I’ve stayed in the Central Station Hostel in Kiev for 3 days. Very good location, in the heart of Kiev, easy to reach on foot to all sights.

I stayed in Archi Rossi (Florence) and I can only confirm what you said: a great hostel with a wonderful breakfast!!

Also stayed in Dopa hostel in Bologna and it was amazing!!! So small but really cozy and with a perfect location.

In reply to Jaclyn Kader.

my partner and I, we usually stay at generators hostel at Tavistock place. as a couple we book a private room, and get a small room with a bunkbed and a sink/ tap in the room.

its fine for a weekend or so. done it a couple of times. it`s cheaper than hotels.

showers are down the hall though, but ok standard. must pay for breakfast.

the falafel shop down the street, and pizza house “ sophia” across the street are really good!! close to kings cross/ st pancrass stations. busses are good too if going to “west end-district” to the theatres.

Hey Matt, how are you?

Great suggestions and they definitely don’t look like the typical hostel.

Any recommendations for central London, UK?

Hi Matt,
Nice suggestions. Next time you’re in Lisbon try the “Home Hostel Lisbon”. It’s the best hostel I’ve ever been to. I took there 2 friends of mine who have never stayed at a hostel and told me “I can’t believe I’ve wasted my life by not going to hostels!”. 🙂
I always recommend it to all of my friends that visit Lisbon, and none has till today been disappointed. 🙂

I stayed a the Generator hostel in Berlin Mitte, it was my favourite hostel I have ever stayed at. It’s location is perfect and the rooms are far enough from the bar so you could get a good sleep. I am planning to stay at the location in Hamburg this spring and I am really exited.

The Generator in Copenhagen has been one of my favorites as well (minus no breakfast)! Also really enjoyed the Flying Pig hostel in Amsterdam. Glad to know that you found these places worthy as well!
