2. Hostel Guide

No hostel questions should go unanswered. We’ve put all our knowledge into creating our guide to hostels. Here you can find all our articles about hostels, where we share:

3. Best Hostels In – Guides

Not all destinations in the world have a 5 Star Hostel. Unfortunately, the majority of hostels are still not of good quality. You can easily find worn-out and dirty hostels.

We aim to help our readers always find the best hostel choice for their destination.

So, we created the “best hostels in” guides for destinations without a 5 Star Hostel. We compare the 3 BEST and COOLEST hostels to stay in. And if there isn’t a cool one? Well, then we’ll tell you that too.

We don’t enjoy boring city guides! And we bet you feel the same way.

Like you, we are excited about hidden gems and local secrets. We love the kind of tips a friend gives you. And that’s exactly how all our travel guides work.

All guides are written by us, locals, and expats—people who have lived in and experienced the city!

We do our best to provide you with useful information off the beaten path! And then, sometimes, we can’t keep it to ourselves, and we add even more geeky tips and extra advice.
