Each recommended hostel has a two-page entry in the book, chock-full of information. Included in each entry are multiple photographs (even the author believes a picture is worth a thousand words), a candid review of “what to expect”, a “fast facts” list of practical tips and information, and a brief recommendation for various types of hostellers.
