Hostels

Anyone got reat stories of super helpful staff? I recently stayed in east berlin for the world hard-court bike polo championships (look it up… too much fun) The hostel half the Autralian team stayed in: HOSTEL DIE ETAGE EAST was tidy, well priced, spacious and the staff were very helpful. (our unique polo bikes were allowed to be locked up inside) However, that was not what made me want to write this post.

Anybody ever stayed at the Auberge des 3 Fontaines hostel in Brussels? What’s it like? Safe?If not, anyone in Brussels wanna check it out for me?

Hi all,

Me & a friend are looking for hostels or cheap twin room hotels close to any dandy, vintage or 1960s style friendly (peace, psychedelic and rocking) hostels in Paris and Berlin.
We are spending a couple of nights in each city.
The only thing we want to do for definite is visit Serge Gainsbouroughs house, apart from that we are also open to suggestions for day trips, things to see and bars and nightlife.

Please let me know if you have any hostel/area advice for a cheap budget! 

Cheers,
Tom

Looking at going to Running of the Bulls 2011 and wondering what sort of accomodation ideas everyone has. Would like to keep it pretty cheap if at all possible.

Will be in Amsterdam Sept. 18-20ish

I like to have my privacy and proper sleep so I was thinking of getting a regular hotelroom, however seems like being at something like the Flying Pig would provide great opportunity to meet people, which I’ll definitely need since i’ll be going solo.
