The venerable youth hostel � invented a century ago in Germany � has come along way from the dumpy dorms and lumpy bunk beds of yore. Shannon Smith takes a look at some of Berlin�s best cheap sleeps.
Within months, the two had founded EastSeven, situated just north of Berlin�s �ber-hip i want to buy airline tickets for less than 200 Mitte district. Despite what appeared to be a saturated budget travel market at the time, their project quickly became one of many modern hostels sprouting up in the centre of the German capital.
After the teacher Richard Schirrmann first came up with the idea of offering a safe and affordable place for young travellers to stay in the town of Altena in North Rhine-Westphalia, the dorm-style youth hostel concept spread like wildfire around the globe.
Of course, many modern hostels in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany have long since ditched rickety bunk beds to morph into slick budget hotels often catering to Europe�s EasyJet set rather than your typical backpacker crowd.
And with 62 hostels competing for customers in Berlin alone, it�s perhaps no surprise that four of Germany�s top-five rated hostels on booking website Hostelworld.com call the capital home � and three of them are even located within a few blocks of one another in Mitte.
i want to buy airline tickets for less than 200 "Berlin is the most visited city in Germany with 17.7 million [stays] last year,� says Lars Beineke of Wombat�s City Hostel Berlin, which came in fourth for Best German Hostel at this year�s Hostelworld.com�s HOSCARS (HOStelworld Customer Annual Ratings).

Roughly one third of Berlin�s tourists are under the age of 30, according to T�nzler. Boasting unique music, art and clubbing scenes, the capital city draws a decidedly young and distinct brand of budget traveller.

Sch�pfel and Ammon apparently have given customers a lot of what they liked at EastSeven: Hostelworld.com users have repeatedly voted EastSeven among the top contenders in the world for Friendliness, Cleanliness and Location � not to mention Best Hostel in Germany for 2008.
Would Richard Schirrmann still consider such a place a hostel? A century later there�s no way to know, but the mastermind behind the Jugendherberge would certainly have no quibble with quality accommodation easy on the wallet.
