Useful websites for booking hostels

Not all hostels are made equal. Whether you are a converted hostel lover or a first-timer, there’s much to learn about the world of hostels. Below I have published a curated list of websites I know for booking hostels in the UK, Europe and worldwide. The general websites are pretty comprehensive, but the second list offers reduced collections and curated types of hostels if you simply can’t choose! Hope you find the list useful, as ever. If you feel your company is missing from this list, simply drop your useful travel friend an email here.
