Save/ShareIf you're looking to cut costs in Europe (and who isn't anymore?), you may have considered hostels. One resource, europeanhostels.com, has been around since 1999. The site has just been overhauled and now has 38 European city guides, editor's picks, hostel photos, user reviews, and travel forums.
One thing that's really cool is the site search: Sort results by popularity, price, or user rating. Plus, you can view all locations on a Google map (also sorted by price) to find the location that fits you best. Other sites, like hostelworld.com, have maps, too, but they aren't sorted by price (and they're not nearly as user-friendly).
A little leery of hostels? One comforting thing is the fact that the "editor's picks" are vetted by the guys at europeanhostels.com—unlike hostelworld.com, which is simply user generated.
User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who violate any of our posting standards, terms of use or privacy policies or any other policies governing this site. Please review the full rules governing commentaries and discussions.
Another wonderful hostel resource for Europe in hostelbookers.com. You might also consider clarifying that hostelworld.com does allow you to sort by price in the results page, it does not however allow you to sort by price when viewing the mapped results.
Hostels are amazing - always read the comments left on online booking sites before planning your stay. It's the best way to avoid the threat of bedbugs and surprises!
