Thus begins the first of EULC dedicated to best hostels in the world. Yes, because nowadays, with the current times, it is no longer the case to spend astronomical amounts to sleep in a 4-star hotel or to indulge in a € 20 breakfast, unless it is really worth it.
Some of the most important newspapers in the world, see the Times or some of the most authoritative hostel sites, see Hostelword, they armed themselves with holy patience and sounded the opinions of visitors, one by one, until they reached the ranking of the 5 best hostels in the world.
In this post I will guide you among these 5 hostels classified by the Hostelworld staff, in the next post we will talk about the 10 best hostels in Europe according to the Times, the safest or cleanest hostels and the special prizes awarded to them, and specifically , a post will be dedicated to the 3 best hostels in London.
Hostelword's ranking, whose staff has taken the trouble to rate so many hostels, starts with the Travelers House of Lisbon, Portugal of course. This hostel located in Rua Augusta in the Baixa 89 district, is truly incredible, the interior decoration is refined but at the same time very informal, looking at the images from the site you will never believe that it can only be a hostel. The hostel is run by two travelers, Tiago and Goncalo who know what makes a traveler like them's stay more enjoyable. The position in which it is located is excellent so that the site gives it 100 points, the maximum.
In second place we find Hostel Lao in Mendoza, a bit far because we are no less than in Argentina, in Rioja 771. The environment is truly unique and very colorful, large and spacious, the garden also reserves a swimming pool for guests. A room for 6 people with air conditioning costs Ar $ 40 per night, while one for 4 people with private bathroom and air conditioning costs only Ar $ 42, which roughly equals € 7. Strong points of the hostel are considered the safety and the staff who are given almost the maximum score.
Follows closely The Riverhouse Backpackers located in Cardiff, Fitzhamon Embankment 59, England. You will feel like you are at home also because the hostel is run by a typical English family, the house has a Victorian style and a back garden to relax and cook something really typical. All bedrooms have private bathrooms.
In fourth place we find Portugal and again the city of Lisbon with the Lisbon Lounge Hostel, Rua de Sao Nicolau 41. The site is great, the prices very reasonable and the hostel is right in the heart of the city. The cost of the rooms is very variable and depends on the time of year: a cemera can cost 18 € per person per night in a dormitory, in the period from October to April, up to 30 € per person per night in a double room with bathroom during the high season or during the Christmas holidays. Hostelworld staff also score 99 for location and 98 for cleanliness. Great.
At the bottom of this important ranking is Budapest with his Carpe Noctem, who really has all the very high points with a 99 to the staff. Just a 10 minute walk from every major attraction in the city but the hostel is also well served by public transport. The rooms are simple and clean with dorms for 10, 8, 6 or 4 people, double or single rooms, a really great way to see the beautiful Hungarian city.
