Use Google Maps to Find Your Next Hostel

by Willy Volk (RSS feed) on Feb 15th 2007 at 3:11PM

I was on a budget when I visited Amsterdam. Consequently, I flipped through my tattered LP endlessly to try to riddle out where I'd be staying. Had Hostelbookers had their wicked Google Maps mash-up available at the time, I would've been delighted. In fact, I just found 33 hostels in Amsterdam's downtown area, each pinned to a Google Map, and each featuring prices, photos, and booking information.

Not staying in Amsterdam? No problem. Hostelbookers' website has a vast database of cities with hostels, including dozens throughout Australia, Germany, Thailand, Estonia, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and more.
