Really nice list!
City Backpackers in Stockholm has made my trip to Stockholm even more magical in 2017. It was an amazingly chill hostel, located in an almost mostly residential, local-infused area. When I was staying there I was thinking “I’d prefer this to a fancy hotel even if I had the chance”. Some Stockholm locals were even coming for the breakfast deal.

Just looked up Tbilisi & Tokyo.. prices literally had me gasping. Perhaps too popular now, so people are willing to pay the inflated prices.

Great Post Matt!! I love staying at Hostels. This will give me some great options while traveling. When I was in Mirissa, Sri Lanka I stayed at an incredible hostel called JJ’s Hostel. If you are ever down there check it out.

Good call with Kabul.
I thought I stayed at the best hostel in Europe at St. Christopher’s Village(London), and then I went to Barcelona and stayed at Kabul and realized THAT was the best hostel in Europe.

Oh my gosh…I’ve stayed at two of these! It was when I was traveling around in the late ’90s. I know I definitely stayed at Kabul and I think I stayed at The Flying Pig (if it’s walking distance from the train station…Amsterdam was a bit of a blur…LOL).

I’d love to go back and see what they’re like now. I was only planning to stay in Barcelona for a day but it was so much fun and I met such cool people in the hostel that I stayed for a week. Thanks for bringing back some fun memories!!!

With 3 years of backpacking under my belt Ive actually been to about half of the hostels on your list and loved most of them too. Agree with Aaron though, Rockin J’s was by far the worst place i stayed at in all of central america. Incredibly dirty (lice everywhere, the hamaks reek of piss), rude staff, and waaaaay overpriced. Ok its fun and good for partying but i recommend staying somewhere else in puerto viejo and just go there for the nightlife. Also agree with Cal – most hostels I stayed at in new zealand were great, but the most amazing places i spent the night in new zealand was on campsites.

Cheers for the recommendations – will check out the Bangkok ones. 🙂

Amsterdam – I love Flying Pig hostels, especially the beach one, but Lucky Lake Hostel has them beat. Fab place.

Porto – Excentric Surf Hostel, but it’s only got a few rooms so best if you’re travelling as a group.

Lisbon – Living Lounge Hostel is incredible.
