Customer Reviews

Good Overview of European Hostels.

I bought Hostels European cities when I was planning a multi-country trip. I was going to be stopping only in large cities, and found that only one of the cities I was looking for was not listed in the book (Cologne). I found that it was a very comprehensive guide, and really helped me alot. Now that I've changed my trip to just Germany, I'm planning on buying the Hostels German Cities. I love their format, and really appriciate the information in the book. One should keep in mind, of course, that Hostels European cities is only about 400 pages. It covers 18 countries. Of COURSE they're not going to have every city. They'll have a few major cities from each country, because this is a EUROPEAN guide. If you want more specifics, buy a more specific book. If you want an over view of one or two major cities per country, then its a good book.

Great for the backpacker!

I'm in Europe now and I've been living off of this book and Geneva Nights. Hostels European Cities fits a much needed mold for young travels looking for something beyond the mundane museum junk.

fantastic!

This book helped me in my travels around Europe this year so much that I can hardly express my thanks. They gave great inside information, and helped me to save some much needed money, while still allowing me to have one of the best times of my life. A wonderful book, I'd recomend it for anyone who will be traveling in Europe and doing the hostelling thing. :)
