Hostels are one of the great joys of backpack travel. Whether they are hip, cutting edge (and expensive) Berlin joints or $5-a-night dorms in Guatemala, the community atmosphere and shared laid-back traveler’s spirit they provide can’t be found in conventional hotels.
You pull into a new place. Sip a pint in the hostel common area and within a few minutes you’ve got new friends for the week (and maybe life).
And anyone who has traveled has their favorites. (I’m partial to Mellow Yellow in Rio De Janeiro). But Reuters has divided hostels up into a few cool categories – design, parties, best for couples – and offers their take on the best in each.
So for a few hostel recommendations for your next global jaunt, check out the Reuters story here.
