Blue Midnight, Koh Phangan, Thailand

A bit of a walk from Thong Sala which gave it a quieter, jungle atmosphere by comparison to being "downtown" even though there is a supermarket, bars,and small businesses near. I saw a Muy Thai card right two doors down. Air conditioning was welcomed. Toilet audibly leaked, other than that, the hostel was clean. Door rarely looked. Staff was friendly. Cleaning lady gave me water bottles everyday she came to the room. Didn't get around to doing the restaurant. Quiet, even around the full moon.

Everyday Bangkok Hostel, Bangkok, Thailand

29th Dec 2014

If you're in Bangkok for Rattanakosin, it's not very convenient, but it's great if you want to access to the train station or airplanes/MRT. Friendly staff. Have to take off your shoes before going upstairs to your room. I had to go to a different floor for men's room/shower. I believe they arrange for some day trips, but weren't very helpful with local tourism. (No free maps, suggestions, etc.) Many conversations go well into the night, more so than most hostels I've been it.

City Backpacker - Hostel Biber, Zurich, Switzerland

2nd Dec 2014

Close to the train station (which means it's easy to get to/from airport), great location in Zurich's prettier bar/restaurant area close to downtown. Price looks bad but if you knew Zurich prices, it could be considered reasonable. Keep eyes peeled because the front door is actually around the corner from Niederdorfstrasse. About four floors up to the reception. Squeaky floors. Staff quite friendly. Lockers are small. Cramped.

Pricey by hostel standards, but not by Lucerne standards. The surrounding area has all the charm of a business park. Not a central location from the old town, but it's not much of a walk. Lots of Asian student customers who keep to themselves. The hostel sells food stuffs at slightly higher prices. (Think 3 CHF for .33 L soda) The staff was quite friendly. Trees obscured my view of the lake.

Three euros for breakfast is a good deal. Close to the train station, but a ways from Altstadt.

The Classic by 2GO4 Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium
6.0
22nd Nov 2014

I wanted to stay at Grand Place because I thought it was close to the Noord Station. But the Hostelworld map actually showed me the location of 2go4 hostel which is where you can check in for Grand Place but is a 10 minute walk away. The receptionist was kind enough to arrange for a bed at 2go4 at the same price, so it all ended well for me. But you can't count on a bed being open, so be aware: when it comes to booking for the Grand Place, you might run into such a snag.

One criticism: they need to do a better job of directing customers to their room. This hostel is 8 stories high and huge and I sometimes took the wrong turn. I didn't take advantage of their bars, breakfast, etc. Great location if you want to explore downtown. If you want St. Paulie, the metro will get you there conveniently enough. They charge you a €3 fee for linens. Came during a "university meeting", so they atmosphere may be a lot livlier than usual. In the dorm, basic fare.

In a seemingly quiet neighborhood but it's about a 10-5 minute walk to Reeperbahn. Staff ranged from polite to superfriendly. They don't use keys, they use codes for doors which can be problematic for those of us who can't remember codes or can't keep bits of scrap paper. Bathrooms in the dorms so you don't have to compete with an entire floor for time.

The dinners, verbal overview of sites, and various recommendations come across as a refreshing effort of a staff doing their part to make sure we get the most out of the city. Location is not "central", but its not far from anything. They're short on showers, floors can get creaky.

Day and Night Hostel, Zagreb, Croatia

Staff ranged from polite to friendly and quite helpful. They do more than most hostels in recommending stuff like things to do, restaurants, bars, etc. Always someone working on the site, though in the early morning hours, they may be asleep in front of the television. Location is not spectacular, but a great mid-way point between the main square and the train station. Stores nearby so I pretty much got all I needed from the place. I could see a lot of potential competition for showers, though.

VERY well camouflaged hostel, I found it by accident. Sort of an eerie atmosphere: not a lot of noise, like a library, until the cleaning crew comes in. Locks/cabinets are free. My room wasn't a room, but a set of beds separated by a partition to the rest of the room/hallway. The staff, the one guy I saw, was quite friendly. I only saw two full bathrooms to service however many people were there.(Not many people.) Not the best place meet people.Different feel than other hostels some may like.

My roommates would come in at all hours of the night, but sleep interruptions aside, were respectfully quiet. It could get loud outside. The rooms are clean enough. The showers were pretty smelly the first night, but they fixed that. They give you a discount for meals and drinks at the bar the next door. Lockers/padlocks free with deposit. In other words, the hostel is what one should expect when staying cheap in the red light district. Come for the location, nothing else!

Solid hostel. I stayed in a four bed dorm that had a full bathroom to serve everyone in that dorm. Didn't get around to demanding too much from the place. Not exactly what I call a "central" location but it is conveniently next to the main train station and the cathedral. No complaints about the place.

At the bottom of a fairly steep hill...a beautiful location but a somewhat inconvenient hike to start going to, well, anywhere. Pretty setting aside, it was a solid hostel. The food at breakfast wasn't really good, but a wider variety than I'm used to. (Stuff for sandwiches along side the usual toast, cereal, and fruit.) I didn't get around to trying their dinner. Cleaner, bigger, and nicer than most hostels. No complaints.
