Hostels
If you’re on a budget but are planning the trip of a lifetime and want to sunbathe on Copacabana beach in
Rio de Janeiro, climb the Eiffel Tower in
Paris, go shark-diving in
Cape Town or experience the bright lights of
New York, this doesn’t mean you have to stay in a
hostel to save money. In the past, they were the only option for travellers looking for
cheap accommodation. Staying in this type of lodging invariably means that you’ll have to sacrifice your privacy and sleeping pattern as you could be sharing a room with up to 12 others.
A Unique Alternative to a Hostel
Instead of settling for noisy, crowded lodging, Wimdu can help you to find beautiful
privately-owned lodging. For the same price as a night you will have your own room to yourself in a lovely, privately-owned apartment or house. Whether you are looking for a
room in London, a bijous
studio in Cannes, a spacious
flat in Berlin or a house with a pool in
Melbourne, Wimdu can help you to find the perfect home away from home. The website enables private owners to offer their available properties to travellers and tourists so that they have a unique and authentic place to stay when visiting a new city. Search through the available accommodation listed on Wimdu and you’ll see that you can find a gorgeous
apartment for the same price as a hostel!
The Benefits of Booking with Wimdu
Hostels do provide a sociable environment, however, when you book accommodation through
Wimdu, the property owner will act as your host and give you insider tips on their city so that you’ll find out about great places that aren’t in the guide books and possibly make a new friend. Ask your host where to find the coolest bars in
Barcelona, the nicest shops in
Milan, the prettiest beaches in
Ibiza or the best street food in
Bangkok! When you’re planning your next trip, check out the Wimdu website and opt for a cheap flat or
guest house for your next holiday!
