Hostelworld

Clear layout, easy to use search engine and a good review platform

Hostelworld has made finding a hostel and judging it's quality very easy, the descriptions and directions sections are well detailed and seem accurate and the availability calendar works well. It would be nice if the search engine featured a room type selection, personally i'm only interested in dorm rooms as i'm travelling on my own. Also, the payment page has an option to store credit card details, i supppose with your login account, but i can't see where i log in and hence end up filling out the entire form each time. that's probably just me not looking properly though
