2 Hostels that the hunkie hubbie and I want to visit... and SOON!



Hostels often get a bad rep for being nasty and unsafe, especially in Amsterdam. In 2005, Eli Roth came out with that awful movie "The Hostel" which definitely didn't help the situation. Today we are going to go over two hostels in Europe that not only feel safe and clean but you will most likely have a blasty blast while there as well.




Location: Amsterdam

The Flying Pig continues to win the award for best hostel in the Netherlands. They have three locations: one in Uptown, one in Downtown and one on the beach. The Flying Pig Hostels are budget-friendly and have the motto "one price covers all." This really means everything in these youth hostels is included: breakfast, linen, internet, lockers, luggage room, tours, info guide, map, self-service kitchen etc.

Location: Nice, France

Off to explore the beautiful French Riviera but want to save some big bucks while doing so? The Villa Saint Exupery is a little lap of luxury and may just be perfect for you. The chapel has been transformed into a fresh, fun lounge area for guests. They have been voted TOP TEN HOSTELS in the world 5 years in a row!
