Yes, there are hostels with better computers than your university
That is why, in recent years, when youth and backpackers hit the road more than ever , have gained unusual importance, covering themselves with a hipster aura unparalleled in the history of hospitality . So much so that they even have their own hoscars !
The 2016 edition of the same, based on HostelWorld user reviews , has just been presented in society, distinguishing between Best Small Hostels (up to 75 beds), Medium (up to 150), Large (up to 350) and Extra Large (from 351 and up) . In the first category, ** Soul Kitchen , in St. Petersburg, is running as the winner (and is also the absolute champion in Europe), followed super closely by ** One Parallel , in Barcelona (considered by the web as the best in Spain and the one with the best atmosphere in the world) ** and ** Sungate One , in Madrid . Both boast of their friendly and familiar atmosphere and the facilities they provide to explore the city from "a new point of view".
In the "Medium" class, on the other hand, Lisbon is the big winner , with no less than six! of the ten best hostels located in the capital and occupying the first positions of the list. However, there is a little hole for the ** One Centro , from Seville, Cañí and international at the same time **, as well as being very well located.
Yes sir, the One Parallel has a JACUZZI
In the classification dedicated to the Big Ones, widely distributed throughout the world, ** Che Lagarto , in the beautiful Foz de Iguazú (Brazil) appears as the winner.** However, here too there is a gap for the national product, with the Catalan ** Sant Jordi Hostel Rock Palace ** nothing less than fourth place. Also, Barcelona gets back into the top three in the last category, Extra Large, with ** Casa Gracia , a cozy accommodation, despite its size, for which there are only good words. The winner in this case is in Berlin, and it's called ** PLUS .
The most ecological hostel in the world is also in Barcelona , has been recently built with all the advances in energy efficiency and is called **Twentytu Hi-Tech**. And, in case you were wondering, since we keep naming the city, the one with the **most bookings and highest ratings last year was St. Christopher's** which, by the way, is also the name of the best chain of large hostels in the world , followed by Hip Hop Hostels and HI USA. As for the small ones, Khaosan Hostels stand out, Hostel One and Sant Jordi.
Finally -and yes, we've stopped making you dizzy with lists- we tell you that one in five awards have gone to Asian establishments , despite what Europe remains the most awarded continent and Portugal, the best country to stay in one of these companies, with 15 awards (ten of them, in Lisbon). Spain, after everything we have told you, has obtained or nine prizes , of which Barcelona has taken four and Seville, three. How? What do you still want more information? Vaaale: here you have the ** ranking of the winners ** !
Very strong desire to throw ourselves in bed at St. Christopher's in Barcelona
