Home / Accommodation
We highly recommend hostelling to find great, budget places to stay while you travel independently.
Modern hostels are generally clean and have a lot of amenities hotels do not offer. It is not uncommon to find free wifi, relaxed bars and private rooms for the dorm-shy.
We book through Hostelbookers and can happily recommend them as a site without booking fees and over 2,500 properties available to book worldwide.
You might find our 10 things to look for when booking a hostel online useful or just book a hostel online.
If you're really not the hostel type, we understand. Maybe the Hilton Club New York is more your style.
When we're after a bit of luxury we often make use of last minute hotel deals and have seriously considered some flight and hotel deals too.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're hostelling, staying in guesthouses or even in five-star hotels. What matters is finding time to do what you enjoy, doing something different -- perhaps even meaningful -- in the places you visit.
