Australia

Grand:
The Pickled Frog- Hobart, Tasmania
They had a DOG!

Arts Factory- Byron Bay, New South Wales Hippies, didgeridoos, nature walks, yoga- serenity now.

Europe

Worst:
The Shinning-Dublin, Ireland
If the name wasn’t enticing enough. I’ve seen the movie, and now I’ve almost experienced it. One lucky individual on Hostelworld wrote a simple, yet elegant comment: “I would rather sleep on the street”. Too true were his words. It is one of those instances where you feel cleaner not showering.

Best: Pink Palace- Corfu, Greece With this timeless accommodation you’re going to have a good time, 100% of the time. Make sure to partake in the Booze Cruise.

Budapest Bubble- Budapest, Hungary Who is the best? You the best. Budapest. Olga the owner is an absolute doll.

India

Live like a King: The Kothi Heritage- Jodhpur, India Lavish to say the least. Who knew I could afford something so nice?

Not so Much: Unknown- Agra, India So I, unfortunately, I have no recollection of the name of the hotel, the address or any identifier. More accurately, it was one of the worst experiences of my life so I have blocked it from my memory. All I know is that it was within walking distance of the Taj Mahal. You walk in to find the stairway missing so you have to jump to your door. There were bedbugs and live cut wires. I lay horizontal, fully clothed with my towel as a blanket, and backpack as a pillow not wanting to touch anything.
