Not really, I have never spent a night in London.

Sounds like a whirlwind trip! :stunned: Will you be traveling alone?

 

no, i'm going with a girl from florida - strictly friends at this point.

any hostels you would recommend?

 

Two times I stayed in a German youth hostel near Lancaster Gate station, but unfortunately I don't remember the name of the hostel and cannot find it in the web either. Prices were very cheap (compared to other prices you must pay in London) and the continental (!!!) breakfast was excellent. I don't like typical English breakfast...

where should I visit in Ireland after I have done Dublin, before heading into Edinburgh?

 

also, what is the cheapest way to get around Ireland?

Kilkenny should be a nice town or at least that's what everyone told me, never had a chance to vist it the three times I've been to Ireland; also Glendalough and Clonmacnoise

 

Oh a nice hostel in Budapest is Marco Polo, near Keleti train station and the city center (just two metro stops away), don't think is the cheapest but it's very clean and as I said is in a very strategic position.

 

As for Venice, you can check here, or Santa Fosca hostel ;)

Remember to visit Stonehedge :P

:book2: sounds interesting

thanks, i'll try to google for it.

 

continental breakfast is fine even though i'd prefer a full english breakfast because you dont necessarily need to have lunch afterwards.

I know some people that used this site and they said the places they stayed were OK.

Watch out for rich people paying to torture kids who stay at hostels, though.
