2010-01-20T20:33:00.001+01:00

Luxury Low Budget Hostel in Berlin

2009-12-09T10:13:00.002+01:00

And I though the hostel “36 Rooms” is the best choice when staying in Berlin. Check out this spanking new Grand Hostel which doesn’t look and feel like a hostel at all. And yet … you are still just paying hostel prices. The new number one hostel in Berlin! And I love the fact that they rent bikes.

Accommodation Information

In the Grand Hostel Berlin you will find 32 rooms styled in a manorial way. There are beautiful "Sleeping Salons" of up to 5 persons and cozy single bed rooms. We offer community bathrooms and also en-uite double rooms.

All rooms feature lockable cupboards, a key card system and every bed has its own reading lamp. There is free use of W-LAN through out the building and a snug lounge area. We also have some bedrooms and bathrooms with disabled access. All our rooms have separate beds, no bunk beds.

Location Information

The hostel is situated in the middle of Berlin adjacent the Landwehrkanal (waterway). The suburbs Kreuzberg and Mitte meet here. You can either go to the Bergmannkiez with its noble buildings and their stylish courtyards or to Potsdamer Platz – the new Mitte of Berlin, or the multicultural area in SO 36 or to Checkpoint Charly in the Friedrich Street. Here you are in the center of everything by foot or by bike!

Great Hostel in Lisbon: Alfama Patio Hostel

2009-09-10T20:02:00.001+02:00

Romantic Lisbon – is so worth a visit. Charming hilly streets with yellow trams busting through. No other European can offer this.

The Alfama Patio belongs to one of the best hostels in Lisbon because of it’s location, price and of course it’s Patio:

Image credits: Willi Hybrid & guidguid

In our hostel we have shared dormitories with 4 and 6 beds and shared bathroom. We have one six bed dorm with private bathroom. As well we have two double rooms with shared bathroom, but with balcony and very nice view to the river and Alfama district. We can accomodate at this moment 36 persons, but we are still growing...Our rooms are very sunny and most of them have balconies.

Girls don´t worry! Mirror in every room! Small lights and box for your small personal stuff available for every bed. Our rooms are mostly decorated in eclectic style - modern mixed with antique things.

Location Information

Some of the most visited monuments are at walking distance: Lisbon Castle, Se Cathedral, National Pantheon, S. Vicente Fora Monastery and many more.
Even today, as in the past, white clothes hang at the windows to dry, colorful flowers sit on ledges and legendary yellow trams wind their way up Lisbon's narrow streets.
Our hostel has a private grass courtyard with barbecue and hammocks, and a terrace with stunning views over the Alfama district, the Tagus River and the S. Vicente de Fora Church and Monastery.

We have a very familiar atmosphere and we are friendly. You will immediately feel like home. We will help you plan your stay and guide you through the city’s hot spots. You will not miss the best that Lisbon offers.

Alfama Patio Hostel is definitely the right place for you! Though we like to have fun, we are not mainly a party hostel (even if we are having our world famous barbecue party every Saturday). Our aim is to provide a quiet and relaxed atmosphere in the hostel, so if you’d like to party after midnight, it is possible to go to the clubs and bars nearby.

Best Carry On Suitcase

2009-08-25T17:57:00.001+02:00

This is awesome – I have checking my luggage and I my checking in suitcases disappeared too many times.

This carry on holds an entire weekend's worth of clothes yet folds to merely 3" thick for unobtrusive storage. A patented accordion frame expands and folds in seconds; simply press a button on the frame to engage or release the hinges and the frame opens and closes with ease. When open, the carry on has a 1,560" Cu. main compartment that allows you to quickly pack and remove travel items.

An integrated garment carrier accommodates a full suit and dress shirt and keeps delicate garments separate from the contents of the main compartment, and eight smaller pockets keep travel items organized. The frame is made from durable fiberglass that can support up to 100 lbs., and the 1680-denier ballistic nylon exterior resists tears, punctures, and water. Four wheels, a telescoping handle, and the carry on's streamlined rectangular shape allow you to easily navigate aisles and terminals.

Super Solar Shower Bag

2009-08-23T19:02:00.001+02:00

Out in the wild and just have the urge to take a hot shower?

Being dirty is not where it's at. That's why showers were invented. Unfortunately, unless you're into freezing your you-know-whats off, showers require power. And that means you can't have a nice hot shower when you're stuck in the middle of the wilderness. Or does it?

Step forward the ingenious Super Solar Shower. This incredibly useful, eco-friendly shower system has been specifically designed for those moments when you want a shower but you're miles from power. And that's because it is heated by everyone's favorite bright orangey thing.
