Weird But Cool Hostels

cb mania....!

This post is brought to you by Travel4Cheap your personal live travel agent.

10 years ago I swore to myself to never ever stay in a hostel again after staying in horrible place in California 10 years ago. But things have changed and in my research I find couple of super nice hostels I would stay in ( emmm well book a private room in. My dorm days are definitely in the past).

Get ready for some odd places.

Zhangzhou Wei Qun Lou Inn, China

It totally reminds of an outer space settlement or something. Breathtaking!

As the unique building model in the mountainous area, Fujian Tulou is a miracle in the history of world architecture. It is the symbol of wisdom and diligence of Hakka people who moved to the boundary of Guangdong and Fujian from the central plains of China. Tulou, as an outstanding representative of Hakka culture, is listed to World Cultural Heritage in July, 2008. Now, Tulou is attracting more and more people in the world.

Apron Inn (also called Yude building), originally built in 1802, was damaged in a big fire lighted by warlord. In 1972, Zhang Qingchong rebuilt the cedar part of it because at that time only six families of his relatives were in great need of living rooms. Seen from the hills, Yude building looks like a beautiful apron of girls. Therefore, it got this name-Apron building. The moment you step into it, sweet air and bright light would refresh you body and soul.

Carbisdale Castle, Scotland

Ok, now that’s a real castle.

Why not stay in a real highland castle? Carbisdale Castle Youth Hostel was built for the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland. Since then it has housed wealthy and influential people, and even served as a royal refuge.

The Castle has a large art collection and a collection of Italian marble statues on display in a main gallery and even a ghost. An amazing experience not to be missed. Carbisdale is set in an area of extensive natural beauty overlooking the river Kyle with many local woodland walks.

Anak Ranch, Mongolia

Emmm … awesome!

At the ranch, you can ride unfenced, wide-open steppe and taiga in the last great wilderness of the world. You might take a hunk of cheese, a stick of sausage, and a canteen and ride out to look for the horses, ranging somewhere on the open steppe or in the hills. You might ride north for a few days to spy the Russian Orthodox monastery across the border, or southwest to the lost Buddhist monastery in the hills.

You will sleep in a ger, the traditional Mongolian nomad’s home. You will eat home-grown and all-natural food, including roast meat, cheese, stew, vegetables, milk, yogurt, and airag. You will learn to drink vodka the Mongolian way, accepting a proffered glass with honor and blessing the land in the directions of the four winds.

Radeka Downunder Underground Mine Hostel, Australia

Charming but with wifi.

Radeka Downunder Underground Backpackers Inn & Underground Motel is located in the centre of Coober Pedy, Outback South Australia. You go 6.5m deep down into the Earth for your accommodation like the locals to escape the heat of summer and the cold of winter.

Radeka Downunder was originally an Opal Mine which has now been transformed into an Underground accommodation outlet with Dorm Beds, Budget Rooms and Motel Rooms with ensuite.
