Würzburg


With a name inspired by a creature in Douglas Adams' novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this uncluttered and spotlessly clean hostel has 74 beds spread over two floors and a sunny rooftop terrace. The communal areas are inviting places to down a few beers in the evening and there's a well-equipped guest kitchen. Breakfast costs €5.90.
