Hostels in Scotland was launched this month with the sole aim of offering the best online directory for Scottish hostels on the internet. It was launched as part of the Rooms in Scotland group of websites which have grown to be very popular over the years.
Backpaking is becoming one of the most popular methods of travel throughout the world, especially for 18-30 yr olds who do round the world trips. Hostels have improved greatly over the years and are now a pretty safe and inexpensive for of accommodation.
As well as cost hostels often have great city centre locations which make them the ideal locations for getting out sightseeing or for being amongst the main nightlife of a town or city. Also for any travellers who are travelling alone hostels are a great place for meeting people and making friends who can share tips and experiences.
Hostels in Scotland offers a current database of over 100 hostels throughout Scotland and we hope to increase that amount over the coming months. It is free for hostel owners to add their hostel details to the database, all that is asked for in exchange is a link back to us on their website.
We believe that the internet was founded on the basis of finding free and relevant information and by making the directory free it should encourage owners to sign up and therefore increase the richness of the database.
The website is easy to navigate and we have used Google maps to display hostel locations throughout Scotland and make it easy to find hostels throughout the country. The main map on the homepage has all the hostels listed in our directory or alternatively there are regional maps with all the hostels in the various regions of Scotland.
As well as listing hostels there are also other section on the website with useful information, one these is a free attractions section. At present some of the most popular free attractions in Scotland are listed here and eventually this will grown to encompass all the most popular free attractions in Scotland.
We are hoping to make the website the perfect place for planning a budget trip to Scotland and features that will be launching later this year include budget itineraries for all the cities in Scotland and also a budget transport section.
