Euro Hostel Liverpool launches...

Let’s face it, when somebody mentions staying in a travel hostel it can conjure up images of basic accommodation which won’t break the bank. I stayed in a youth hostel for a week when I visited New York many years ago and although it was reasonably priced, the accommodation was pretty standard and the best thing about staying there was being able to afford to spend a week in New York. 

Nevertheless, the face of travel hostel accommodation has changed dramatically recently thanks to the company Euro Hostel, who have been completely reinventing the face of hostel style accommodation since they opened their first site in 2000. They now have sites in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Liverpool, meaning that you can finally go on a city break without spending a fortune staying in a hotel. 

Recently, the Euro Hostel group acquired the site of the former Hoax Hostel on Stanley Street in Liverpool city centre and they have given it an impressive £600,000 makeover to transform it into a luxurious and cool hostel with a contemporary and stylish interior design aesthetic and useful extras which make your stay all the more comfortable. Euro Hostel could not be located in a better place, as Stanley Street is right in the centre of Liverpool, close to shops, bars and restaurants. 

The Euro Hostel boasts its own 250-capacity bar and live music venue called The Hatch, which serves food and drinks all day.
There are 260 bed spaces at Euro Hostel and three types of accommodation are available; private rooms for one, two, four, six or eight people as well as dorms and the new VIP suites. All accommodation types have en-suite bathrooms and with free WiFi in all areas, you can still keep up with work or study during your stay!
I was delighted to be given a sneak preview of the hostel and I found out all about the new VIP suites which are equipped with a sleeping area, private living area and bathroom. What girl could resist a suite which also comes with useful extras such as GHD straighteners, widescreen television and USB ports? Euro Hostel have definitely taken the whole concept of hostel accommodation and completely revolutionised it! 

The Liverpool Euro Hostel launched with a glamorous party on 12^th November when the cocktails flowed and there was live music from The Showhawk Duo. I think Euro Hostel is such a cool concept, offering affordable accommodation in stylish surroundings which can even cater to larger groups of family or friends in the VIP suites.

Euro Hostel’s general manager at Liverpool, Emma Wright said: “The Euro Hostel brand has changed the perception of hostel accommodation and it’s become an incredibly popular, sociable and fun way to visit a city". I could not agree more and I am looking forward to staying there myself sometime soon!

What do you all think, have you ever stayed in a travel hostel and would you like to stay in one of the cool and stylish Euro Hostels? As always I cannot wait to hear your thoughts and thank you so much for reading this post!
