#top hostels

here's the round-up of the best places we stayed at during our round-the-world trip. Hostels were often the first place to look, but we weren't willing to sacrifice comfort for a cheap 20-person dorm. Nor was the late night partying in the room our thing, so those places didn't work for us. Our budget was tight, and it was always a bit of a task finding somewhere charming and clean to sleep. 

We carried sleep sacks and sleeping bags with us everywhere, but at these places, we definitely didn't need them:

Kumbha Palace, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India - $10/room
