A great balcony to watch the passing traffic and look out over the Caribbean on this laid back island.

5.

The biggest room all to ourselves, and there was a swimming pool too.

6.

View of the Cathedral in Zacetacas, Mexico

Zacetacas, Mexico

From the rooftop sitting area we had fantastic view of the Cathedral. We actually had the same view from out the window of our room. Cheap beer and a well equiped kitchen were also bonuses

7.

The Youth Hostel on top of the hill in Whitby, England

Whitby, England

The Youth Hostel is located on top of the hill just next to an old cemetery and the Abbey ruins. The view was sensational at night with the abbey lit up

8.

View out the window in Don Det, Laos

Don Det, Laos

For only a couple of dollars a night we had our own place with this view of the river. The owners would cook you up whatever you wanted

9.

Our own private beach in Altrani, Italy

Atrani, Italy

A wonderful setting on the Italian coast with this great little beach just down from our hostel. The service was very good, and the breakfast even better

10.

Green Tortoise, San Fransisco, USA

Green Tortoise, San Francisco, USA

With free breakfast and occasional evening meals, organised nights out, all the info you need and friendly staff, this hostel really had it all worked out.
