33 Of The World’s Most Instagrammable Hostels 📷♥
We’re not ones to be glued to our phones when travelling, but sometimes the world can be so darn buff that we just need to share our appreciation. And Instagram is our favourite pocket-sized memoir for just that. From the dazzling to the downright weird, hostels can offer some serious feed material. We’re talking hostels under the Northern Lights, hostels in caves, and even hostels in the middle of Vietnam’s rice fields.
Your feed will thank us later….(or will it?)
