> No, hostels have limits < 30 days.

I've lived in a hostel for months at a time. At one point an employee mentioned their monthly rate (not advertised; I was paying by the night).

I stand corrected. I should have said: "< 30 days... As far as I know, the majority of hostels in most large metropolitan cities where rents are expensive and therefore lower income normal people might choose to forego having a kitchen/bathroom". At least that was my experience many years ago when I was younger and stayed in hostels in NY, LA and a couple of other places where they had explicit signage that clarified the point.
