10 of the world’s most Instagrammable hostels for 2019


Earlier this year, a study released by easyJet, found Instagram has replaced travel brochures as the main inspiration for travellers picking their next destination.

The study of 2,000 18 to 65-year-olds found that 55 per cent had booked trips purely based on images they had seen on the social media platform.

Once on holiday, the research also found that holidaymakers were taking an average of 2,500 pictures per week to ensure they had the perfect snap for the ‘gram.

Yet, while a lot of aesthetically pleasing destinations come with a hefty price tag for accommodation, hostels can be a cheaper – and just as pretty – alternative for those travelling on a budget.

To help narrow down the prettiest hostels to visit, Hostelworld has released its annual roundup of the world’s most Instagrammable hostels .

As voted by backpackers, the title of the world’s most Instagrammable hostel can be given to 248 Street Hostel in Chiang Mai, Thailand – where the bathroom sinks are made from tyres and there’s a rooftop pool and swim-up bar not to be missed.

Hostels in Costa Rica, Colombia, Indonesia, USA, Australia and Italy round up the top 10 – with Colombian hostels featuring three times.

From yoga lessons in Costa Rica, to the legendary hammocks at Casa Elemento inColombia, the most alluring factor for these hostels is that prices start from just £7 per night.
