HostelBookers Offers Top Hostel Deals In January Winter Sale

    LONDON, ENGLAND, January 08, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 24-day promotion has something for even the most budget-conscious traveler, from sun-drenched beach breaks in Koh Samui to snow sport getaways in the Italian Alps and Dolomites of South Tirol; all at a fraction of the standard prices.

The January winter sale will feature discounts on 369 hostels and budget hotels throughout 91 towns and cities in 28 countries, for travel booked between 7 - 31 January 2010 and completed before 31 March 2010.

The sale will offer deals on accommodation split into four categories; adventure travel, beach holidays, cheap city breaks and ski trips.

The most significant savings can be found in the city breaks category. At Ca' Contarini, in the often unaffordable Venice, rooms are available from just GBP1.79 pppn (90 percent off) while a stay at Vienna's Hotel Schild has 60 percent reductions on its usual prices.

Huge discounts are also available on beach holidays with the Edgewater Backpackers in Nadi, Fiji, offering rooms from as little as GBP2.48 pppn- 40 percent less than its standard prices.

Travelers looking to escape the cold for the sunnier climes and adventure of Durban, South Africa, can find accommodation at Wavecrest Lodge, from GBP32.50 pppn.

In the ski trip category, Hotel Astoria in Bled, Slovenia, has accommodation from just GBP21.99 pppn (a 30 percent reduction).

14 of the properties participating in the sale will offer a discount of 40 percent on their normal prices, opening up New Year breaks to cities such as Athens, Florence, New York City, Paris, Port Elizabeth, Prague and Rome at a fraction of the usual costs.

David Smith, chief operating officer of HostelBookers, said, "With the huge assortment of heavily discounted properties that HostelBookers is offering this month, everyone can afford to start 2010 with their ideal break."

"We're aware of the enormous range of travelers who now consider hostels and budget accommodation and their vast range of interests and requirements, so we've ensured a great range of quality properties which are clearly classified and will appeal to adventure, beach, city break or ski enthusiasts. Knowing that people are keen to continue watching their finances, but not stop traveling in 2010, our sale should hopefully enable travelers to realise several New Year's resolutions in one go."
