On your Travel Around the World for Cheap feature we noticed that for hostel information you recommend Hostels.com. Hostels.com used to be a good site for information about hostels, but it was bought out by an online booking company (HostelWorld) and now it just directs people to the HostelWorld reservation system -- they list less than half of the existing hostels worldwide, and they no longer provide contact information for most hostels unless you make a reservation through them. But there is an alternative site with a lot more hostel information. Hostelz.com is a free guide that lists information about all hostels worldwide. It's the most complete online database of hostel information, both in terms of the contact information for the hostels and the number of hostels covered. It also provides reviews from people who have stayed in the hostels. Dave writes:
