of hospitality are the same such as in India the term atithi devo bhava is used and guest is considered god like and we are told to respect them as such by touching their feet, in other countries such as the western people prefer a handshake and hospitality is more formal. This is one of the few industries that are directly involved with serving its customers in many significant areas for their wellness that are eating, drinking and sleeping which are some of the most important needs of an individual that a hospitality professional looks after, these are basic things we can provide but the times are changing we are in the 21st century now and the hospitality industry has as any industry been heavily impacted by it. Technology today has completely changed the industry which is why it is important to see which sectors have been affected, where many things have been changed and a new generation of professionals has emerged, which understands it and continues to expand it. This project has given me a new insight into the types of technology that are emerging to improve not only the experience of the guest but also the employees in this industry and their employers. This is why I have chosen five technologies which vary in functioning and development the technologies are Global Positioning Sys...

Over the past hundred years management has continuously been evolving. There have been a wide range of approaches in how to deal with management or better yet how to improve management functions in our ever changing environment. From as early as 1100 B.C managers have been struggling with the same issues and problems that manager’s face today. Modern managers use many of the practices, principles, and techniques developed from earlier concepts and experiences.
-“Sense of Place” philosophy- each hotel has a local character and culture of the given location. Architecture and history in implemented in each individual hotel which is very different approach than chain-like competitors. This was a power tool that Rosewood had!
Maintainability – different forms of the hotel’s products should be easy to maintain, easy to upgrade with new technology from time to time.
The most important thing to do when we want to find a nice room, I thought, was that to correct as much information as I can. Therefore, what I did at first is to check every public board not to miss any information that says, ?gRoommates wanted?h,?h Room for Rent?h or ?gHouse for rent?h. I searched the board in Business Building, EJCH, JTSU, and Main library. However, I could not many of them and if luckily I found these were not so cheap or too far from UNR. Then I started to search the room list at Student Residency Service office. There I found one room five minutes from school on foot. I went back to the dorm I live now in a hurry and called, it was my first phone call to person from other country. The call rang, but no one answer. I waited for a while, then the massage started saying ?hThis number is no longer valid?cplease call XXX-XXXX?h. A short tense atmosphere ended, and I felt relieved. I called the new number, but I could not talk to anyone.
