You're right, the Western U. S. needs more of these accomodations. To answer your question: I live in a little town called Blanchard dead center in between Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint. Very pretty.

I want to find more of them ( particularly in the Western U.S. ) I can also personally recommend one in Costa Rica. It's labeled a guest house, but rooms starting at only $20 ( smallest one ), I'd say it's " hostel priced". Google the fountains guest house - it's awesome! Chrystyne: Where are you in the Panhandle ? I would totally stop there since I'm road tripping that way soon. I love this idea ! I want to find more of them ( particularly in the Western U.S. )

My Dad is interested in backing me in a B and B....way to America for my sensibilities, but a boutique hostel...now that's something I can get my quirky self around. Feed back please :) Would anyone come to such an establishment in the Idaho Panhandle? This article couldn’t be more timely.

And, heads up, if anyone is going to Prague - definitely check out the Czech Inn (www.czech-inn.com). The new rooms are swanky! Great article, Carlo!

I mean, it is great and all but didn't seem any fancier than your average beach hostel. Although you can rack up an enormous tab at the bar/restaurant if you're not careful. I do like the idea of boutique hostels, though. I'm 26 now, and some of the hostels I've stayed at made me feel old (and I'm way too young to feel old!) I think the real secret to a great hostel is to have a really mixed crowd of people hanging around - different ages, nationalities, and plenty of locals too!

And yes, i guess we're happy to make some room.. the more the marrier! Excellent article, congrats!

I hope the trend continues...but at the same time, the costs stay reasonable. Yeah, I can imagine! I hope the trend continues…but at the same time, the costs stay reasonable.
