EUROPE´S FAMOUS HOSTELS
Over 45 amazing hostels, in Europe´s hottest destinations... Europe’s Famous Hostels is an association of individually owned, independent hostels. The association was founded in 1995 when it was made up of just 5 members. As of 2014 we have grown to include 49 Hostels, both in Europe and beyond.
ADVENTURE Looking for some excitement? Head to Bad Gastein, Salzburg, Interlaken, Loch Ness or Edinburgh.
Europe’s Famous Hostels’ purpose is to provide a recognisable stamp of quality in the Hostelling business. Our name comes as a guarantee that our customers will have a great stay at the best value; choosing a Europe’s Famous Hostel is choosing quality and great customer service. Each city has only one Famous Hostel and staying at a Europe’s Famous Hostel guarantees you’ll have a great stay at unbeatable value. Where a Europe’s Famous Hostel has not yet been selected, we strive to provide travellers with the best option that each of the 200 most-searched for cities have to offer. Thanks to our years of experience at the very top of the hostelling business, we can guarantee that any hostel suggested by us will be the best that city has to offer.

From downloading emails to uploading photos, Onavo manages to reduce the data consumed massively so you don’t get a shock when your phone bill comes at the end of the month.
