I’m a 50 yr old man who was in a 4 bunk room with early 20 something girls, it seemed very mismatched. The men’s bathroom with 6 shower only had 3 working and the shower area was flooded so you had to shower in standing water, bathroom cabinet broken off hinges.

Great hostel easy to find and check in. Must say showers were fantastic. But door didn’t lock. Unfortunately not everyone worries about the room sharing. Guy was on his iPad and phone all night.

Gay-friendly hotels selected by misterb&b

We help ensure gay travelers can travel and feel welcome anywhere they go. To help in that aim, we have added gay-friendly hotels as alternative to our community-based room and apartment sharing.

How do we select and designate these gay-friendly hotels?
To vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider many criteria including: support or affiliation to LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), LGBTNetwork, etc. We also look at how hotels reach out to the LGBTQ+ community (LGBTQ+ section on websites, marketing spend on LGBTQ+ outlets, staff training (Out Now), etc.) and we consider their HRC ratings (USA).

When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
Find out about Mister for Good initiative in the footer and help start building tomorrow's world by making a donation.
Supporting the community is not just about survival, it's also about thriving, empowering and making a difference.
