Best and Worst Hostels

Katet — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 17:18:43 -0400

Best Hostels:

Jetpak City in Berlin. This place is the best. :p

Oasis Backpacker's Mansion in Lisbon. :p See my review....

Worst Hostel:

By Far...The Generator in London! What a dump! :eek: Rude staff and commercialized generic-ness. This place had no down home friendly traveler vibe what-so-ever.

Where are hostels registered and where to report a dirty one?

lucent — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:22:52 -0400

I have been traveling and stayed in a hostel in Glasgow. The hygiene standards were below any expectation level. Not to mention BED BUGS!!!!!
I will be complaining in writing to the owner, however, I wonder which association hostels fall under and where I could take my complaint in case the hostel's owner does not take responsibility.
The receptionist was drunk and refused to refund me when I approached him with this matter.

Manuka Honey

manukahoney1 — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:47:58 -0500

Manuka Honey Antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria or superbugs are on the increase and the much relied on penicillins including methicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin and other widely used antibiotics are becoming less effective at treating infection. This is causing alarm and concern in hospitals around the world.

But almost miraculously Manuka honey is able to defeat MRSA, staph infections, dermatitis and much more, while aiding in the healing of wound and burns.

How much would it cost to stay in hostels across Italy for 3 weeks?

debracoker — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:28:33 -0400

I'd like to do a self-directed bike tour of Italy, staying in hostels along the way. Could someone please offer a ballpark figure for cost of accomodation, groceries, plus a recommended budget for sightseeing? Please use Italian Lira as a currency.

Thank you very much!

Stay away from Balmers

dpmiv — Mon, 11 Dec 2000 21:49:00 -0500

OK, so this is vengfu, but what the hell. I'm sure you've heard of Balmer's Herbage, the hostel in Interlaken, Switzerland. If you have any sense of decency whatsoever, stay away. I got stuck in a 10 person room and, in the middle of the night, awoke to some drunk idiot pissing on my backpack. Against my better judgement I didn't kill him and instead complained to the workers at the hostel; they assured me that they'd take care of the matter and even confiscated the guy's passport. When I woke in the morning I found that they'd given him his passport back and let him leave; fining him about 35 bucks and giving that to me. That barely covered the cost of washing my clothes and backpack; quite a bit of my stuff was ruined. Sure, you'll probably turn out all right, but there are far, far more peaceful ways to enjoy Interlaken, one of the best cities I visited.

Keep off - star hostel, belgrade- racist and vindictive staff

promingrrounen — Mon, 02 May 2011 12:34:38 -0400

I just want to notify my experience about the above mentioned hostel, to forwarn you if you want to travel to Belgrade.

In numerous sites one can find attracive information about this hostel and for the ones who are not mistrustful enough it looks pretty good. They offer lots of things and when you arrive to the ruinous flat can realise that almost none of the things are true. You can accept that it is not as clean etc as it was written but it is outrageous that the owners are racists and make difference among guests on strength of where they came from. If your mother tongue is not Serbian or English you can count upon a slice of mouldy bread for breakfast etc and a hospitality as an ancient enemy.

And last but not least one of the owner guys (who is a student of Hotel Management) confessed that their behaviour was affected by our nationality (Hungarian), and said that he want us never return to Belgrade after our short trip.

How lucky he studies hotel management in university…. If you want to have a pleasant stay in Belgrade I advise you to avoid Star Hostel.

+ only the owners have acces to write comment about the hostel, and how weird....in different sites all the ratings show 100% contentment..

hope you find a better hostel in Belgrade

Greetings from Russia! )

Bonzatina — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:57:55 -0400

Hallo. My name is Sergei. I live in Kazan (Russia). I have a travel experience in Russia and Europe. I like to make new friends and I want to work on the job that I love. As a result this spring, I and a friend of me opened hostel in Kazan . I went to this site primarily to advertise our hostel. Here it is - facebook.com/pages/II-Hostel/174982609219181
But I am also very interested to know the opinion of participants of such European forum for backpakers about what do you think about traveling in Russia. If it is hard for you to organise trip to Russia? What is mostly problematic in traveling in Russia? Do you heard anything about my hometown - Kazan :)
I'll be glad to see any comments)

Unusual Hotel and Hostels

Juanito007 — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:08:41 -0400

Dear Friends BackPacker,

As a Worldwild BackPacker I experienced a large number of Hotels and Hostel all around the world.

