There’s plenty of choice on this holiday hostels site

HOSTELWORLD.COM, a market leader in online hostel reservations, claims “grey gappers” and young people are equally enthusiastic about hostels ranging in quality from luxurious to family-friendly, and from eco to city central.

On the clifftops at Newquay, St Christopher’s Inn offers private and shared rooms from £20 per person per night.

At the opposite end of the country, at Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, Chase The Wild Goose is a four-star hostel with fantastic views of Ben Nevis, and accommodation from £12 per night.

City centre hostels include the Globetrotter Inn, Hammersmith; Hilton Chambers in Manchester’s trendy Northern Quarter, and The Albatross, a 150-year-old former bank building converted in 2006, in Newcastle-on-Tyne. Guests pay from £17.95 per night.

Hostelworld guests can also download city guides free of charge.

The site confirms online reservations for more than 16,000 hostels in 168 countries worldwide.
