What PAPER or INTERNET hostel guide or listing do you recommend as being the most best comprehensivest guide?

And are there any EBOOK guides that you recommend?

THANKS!
The Youth Hostel Association (don't let the name put you off - they cater for all ages of hostellers), is a national organisation of hostels (as distinct from Bed and Breakfast and Guest Houses) in the UK. You can find out more at: http://www.yha.org.uk/


They are also part of an international hostelling association - about which you can read more at:
http://www.hihostels.com/web/index.en.htm?linkid=980019&linksubid=hi

In the UK Youth Hostels tend to be cheap and very well run - don't know about international hostels but have heard nothing bad about them.

Happy travelling
