Penny Pinching to get to Paradise

So, summer is here and I for one am ready for some serious beach time. I am in desperate need of a tan but like most are on a very limited budget. Alas, here comes the answer..a great way to get your vacay while still being nice to your wallet. Welcome to the wonderful world of Hostelbookers!

So you might hear hostel and picture a crappy rundown hallway full of backpacking college kids, but there are actually some pretty decent places available if you know where to look. A major plus to booking your hostels ahead of time on a site like Hostelbookers is that you can check it out before you get there..they provide views of both the inside and out, so you can be sure that you wont have to watch your belongings like a hawk or wake up to the smell of pot. This fab-o site is offering 250 stays at popular hostels in Barcelona, Valencia, Corfu, Alghero (Sardinia) and Santorini(my personal dream getaway location) for a special anniversary price for travel between from July 6 and 10 this year. The trips can be booked from June 1 to 5, with 50 beds going on sale from 2pm each day. For only 5 cents a night..yup 5 pennies! I know that we are all having a tough time in the moola department but everyone can afford a nickle a night!

Check it out and start planning that fabulous summer getaway!

  • Thanks for the great post. As a customer, I have witnessed today there are very few hotels who provides first class customer service with individual attention. Undoubtedly, Corfu hotel in Greece is one of them. I am very pleased with the excellent service.