After discovered so many places to sleep I enjoyed a new experience in some countries, by sleeping in Unusual Places. Sometimes Hostel and sometimes Hotels, when it was not too expensive obviously! You know what I mean:rolleyes:

My first experience was in the beautiful country of France, in a small city called “l'’île de Groix".
I experienced a totally new and unknow experience, sleeping in a Nest...Yes a nest in trees!!!
It was a really cool experience during 2 nights to sleep as a bird...or almost !!

By searching on the web some new unusual places to sleep, I found a nice post with a huge list of "Unusual Hotels to sleep", but were it's not only Hotels and where I found also the Nest where I slept !! Amazing :)

So I would like to share it with you, hopping you will like it and that it will give you too, the desire to experiment the new kind of Places to sleep :)

Enjoy my Friends BackPackers and Good Travel all around the world every one ;)

Video directions to London Hostels from their nearest tube/rail station

hostelvids — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:23:39 -0400

Hi all - I am looking for general feedback here on an idea i thought may prove useful to travellers arriving in London and wanting to get video directions to the hostel they are booked into from the nearest tube station to that hostel.
Video's for individual hostels whether viewer created, 3rd party created (major booking engines..HW,HB etc..) or those created by the hostel themselves are few and far between, and at best only show the facilities of the hostel...BUT, what about the lone traveller who arrives at Heathrow late in the day after an 8 hour flight...jaded and in unfamiliar surroundings..manages to negotiate their way onto the tube and find themselves coming out of Leicester Square tube station at 10pm...wondering how on earth they can navigate their way to their hostel (if in fact this station was listed as the closest station to the hostel they are booked into..)..
In fact, at any time of the day in London..after long flights or not...finding your way can be a challenge, relying on print outs of directions previously made or the goodwill of strangers...not to point you in the wrong direction!

So, if i were to put to use my slinky new camcorder and actually film the journey from tube station to hostel reception - do this for all London Hostels - create a website for this (..in mobile friendly html.!!)..do you think this will be of much use??
I think there is a market for this kind of tool, and definately believe would be of use to travellers trying to locate hostels...however...what do you all think here?
I am open to any and all comments. thanks for reading.

Hostels in Europe

A first approach to the search of cheap hostels will probably guide you to a list of recommended hostels. Normally this is a selection for the ones that pay most to get listed on the top, so many times it is not really the option you are looking fo

Good Location in Tenerife South

carstev — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 15:31:27 -0400

I recently stayed in Costa Del Silencio on a hiking trip round the South of the Island, the place was called Alondras Park, not really a hostel but an aparment complex. As there was three of us we had a 1 bed apartment, John, my mate got the sofa bed the other two of us had single beds in the bedroom. the room had a living room, kitchenette, bedroom, shower/bath and a balcony with pool view. There where 3 swimming pools, pool bar, free wifi and 24 hour reception. For all this we only paid £25.00 per night not each for the room, we ended up staying 3 nights and had 2 days hiking around the area, love yellow mountain and one day relaxing before we took a bus to Los Gigantes but that is another story. Really recommended cheap and great location for us..

'residence hostel' in paris?

pineapplesurprise — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 10:26:37 -0400

I'm sorry for the multiple posts! I can't seem to find anything about this hostel anywhere so wondered if anyone could be of any help... I saw a lot of posts on the internet like this - arghh it won't let me post links yet!!! - (except people have replied in this one so it MUST exist) but can't seem to find anything about it on the internet :( anyone know anything about it???

anyone stayed at Auberge Internationale des Jeune in Paris?

pineapplesurprise — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 17:09:08 -0400

Sorry for all of my France/Paris related threads, I'm new here and have so many questions to ask!

I found this hostel in Paris, and because I'll be on an extremely tight budget I was wondering whether anyone who has been here could tell me how much they paid? On one page it says it's about 16-18 Euros for the season I want to visit in (End of August to start of september) but when I click on the reservations/bookings and put in the dates it says 23Euros, which is quite a bit of a price jump!

Any help appreciated, thanks! I just need a reaaallly reallllyyy cheap hostel incase I don't manage to find work in one :(

Hostel Wolna Chata Gdansk - Poland

flyerdave — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 21:35:38 -0400

I write this thread from my room at this hostel simply because it deserves to be included.

I have stayed at a number of hostels in Poland and most of them have been very good but the one I am now at is a new hostel 10 mins away from the city centre but well worth that little extra journey.

I am here for a week and am really enjoying my stay due to the way the Polish lady is running this place and the other staff that are friendly, go that extra mile to help you, the place is spotless and you can relax.

if like me, you do not want to stay in a 5 star hotel but want a nice comfortable place to rest your tired bones at the end of a day exploring the local sites of this tri-city location with all the assistance you ever need, then give Hostel Wolna Chata a try.:D
