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.
