When you travel, you need a place to sleep! In Spanish, the verb for staying in a hotel or other temporary accommodation is hospedarse. You use it when you are a guest somewhere. It's a very practical word for travelers. So, when you say "I'm staying in a hotel," you would use hospedarse.
When you're traveling and need a place to sleep, you'll want to use the verb hospedarse. It literally means 'to lodge oneself' or 'to stay as a guest'. This isn't just for hotels; you can hospedarse in an Airbnb, a hostel, or even at a friend's house if you're thinking of it as temporary lodging. Think of it as a more specific way to say 'stay' when referring to accommodation.

§ What "Hospedarse" Means and When to Use It
- Definition
- To stay as a guest in a hotel or other accommodation.
Alright, let's get straight to it. When you're traveling in Spanish-speaking countries, or even just talking about travel, you're going to hear and use the verb hospedarse a lot. It's a key word for anyone discussing where they're staying. Think of it as the go-to verb for 'to stay' when you're referring to temporary lodging – specifically, as a guest.
It's not just about hotels, either. While it's perfect for saying you're staying in a hotel, it also works for hostels, guesthouses, Airbnb rentals, or even staying with friends or family when you're essentially being hosted. The core idea is that you are a guest, receiving lodging, even if you're paying for it.
So, when do people use it? You'll use hospedarse any time you want to talk about where you or someone else is staying during a trip, vacation, or temporary visit. It's especially common when making plans, recounting travel experiences, or asking others about their accommodation.
Nos vamos a hospedar en un hotel céntrico.
Hint: We are going to stay in a downtown hotel.
Notice how it's a reflexive verb (ending in -se). This is important because it means 'to host oneself' or 'to be hosted.' You'll always use it with a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se). Don't forget that!
¿Dónde te hospedas cuando viajas?
Hint: Where do you stay when you travel?
You might be thinking, "Can't I just use quedarse or alojarse?" Good question. While there's some overlap, hospedarse is specifically about temporary accommodation as a guest. Quedarse is more general – it can mean 'to stay' in a broader sense (e.g., 'to stay home,' 'to stay put'). Alojarse is very similar to hospedarse and can often be used interchangeably, but hospedarse carries a slightly stronger nuance of being hosted.
Here are some common scenarios where you'd definitely use hospedarse:
- Talking about your travel plans: "Me voy a hospedar en Madrid por una semana." (I'm going to stay in Madrid for a week.)
- Asking someone about their accommodation: "¿Se hospedan en un hotel o en un apartamento?" (Are you staying in a hotel or an apartment?)
- Describing past travel: "Nos hospedamos en un hostal muy bonito en Sevilla." (We stayed in a very nice hostel in Seville.)
- When a place offers accommodation: "Este parador ofrece dónde hospedarse a los visitantes." (This inn offers accommodation to visitors.)
Getting comfortable with hospedarse will make your Spanish sound much more natural when discussing travel and lodging. Practice using it with the correct reflexive pronouns, and you'll be booking your imaginary (or real!) trips with confidence in no time.
§ Similar words and when to use this one vs alternatives
When you're talking about staying somewhere, especially when traveling, a few Spanish verbs might come to mind. It's important to know the nuances to pick the right one. Let's break down 'hospedarse' and its common alternatives.
- DEFINITION
- To stay as a guest in a hotel or other accommodation.
'Hospedarse' specifically implies staying in a place that offers lodging, like a hotel, hostel, guesthouse, or even a friend's house where you are considered a guest. It emphasizes the act of being hosted. Think of it as 'to lodge oneself' or 'to be accommodated'.
Nos vamos a hospedar en un hotel céntrico.
During our trip, we are going to stay in a downtown hotel.
Now, let's look at some alternatives and why you might choose them instead:
Alojarse: This is very similar to 'hospedarse' and often used interchangeably. 'Alojarse' also means to stay or lodge in a place. If you're staying in a hotel, hostel, or any type of accommodation, both 'hospedarse' and 'alojarse' are perfectly fine. There's not a strong difference in meaning in most contexts. However, 'alojarse' might have a slightly broader application, including even a temporary residence. Think of it as 'to accommodate oneself'.
Decidimos alojarnos en un Airbnb esta vez.
We decided to stay in an Airbnb this time.
Quedarse: This is a more general verb that means 'to stay', 'to remain', or 'to be left'. While you can use 'quedarse' to mean staying in a hotel, it's not as specific as 'hospedarse' or 'alojarse' regarding the type of place or the guest relationship. You can 'quedarse' at home, at a friend's house, or even in a general location. If you want to convey the idea of being hosted or lodging, 'hospedarse' or 'alojarse' are better choices. If you're just talking about staying put somewhere, 'quedarse' is perfect.
¿Dónde te vas a quedar esta noche?
Where are you going to stay tonight?
Me voy a quedar en casa.
I'm going to stay home.
Permanecer: This verb means 'to remain' or 'to stay permanently/for a prolonged period'. It's more formal and implies a longer or more fixed duration. You wouldn't typically use 'permanecer' to talk about a short stay in a hotel. It's more for emphasizing continuity or a longer presence in a place.
La ley exige que los visitantes permanezcan en el país por un máximo de 90 días.
The law requires visitors to remain in the country for a maximum of 90 days.
In summary, while there's overlap, 'hospedarse' and 'alojarse' are the most appropriate for specifically referring to staying in lodging as a guest. 'Quedarse' is a versatile verb for staying in a more general sense, and 'permanecer' implies a longer, more fixed duration. Choose 'hospedarse' when you want to highlight the act of being hosted or accommodated in a specific type of lodging.

