It\u2019s not just the views, the weather, or the nightlife, it\u2019s the energy. The kind that pulls you out of your routine and into something more social, more spontaneous.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"435\">And where you stay plays a big part in that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"736\">The right hostel isn\u2019t just somewhere to sleep.
