Powered by Max Banner Ads
Choosing an exotic destination is sometimes the toughest part for travelers with all the options out there from sandy beaches to famous capital cities, but happens when you are also given choices of accomodation which are not your typical structures? Here are the Top Ten budget hotels and hostels around the world that make staying abroad even more of an adventure with HostelsClub!
1. Jumbo Hostel – Stockholm, Sweden
Jumbo Hostel was built inside an actual 747-200 jumbo jet from an old Swedish airline that went bankrupt and decided to make good use of the decommissioned model.
2. Santos Express Train Lodge – Mossel Bay, South Africa
“Welcome aboard!” is the way you will be greeted as you enter this exclusive train hostel. It is a real six-coach train parked right on the beach! Mossel Bay has the second mildest all-year climate in the world and it’s also known to be great for whale watching.
3. Boathotel Fortuna – Budapest, Hungary
A two-story ex-holiday ship is what you’ll find docked opposite the beautiful Margaret Island along the Danube River. They have 3-star facilities with private rooms on the upper deck and the youth hostel with single, double and triple rooms with shared baths on the lower deck.
4. Hostel Lum ‘n Abner – Amsterdam, Holland
While Amsterdam is known for its thousands of canals, why not stay with the water theme and opt for sleeping on a floating hostel? You can choose to stay in the captainsroom, one of their private rooms, or the dorm room located in the hull of the historical coaster. Since this was such a big hit, Amsterdam opened up more floating hostels such as Hotelboat Zwaan, B&B Boat Friesland and Botel Zebra to name a few.
5. Hostel Celica – Ljubljana, Slovenia
If staying in a boat or old train isn’t cool enough, this hostel wins for giving you that “secure” feeling and by secure, I mean being barred inside this former prison. They have twenty cells you can reserve which still have bars on the doors and windows.
6. The Jane -NYC, USA
This Manhattan boutique hostel was inspired by luxury train cabins and their smart design allows maximum conveniences into a minimum space. Each cabin comes with air-conditioning, an iPod dock/clock radio, a compact twin bed with built in storage space, free wireless internet and a 26-inch flat screen LCD television.
7. Travellers Cave Pension – Goreme, Turkey
This natural wonder is located just five minutes from the Goreme bus station, where you can enjoy the breathtaking surroundings and panoramic views of the rock formations from your cave room. Yes, that’s right, this lodging has single to quad dormitory rooms dug inside an above-ground Turkish fairy chimney. There is running hot water and heat, satellite TV and meals available so you can live like a modern day caveman!
8. YHA Ostello di Montagnana – Città Murata, Italy
Città Murata literally means “Walled City”. This youth hostel, originally a Middle Aged fortress, is located on the northern side, five minutes from the Medieval city centre of Montagnana, Padua. There are dorm rooms with three and four bunk beds located inside the tower dated from the XIVth century.
9. Clink Hostel – London, UK
Clink combines 200 years of history into a newly interior-designed hostel with modern facilities such as high-tech pod beds, reading lights, a brand new kitchen, and an in-house DJ bar. Guests can choose to chill in the internet lounge with a 60-inch TV, take advantage of Clink’s free walking tours, or sleep in one of their six authentic prison cell rooms.
10. Radeka Downunder Underground Backpackers Inn & Motel – Coober Pedy, South Australia
When you think of Australia’s Down Under, you finally have the option to really sleep under the Earth’s surface. This underground facility, originally an Opal Mine from the 1960s in the Aussie Desert, has four to twenty-one bed dorm rooms located literally 6.5 meters underground.
