In this book we have presented what we feel are some of the best hostels
from around the world, based on a combination of their interior design,
comfort, and services. Some of them even offer discotheques, terraces,
restaurants, or reading rooms. The majority of the establishments shown
are located in major cities, although some are in rural settings. There
are hostels in historic buildings, such as the old Medical Science
University in Amsterdam, or a 200-year-old Venetian palace, while others
are situated in modern buildings or converted houses...but all locations
cater to the many travelers who do not mind sharing a room.
