Upon arrival at Wake Up, Sydney’s ‘best budget accommodation’, you will be greeted with a big open lobby area and a smile. All the staff are jolly and always eager to help you out, whether it be by providing you with information about the city, the hostel instead or giving you your printing for free … More Hostel Review: Wake Up, Sydney
Home at the Mansion is a great place to stay as a first stop in Australia…it’s big enough to be spacious, but small enough that you can meet people pretty easily, whether in the kitchen, garden or lounge areas. I stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm and it was plenty big enough. The beds … More Hostel Review: Home @ The Mansion, Melbourne
A spin off from their first hostel just around the corner, Beary Nice! by a Beary Good Hostel in Chinatown is honestly an incredible place to stay. It’s quite small, with only three dorms (each with roughly 10 beds in), but the atmosphere is fantastic. You are greeted with a warm and friendly smile and … More Hostel Review: Beary Nice!

The Matahari Lodge is one of the coolest, nicest places I’ve stayed at on this trip so far. It’s safe, clean, friendly, and the rooms are excellently decorated, giving it a homely sort of feel. When you first arrive you’ll need to get the lift up to the third floor where you’ll find the reception … More Hostel Review: Matahari Lodge, Kuala Lumpur
Upon arrival at the King Angkor Villa we were greeted by a very smiley man who knew exactly who we were and which room to take us to…it was nice to think they had been waiting for us and were fully prepared. We were in a Private Triple Ensuite room with a fan (instead of … More Hotel Review: The King Angkor Villa, Siem Reap
When a place only costs $4 per person per night, you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get, so the Sunday Guesthouse was a great surprise. Upon arrival at the bus station in Phnom Penh we were picked up and driven in a tuk tuk the 15 minute journey to the guesthouse (free of … More Hotel Review: Sunday Guesthouse, Phnom Penh
After spending four hours on a bus from Vientiane, we were keen to quickly find somewhere to dump our bags before heading out to explore Vang Vieng. We soon came across Sisavang Guesthouse, a cute little place set just back from the main road. At first they offered us a large room, with three beds … More Hostel Review: Sisavang Guesthouse, Vang Vieng
After finding that the guesthouse we had originally planned to stay at (on recommendation from lonely planet) was full, we eventually found this lovely little place, down one of the side streets, just off the main road in central Vientiane. After staying in various places around Thailand that haven’t been so central, it was really … More Hostel Review: Souphaphone Guesthouse, Vientiane
Upon first arrival at Trekker Camp in Chaing Mai (if you’re even able to find it that is…no taxi driver seems to know it!), to tell you the truth first impressions aren’t great. It’s quite out of the way of the main city and its attractions, and its all generally a bit grubby and dishevelled. … More Hostel Review: Trekker Camp, Chiang Mai
Set back from the busy Silom Road and just a few minutes walk from the Sala Daeng Skytrain station, the Smile Society Boutique Hostel is a small and unassuming building, and is one that you probably wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t looking for it. But not going in and staying there would be a … More Hostel Review: Smile Society Boutique Hostel