Similar to 'to reside,' 'to abide' suggests a longer-term dwelling or adherence, which is different from the temporary guest status implied by 'hospedarse'.

혼동하기 쉬운
'Hospedarse' and 'alojarse' both mean 'to stay' in accommodation. They are often interchangeable.
While very similar, 'hospedarse' often implies a more temporary or guest-like stay, whereas 'alojarse' can be used more broadly for any kind of lodging. In many contexts, they are synonyms.
Me hospedaré en un hotel. (I will stay in a hotel.) / Me alojaré en un apartamento. (I will lodge in an apartment.)
'Quedarse' means 'to stay' but is much broader. It can mean to stay somewhere (e.g., at home, in a city) or to stay still, remain.
'Quedarse' is a general verb for 'to stay' in any context, not specifically accommodation. 'Hospedarse' specifically refers to staying as a guest in a place like a hotel.
Me quedaré en casa. (I will stay at home.) / Se quedaron en silencio. (They stayed silent.)
'Vivir' means 'to live.' Beginners might confuse 'to live' with 'to stay' in a place.
'Vivir' implies a more permanent residence or dwelling, whereas 'hospedarse' is for a temporary stay as a guest.
Yo vivo en Madrid. (I live in Madrid.) / Me hospedaré en Madrid por una semana. (I will stay in Madrid for a week.)
'Permanecer' means 'to remain' or 'to stay.' It can sometimes overlap in meaning with 'quedarse' but can be confusing with 'hospedarse.'
'Permanecer' is about continuing in a state or place, but doesn't carry the specific connotation of being a guest in accommodation like 'hospedarse' does.
El libro permaneció en la mesa. (The book remained on the table.) / Permaneceré aquí hasta que llegues. (I will stay here until you arrive.)
'Visitar' means 'to visit.' While one might visit a place and stay there, the verbs have different primary meanings.
'Visitar' focuses on the act of seeing or going to a place, while 'hospedarse' focuses on the act of lodging there as a guest.
Voy a visitar a mis abuelos. (I am going to visit my grandparents.) / Me hospedaré en casa de mis abuelos. (I will stay at my grandparents' house.)
사용법
Hospedarse is a reflexive verb, meaning it includes 'se' at the end of the infinitive and requires a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se) to match the subject. For example, 'Me hospedo' (I stay), 'Te hospedas' (You stay). It's commonly used to talk about staying in hotels, hostels, or other temporary lodging.
A common mistake is forgetting the reflexive pronoun. You wouldn't say 'Yo hospedo en un hotel', but rather 'Yo me hospedo en un hotel'. Another mistake is confusing it with 'quedarse' which can also mean 'to stay', but 'quedarse' has a broader meaning, like 'to stay home' or 'to stay put', while 'hospedarse' specifically refers to staying as a guest in accommodation.
