Hostels with a sauna: pamper yourself even when you're travelling!

Do you want to enjoy a little relaxation during your trip? Here we introduce you to the best hostels with their own sauna.

Just imagine it... wouldn't it be wonderful to return to your hostel after a long day of walking around the city and find a relaxing sauna waiting for you?

Yes... you read that right, in your hostel, not a hotel! We've said it before and we'll say it again, hostels aren't what they used to be. We've launched a campaign against all of the common misconceptions about hostels, proving them wrong, and we've talked about so-called "boutique hostels" showing you examples of hostels with their own gym, so the discovery that there are hostels out there with their own sauna shouldn't come as too much of a shock!

Yes, there really are hostels that have their own saunas and they can be found everywhere, so here are a few examples, starting in the north and heading down to the southern hemisphere.
