Hostels have embraced style inside and out: they now have large rooms, original and stylish design, onsite bars, and rooftop pools to rival any hotel. The Grand Hostels tells stories of the luxury of memorable experiences: learning about local habits, finding discounted activities, drinks offers, free meals, and amazing staff. It documents this new trend and opens up a new world of travel and experiences for travellers who eschew the mundane, bland, and insipid world of chain hotels.

The Grand Hostels revolutionises travel for the stylish, design-led, budget-conscious traveller. Not just the journey but the place you choose to stay should be an adventure.
