Summary

Written in the usual hip, humorous, tell-it-like-it-is style that the series has become famous for, these decidedly opinionated guides provide comprehensive coverage. Karr's honest, engaging, and sometimes irreverent descriptions leave no stone unturned, spotlighting each hostel's strengths and weaknesses. Unlike the directories compiled by hostel organizations, these guides offer the unbiased lowdown on each establishment.

Entries include:
-- At-a-glance rating system that enables readers to quickly size up overall quality, hospitality, safety, cleanliness -- and party potential
-- Handy icons indicating features such as superior facilities, special rooms, attractive settings, and good value
-- Information on rates, season, hours, number of beds, local cheap eats, and nearby attractions
-- Directions and public transportation
-- Comparison charts for city hostels

Candid, colorful, detailed descriptions of all hostels to be found in the 31 most popular cities throughout Europe, including ratings for hospitality, cleanliness, and party potent
