Hostels

Has anyone ever heard or stayed at the Walrus Waterloo hostel? It seems to be really cheap for when I plan to visit London.

so when you are booking a hostel and bed linens have a big red “x” next to it what does that mean?

Im doing a Eurotrip with 2 friends and we’ll be in Amsterdam for 4 nights and then we’re going to the be in Greek islands with some nights in Mykonos and Ios before heading to Corfu where we will definitly be checking out the pink palace. Iv done some reserch on hotels and hostels in Amsterdam and it looks like it will be at the very cheapest $40 CAD each night which is about as much as we each plan on spending. We’re hoping to find cheaper places in Greece. Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels or hostels? We’re looking for pretty basic places.
Thanks for any input

Hello everybody again

I will be new on this thing of shared dorms with strangers and will be such an experience that I don’t know if I am prepared to it.

How is the safety there? Do I have to sleep with an eye open looking at my baggage or how does this works out?

How do the shared bathrooms works? Are this like big open shower bathrooms or will people have some privacy in cubics?

When I first started planning my trip, I consider like 40 per night, but now I am seeing it might be a lot more if I want a private room, so probablly not an option.

I will be traveling Europe for a month in September of 2010. Since this is the off season and I dont want to have to stick to a specific itinerary,,,,will I need to book Hostels in advance or would you recommend reserving.

Thanks,

Cory

Hello,
My name is Amr I am planning a trip to Madrid, Barcelona, Rome.
I am applying for a Schengen Visa so I need to book a Hostel in advance, at the same time I am afraid I don’t get my Visa so, I am looking for hostels in those three cities which don’t take any fees for cancellation nor (deposits) or at least are refundable on cancellation.

Thanks
