Forget about stereotypes!

If you've never tried to stay in a hostel, probably it's because you are one of those who believe in stereotypes. If you tried them at least once, maybe you are still among those who think hostels are only old properties with a little sense of cleanliness and with no private bathroom at all.

If you recognize yourself in the description above, this is the post for you! FYI - nowadays hostels are not carrying their old reputation anymore.

The idea of hostels today is completely different from what our parents had in the past. Firstly, there are a lot of properties which have a taste for boutique and design amenities.

Hostels are now modern and cool, with all the facilities you could want, they are clean and often offer the chance to choose between dorms (but forget about all those mountains of bunk beds) and ensuite private rooms.
