Whether it’s a city break you are after, a traveller’s treat, or a home away from home, we’ve picked a handful of the best hostels in Europe to give you a glimpse of the luxury hostel lifestyle. But remember, once you go boutique you won’t go back!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Casa Kessler<\/a>, Barcelona\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This casa is chic, charming and has earnt singing praise from our customers who gave this beaut a 9.4 rating. The hostel<\/a>\u00a0is in a renovated Art Noveau building with a glorious mezzaine, intricate mosaic floors and murals on ceilings that you could literally stare at all day. Their philosophy is “comfort combined with a personalised service”, words we all love to hear! What.a.dream.

2. Lavender Circus<\/a>, Budapest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As boutique hostels go, this bohemian abode in the centre of Budapest is pretty special. It sits in a 19th century building with vintage furniture and trinkets scattered throughout, giving you that feeling that you\u2019ve just stepped into an eccentric traveller\u2019s home! Each room has been designed individually by graphic designers, painters and sculptors. There\u2019s always free coffee and tea in the common room and the lovely Lavender<\/a> staff organise Hungarian dinner parties where you can chat to fellow explorers over a Hungarian p\u00e1linka! You can choose from 2-bed apartments from \u20ac19\/per night, or a private room for just \u20ac15\/per night!
\n\"Bouique<\/p>\n

3. Wallyard Hostel<\/a>, Berlin\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well helloooo, sexy! Can you believe this is edgy concept hostel is\u2026 a hostel?! The d\u00e9cor screams urban jungle meets Berlin hipster, and there\u2019s a swanky lounge, art saloon, caf\u00e9, bar and sunny backyard to boot. You can sleep in a dorm or upgrade to a private for just \u20ac25, which beats hotel prices to the curb. Why go Waldorf when you can go Wallyard<\/a>?!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

4. Cocomama<\/a>, Amsterdam\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is Amsterdam\u2019s first boutique hostel – a tall building converted from an original brothel with an old school glamour feel. It\u2019s ideal for couples and lone travelers who want a family-type atmosphere, and downstairs there\u2019s a kitsch garden and kitchen area where they have film and \u2018Tight Ass Tuesday<\/em>\u2019<\/em> nights where guests can dine together for as little as \u20ac3. If you want somewhere with warmth, character and a purring (very cuddly) hostel cat named Joop, Cocomama <\/a>is the perfect boutique hostels for you \ud83d\ude09
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Soul Kitchen<\/a>\u00a0Hostel, St Petersburg, Russia\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This boutique hostel\u00a0in Russia<\/a> is next level stuff! It\u2019s located right by a canal, near the hermitage and St Isaacs cathedral. It\u2019s all about personal touches and food and drink made with love here. The owners regularly bring in a Russian chef who cooks traditional 3 course dinners, the cleaner makes apple pie every morning (make sure you are up early as its VERY popular!!) and there\u2019s fresh coffee every day to help yourself to! On top of all this special treatment the staff love to show you around with trips to flea markets, and a bar crawl starting with a local shot of chill sauce, cherry syrup and vodka. Zazdarovje!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0The 3 Ducks Boutique Hostel<\/a>, Paris\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After 30 years in the biz, this boutique hostel has worked hard to earn its international rep. Its ten minutes\u2019 walk from the Tour de Eiffel, and housed in a former 18th<\/sup> century coaching inn which was renovated last year. 3 Ducks<\/a> not only looks the part, but it also has the social factor nailed. There\u2019s a lively courtyard with a hostel bar open \u2018til 2am every night, and free breakkie (if you make it!) in the morning to reminisce over last night\u2019s debauchery!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Living Lounge Hostel<\/a>, Lisbon\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A multi-award winning, 9.4 rated boutique hostel run by four Portuguese artists \u2013 what more could you want?! The interiors are magnificent with each room freshly painted and decorated by local artists, and the location is purrrrfect for exploring the city. However our favourite part Lisbon Lounge Hostel<\/a> is that you can get fed and drunk every night with their three course dinner *PLUS WINE* for just \u20ac9 – that\u2019s \u00a36.70, people!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0KEX Hostel<\/a>, Reykjavik, Iceland\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The people of Iceland are known for their quirky humour, which explains why this hostel is named after the Icelandic word for \u201cbiscuit\u201d! Lol. Kex <\/a>is a boutique hostel, bar, restaurant and jazz club all in one, but also in the centre of Reykjavik with nightclubs aplenty and a \u201cmind-boggling\u201d array of coffee houses! If you\u2019re after a hostel with style and personality, Kex is the one.
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

9. Sir Toby’s Hostel<\/a>, Prague<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Come in, come in, make yourself at home \u2013 is the vibe you feel when you walk in to Sir Toby\u2019s<\/a>. It\u2019s burrowed in the trendy area of Holesovice and has that cosy vibe with an air of ye olde gentleman. You can enjoy a classic board game on the velvet armchairs in the den-like common room, a BBQ in the courtyard or head down to brick cellar pub where you can meet other travellers over a spot of beer tasting or crepe making. What a gem!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Cube Hostel<\/a>, Belgium\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Retro, colourful and funk-AY, Cube hostel<\/a> has damn well earnt its 9.4 rating. For starters, the location is ludicrously central, right in the heart of Leuven, Belgium\u2019s ancient capital. The historic university gives the town a youthful and creative vibe, plus lots of cheap bars and caf\u00e9s on your doorstep. There\u2019s plenty of bonding activities in the hostel such as baking sessions and movie nights in their eleven seater cinema! We totally dig their \u201cCome as a guest, leave as a friend\u201d motto \u2013 or we could just never leave and live in Belgium forever?!
\n\"Boutique<\/p>\n

11. The\u00a0Blue Hostel<\/a>, Rome\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blue Hostel<\/a> is a hostel escapism in its classiest form. It\u2019s spotless with drop-dead-gorge interiors, and each room is graced with an\u00a0en-suite bathroom, LCD TV, air-conditioning and minibar (sold!). \u00a0It may look like a hotel, but you get the bonus of the friendly local staff and traveller crowd you normally find in hostels.\u00a0 Plus they have the fittest bathrooms of all time\u2026
