We can’t really expect much when it comes to budget sleeping accommodations. Searches are normally done based on price and location.
As for the state of the hostel… well, it’s like playing Russian roulette. Some backpackers are surprised with how squalid some of those hostels could be. And then there are those lucky ones who have blindly chosen the good hostels.
Yes, you’d probably be spending most of your time outdoors, discovering what the country has to offer. You would only be sleeping in your hostel so it doesn’t really matter, right? Wrong!
I am sure you wouldn’t appreciate sleeping in …read more

Since Brussels and the Scandinavian capitals cater to Business travelers, business tend to be slow on weekends. And since it’s slow, travelers without reservations are offered big discounts. All you have to do is show up at the tourist office. They’ll be able to book you a fancy business hotel room for only a fraction of the price.

RyanAir’s commercial for the £0 offer was refused clearance by the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Center after Monach Airlines complained that the ad was misleading.
I would have done the same. It definitely is not going to cost passengers £0 since you still have to add taxes and charges.
I am not surprised, though. RyanAir is known to have “potentially misleading” advertisments. Their first fray into that kind of advertisment is when they first advertised destinations. Say, Hahn was sold as “Frankfurt/Hahn” even if it is 100km away from Frankfurt.
If RyanAir was a child, he would have already been accused of …read more

Service provided by easyCruise, of course!
From Summer 2007, easyCruiseOne will start taking travelers to Greece. You can start dreaming of traveling to “Athens and the cosmopolitan islands of Mykonos, Paros and Ios as well as the undiscovered islands of Milos, Amorgos, Naxos, Folegandros, Sifnos and Serifos“.
For only £30 per person, you can take a three night mini break (based on two people sharing a standard cabin). If that isn’t cheap, I do not know what is.
Book NOW for a great yet inexpensive summer of 2007 in Greece!
I love to read. And reading has always been part of my travel plans. I read the lonely planet on a shoestring series of books, in addition to whatever information I can find online. Should you, like me, like to read about your chosen destination before your trip, you may want to check out Packed Magazine.
Packed magazine is Europe’s FREE travel magazine for backpackers, independent- & budget travellers.
I just discovered Packed last week at a bar here in Frankfurt. Believe me, there are tons of information you can get from this magazine. Valuable information for …read more
EasyCruise is part of that big company offering budget options in Europe. It’s another business venture by the master entrepreneur of the easyGroup, Stelios.
Their only condition to passengers is that they are given the allowance to blind you with the color orange. hehe.
And here’s yet another good news (the first being the fact that easyCruise is already cheap as it is) for wannabe-cruisers…
You will soon be able to book EasyCruise via Ebay. They will be both offered under ‘auction’ and ‘buy it now’ in eBay sites in the UK, Germany, Italy, Switerland and Austria. …read more
