If you’re the sort of intrepid traveller who thinks nothing of sleeping under the stars or pitching your tent atop a mountain just to secure the best view of the Northern Lights, then you’ll love the range of quirky accommodation on offer from Hostelling International.
Here’s just a selection of the most interesting places around the globe to try and catch 40 winks:
