Hostels are the natural accommodation for Backpackers.
A place for friendships to be made. A cheap bed for the night and a base to explore. Meet fellow travellers at the bar, on walking tours or the infamous bar crawls. Check my favourite ranked hostels and hostelling travel blogs below.

My Favourite Hostel
Let me Introduce Steel House in Copenhagen.
I would describe this as a Luxury hostel which is a change from the usual budget-conscious hostels. The dorms had pods which had comfy mattresses, plenty of plugs and storage. The bathrooms were plentiful and always clean. Even though Scandinavia is expensive, the 2-4-1 Happy Hour is much welcomed along with an affordable and filling breakfast! The facilities are what sets this Hostel apart with Arcade machines, shuffleboard, snooker and table football, lots of tables & sofas. Then downstairs there is a stage, a gym and a swimming pool…. yes in a Hostel! I met lots of people near the bar and found it had a great layout. I would 100% stay again and highly recommend Steel House.
