Hostelio.com recently ann... ounced a partnership with Hostelbookers.com which will enable users to find and reserve beds at thousands of youth hostels and B&B's worldwide using the website. Hostelio's founder Ersan Erdem said: "We're thrilled to have linked up with Hostelbookers to offer our users hostel booking on our site. As the only independent hostel booking site that doesn't charge booking fees, we believe Hostelbookers offers great value for money. Also, with the emphasis on quality rather than quantity in their portfolio of hostels, we should be able to promise our users a decent place to stay when they book a hostel through the site."More
