3. Best Hostels In – Guides
Not all destinations in the world have a 5 Star Hostel. The majority of hostels are still not in good quality. You can easily find worn-out and dirty hostels.
We want to help our readers to always find the best hostel choice for their destination.
So we created the so-called “best hostels in” guides for destinations with NO 5 Star Hostel. We compare the 3 BEST and COOLEST hostel to stay. And if there is not a cool one? Well, then we tell you so as well.
