I love the phrase "for all the world citizens" , so for the one who would like to explore Barcelona, I will suggest MelonDistrict. It is a residence hall for students, but they keep some rooms for young people like us who explore the city for a couple of nights. The place has a white-gray urban style, but the location and the lovely girls of the front desk is the best.

Bruges is often heralded the Venice of the North. Once in the city centre you will see why: the historic heart of the city remains untouched, and there are many monument buildings, exceptional churches, atmospheric squares as well as the famous canals.

The hotel exudes a personal ambience, combined with state of the art comfort. Even the most demanding guest will rapidly feel at home!

For the impatient citizens; until citizenM opens, one of the best alternative hotels in Amsterdam is Hotel V.
Individually owned and run, this hotel offers affordable design a little off the beaten path at the Victorieplein, which is in the southern part of Amsterdam but walking distance from the city centre.
