In Europe, some hostels run more like B+Bs rather than the huge traveler dorms people think they are (think Hostelling Int. and the like). I stayed in a great one in Glasgow. It was really three houses with the walls knocked down and then connected. There were all sorts of crazy passageways and weird stairways. And the breakfast was *awesome*. And we all had wee tea kettles in the rooms too. I think our whole stay cost 45 pound (90 USD) for two nights (we had a double bed and a private bath, the group rooms w/o bath were cheaper)
We also stayed at a lovely B+B in Dublin, both times we were there. Its called ABC house. Absolutely lovely room, comfy bed, delicious breakfast, wonderful owners.
I used
