Bamboo Beach, Nadi, Fiji
9.1
22nd Jan 2018

Must-stay for backpackers in Nadi. Girl's dorm opens directly to the pool & beach (amazing for atmosphere, worth noting if you struggle with noise at night). No communal kitchen, but a cafe open 24 hours with huge menu of cheap food. Atmosphere is friendly and fun. There's a travel desk that will arrange excursions for you. Awesome kava circle at night. Luggage room & showers available even after checkout. Male staff can be very friendly if you're female & traveling alone, but not aggressive.

YHA Auckland City, Auckland, New Zealand

Most generous WiFi policy of all the places I stayed in NZ-- 2gb per day. The directions on their page could be clearer, but easy to get to from the main road: from Karangahape & Queen, turn left on Liverpool, walk straight. There are two YHAs on the same street, this is the one at the top of the hill. The one at the bottom seemed more social. The facilities here are cool, but everyone sort of seems to keep to themselves and their phones. Key cards, big lockers in rooms, elevators, big kitchen.

Lovely hostel within walking (or very short bus ride) distance away from the main train station. Walking distance from old town. Reception is right at the front door and someone is always there. The hostel offers bike rental, full use of full kitchen and lockers in each room. Communal living room area, as well.

Athens Backpackers, Athens, Greece

After experiencing some of the super cheap hostels around Greece, this may be slightly pricier, but it was DEFINITELY worth it. Rooftop bar with a great view of the Parthenon/Acropolis and a fun bartender named Victor, if that's your scene. Free breakfast in the morning, the Wifi works EVERYWHERE in the hostel, and there's an elevator if you're on an upper floor. Very secure with reception open 24 hours. Lockers in the rooms. En suite bathroom in the dorm. Very close to the metro. AB is great.

Youth Hostel Anna, Santorini, Greece
6.9
11th Jul 2013

Dorms: you get what you pay for. The rooms are air conditioned, but they're in the basement or on a busy, loud road with a bar right across the street. The only common area is a patio which was lively, but the staff soon started asking everyone to be quiet at 11PM and not to drink alcohol. There are 3 outlets available in a 12 bed room. The Wifi ONLY works if you're right outside reception. The only place I stayed in all of Greece where I couldn't drink the tap water. Close to the beach, though.

Rethymno Youth Hostel, Crete, Greece

8th Jul 2013

LOVE this hostel. Easily one of my favorites I've ever stayed at, located right in town.The staff is friendly and outgoing. There's a communal space that makes the guests feel like one big family. Wifi works all over the hostel, including in the rooms. There's an outdoor terrace that's amazing during the high season. Try to snag a bed there, if you can. The front door is always open and there are no lockers, but I never felt unsafe there. Cheap breakfast in the morning, cheap drinks at night.

Niriis Hotel, Chania, Greece
8.9
5th Jul 2013

Niriis is a fine hostel. It's a bit away from Chania, but there's a beach right nearby. George has great suggestions for day trips such as Samaria Gorge and Elafonisi. Huge storage drawers are available under the beds in the dorm- bring a lock. There is a kitchen and a bathroom in the dorm, but overall, it's a bit cramped. Wifi works in the rooms. George will also sell you discounted sunscreen left behind by other travelers, which is a lifesaver seeing as the island wants 18 euors+ per bottle.

Split Guesthouse & Hostel, Split, Croatia
9.7
2nd Jun 2013

All of the reviews about Josko are true-- he's such a personable, accommodating guy. He goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are happy. He takes guests on private tours of Plitvice, offers private transfer to the airport (he'll drive you there himself!) and brings everyone doughnuts in the morning. Free food, free alcohol, awesome turtle in the garden. I wish I could have stayed at the Guesthouse longer.

The staff is very sweet. I arrived exhausted late at night and couldn't find the hostel, and they came and found me and walked me there. The location is great, right in Old Town. It's up a serious set of stairs, but so is the rest of town. Each room has lockers and the room I stayed in had its own bathroom. There's a full kitchen for guest use and it's very clean, although currently going through renovations. There's a cleaning woman who mills around quite a bit, but otherwise it was great.

Split Backpackers, Split, Croatia

28th May 2013

The location of this hostel is perfect-- not even a five minute walk from Old Town and the main bus/ferry station. The staff is really kind and helpful. This is a quiet hostel-- the only common room is the kitchen and it's very calm at night, but it's a nice place to stay. Wifi works in the rooms and each room has lockers that (I believe) are included in the price of the bed. Laundry service for only 50 kuna (~7 euros). Two bathrooms and two shower rooms are available, as well.

THE MELLOW MONKEY, Zadar, Croatia
9.4
25th May 2013

This hostel is about a 20 minute walk to Old Town, but it was worth it. The staff is awesome. The hostel has its own bar and at night the staff hangs out in the common room, treating everyone like friends rather than just guests. This was one of the best hostels I've stayed in in terms of meeting people as a solo traveler. One thing- smoking is allowed (and frequently happens) in the indoor common room. Whether that's a pro or con for you, it's worth noting.

Downtown Paraiso Hostel, Barcelona, Spain
8.0
3rd Apr 2013

The name of the hostel has changed and it isn't labeled very well, so it can be a bit tricky to find. The address listed is accurate. The location is in an alleyway but it is quite close to La Rambla and Liceu. Cons: For some reason, the hostel's credit card reader wouldn't accept my card even though I have never had a problem with it in Europe before. One of the neighbors has an annoying, yippy dog, but the hostel can't control that. Pros: Really nice and helpful staff, bright colors, location.

EastSeven Berlin Hostel, Berlin, Germany
8.9
31st Mar 2013

The staff at East Seven were fantastic, especially Christian. He was extremely friendly and helpful and frankly he is what made our stay so enjoyable. The bathrooms were clean, and the facilities were nice. It's definitely not a party hostel-- very quiet, but still a nice place to stay. They also do an extremely reasonable happy hour. About a 20 minute walk to Alexanderplatz, the location wasn't exactly central, but I have absolutely no complaints. East Seven is great.
