Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Fantastic atmosphere, really great for getting to know new people on your trip; fun and creatively arranged, a very artistic and laid-back place; free coffee and tea; located in a funky district. If I were to point to the perfect youth hostel, this would be it.
