· DUBLIN: Four Courts Hostel
Just steps away from Dublin's hopping Temple Bar neighborhood, the Four Courts will have you wondering why they don't just lose the "s" and call it a hotel. With key-card room access, the hostel is so secure you even can keep your pints of Guinness exposed with little concern. Enjoy views of the River Liffey, a game of pool and a free breakfast in this beautiful Georgian building.

· ISTANBUL: BaHaus Guesthouse
With a DVD and CD library, a restaurant serving Turkish and vegetarian cuisine, panoramic views of the Marmara Sea and hair dryers in the bathrooms, it's hard to beat this hostel, located a few leaps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

· LONDON: Palmers Lodge
Even the bunk beds are beautiful at this refined hostel, with chandeliers, mahogany staircases and common rooms that seem more appropriate for tea sipping than beer guzzling.

· PRAGUE: Czech Inn
Almost too hip to be a hostel, the Czech Inn makes many boutique hotels seem downright dowdy. With modern interiors, spotless rooms and pristine common spaces, you can keep those shower shoes in your suitcase.
