13 Hip Hostel Designs

From Rabbit Hole Hostels to Designer Backpacker Abodes

Finding a hip hostel when on one's travels throughout the world can be a more difficult task than most think. While there are plenty of options in certain cities, trying to find one that's not covered with rats or cockroach-infected can be tricky. These hostels, however, break this mould and offer travelers a taste of luxury on the cheap.

The Generator Hostel in London for example was recently renovated, and now embodies the local city spirit, while offering affordable accommodation. Other great finds include the Jumbo Hostel in Stockholm. Located in the airport, travelers can take a quick rest in a room that actually looks like a plane before heading to their next amazing destination.
